Number formatting options include no decimal places, two decimal places, or other supported formats based on the dataset. This feature is supported on column, bubble, area, line, scatter, donut, and pie charts. Number formatting is available for polar and pie charts. For more information, see Column chart.

    • Zoom: The Zoom option provides greater control over zooming behavior in charts. Users can choose from the following options: Both (zoom on both X and Y axes), Category Axis (zoom on the X-axis only), Value Axis (zoom on the Y-axis only), or No Zoom (disable zooming). This feature is available for column, bubble, area, line, heat map, scatter, combination, and tree charts. For more information, see Column chart.

    • Tooltips: Custom tooltip options are introduced to enhance chart interactivity. Users can define multiple tooltips with features such as adding labels from dataset fields, selecting a tooltip field to display values, and choosing format types including plain text, custom date formats, or number formats with units. Tooltip display modes include Shared (showing all series values in one tooltip), Split (separate tooltips for each series), and Non-shared (tooltip for the hovered series only). Custom tooltips are available for column, bubble, area, line, heat map, scatter, donut, polar, combination, pie, and tree charts. For more information, see Column chart.

    • Stacking: A Comparison mode has been added to the Stacking option for Column charts. The updated options includes: Normal, which shows absolute values in a standard stacked format; Percent, which scales stacks to 100% for each category; and Comparison, which displays metrics side by side rather than stacking them. The Comparison mode also includes a Comparison Spacing setting to adjust the spacing between bars or columns for clearer visual separation. For more information, see Column chart.

  • Template Properties: Time Filter Enhancement and Export Configuration- It allows users to enable the following options.

    • Time Filter Enhancement: The Time Filter includes a Refresh setting that, when enabled and applied, displays a Last Updated timestamp on the dashboard. This makes it easier to track data freshness without manually checking the source, providing greater confidence in the timeliness of insights. For more information, see Time Filter.

    • Export Configuration: It allows the selection of export formats for dashboards and individual widgets in Explore > Dashboard. For dashboard exports, JPEG, PNG, and PDF options can be toggled on or off. For widget exports, JPEG and PNG formats are available. After clicking Apply > Save, only the enabled formats appear when using the Export icon, making it easy to download dashboards or widgets in the selected formats. For more information, see Export.

Metric Hub

Metric Hub assists in quantitative measurements used to assess and evaluate various facets of a system, process, product, or performance. They provide objective data that aids in informed decision-making, track progress, and help identify areas for improvement.

In Genix 25.2, following are the new features and enhancements

  • Activity Log for Event analysis- It allows users to visualize both past and ongoing alert events with clear categorization, provides an instant overview of the total number of events, including severity-specific counts for quick assessment, displays key details such as event type, metric values breaching thresholds, and timestamps, and enables users to easily distinguish between critical, warning, and normal events through intuitive, color-coded indicators for faster decision-making. For more information, see Event History.

  • Metric allocation to Location Hierarchy- It allows users to assign metrics directly to Location Hierarchy nodes (e.g., Country ➔ Region ➔ Plant ➔ System), with easy selection from an expandable location tree structure. It enables improved metric organization, contextual insights, and targeted performance monitoring across various operational levels. For more information, see Location Hierarchy.

  • Sharing co-authoring- It allows users to share metrics directly with individuals or groups. It supports precise access permissions, ensuring users can monitor or modify metrics as needed. A user-friendly interface allows quick search and selection of recipients, enhancing collaboration, governance, and secure data access. For more information, see Share Metric.

  • Indicators- It allows users to perform advanced analytical functions on any metric chart, such as calculating moving averages, sums, or running totals, simplifies complex calculations through an intuitive interface. For more information, see Indicators.

  • Notification Enhancements- It allows users to configure trigger rules using dynamic dimensions to tailor alerts to specific contexts. Notifications are delivered through multiple channels, including email and in-product alerts, ensuring timely and relevant communication. For more information, see Notifications.

Reports Hub
