| Windows Support | Composer v7.10 and higher can now be installed on Windows Server versions 2012 R2, 2016, and 2019 using a bootstrap script. For more information, see Install Composer in a Windows Environment. |
| Source Creation Updates | Composer v7.10 includes a redesigned source creation process to allow for more flexibility in adding, updating, and working with data sources. The source creation wizard has been removed, replaced with an expanded work area that you can use to update and access your data and data sources. See Source Creation Tab. |
| Source Creation API Updates | A new endpoint, |
| Source Management API Updates | Use the new endpoint API documentation is provided with your Composer installation at this link: |
| Global Settings API Update | Use the extended endpoint API documentation is provided with your Composer installation at this link: |
| Interpolation For Filters | Composer now supports interpolation for Global Filters at the Source level and Visual/Dashboard level filters. Attribute and Number fields support interpolation with Include and Exclude operators, and Time filters support interpolation for the Variable(s) option. Tooltips are visible to users for applicable operators, and you can still define custom values. |
| Visual and Dashboard Updates | Composer now allows you to access and re-render visuals created using columns that you may not have access to, due to column security or hidden fields. When you open a visual that uses columns restricted by column security or uses hidden fields in the field picker, grouping field picker, metric field picker, multi-metric field picker, or in a filter, Composer displays a message indicating which fields are restricted. You can now select the available column and re-render the visual. |
| Visual and Dashboard Link Updates | The dashboard links work area has been updated for easier linking for visuals and dashboards. Additionally, when you navigate to a child dashboard using a dashboard link from a parent dashboard, you can return to the previous dashboard by selecting Back. |
| Visual Types Updates | You can now, with appropriate permissions, manage Available Visual Types from the Actions menu for a specific source. Enable and disable Available Visual Types for a source as needed without affecting existing visuals for that source. For example, disable Bar visual types for a source to prevent users from creating Bar visual types from that source. Existing Bar visuals from that source remain unchanged. See Available Visual Types. |
| Live Mode and Playback Updates | You can now use expanded playback speeds for your data: 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, and 365 days. Depending on the field granularity you select, the appropriate options are shown, for example, if your granularity is set to month, you can select 30, 90, 180, or 365, but if set to a year, you can select 365. |
| Custom Metric and Derived Field Updates | You can now edit the names of custom metrics and derived fields in several places:
|
| List Widget Sorting | Use the Sort & Limit sidebar to change the sort order of items in the current display column in the list widget. Sort by ascending or descending for numeric fields, alphabetical or reverse alphabetical for alphabetical fields, and by chronological or reverse chronological date for date fields. |
| Attribute Fields Sorting Update | You can now select No Aggregation as an option in Sort & Limit work area of the sidebar menu for an attribute field used in grouping the data for a visual. If you select an attribute field not used in grouping, you can sort by Count or Distinct Count. |
| Update Custom Charts | You can now edit dynamic variable settings for your custom charts in the Composer sidebar menu. |
| Expanded Map Markers | You can now add field information to map markers using the sidebar menu, allowing users to see the field information you set as a tool tip on hover. |
| Expanded Dashboard Import API Payload | The payload for /api/dashboards/import has been expanded to return the imported object's status as CREATED or REUSED. After import, you can search for objects by name or ID, and build the object dependency graph from the response. |
| Content Security Policies for Embedded Pages | You can now tailor your content security policies for embedded Composer pages. See Content Security Policy Support for Embedded Pages. |
| Apache Solr, Cloudera Search and Elasticsearch Improvements | The keyword search for these connectors is now consistent with other search behaviors in the Composer UI to provide you with a better, more consistent user experience. elect a specific, preferred time field to sort by Most Recent. |
| zoomdata.properties Update | A new property, source.sampling.rows, is included in the zoomdata.properties file. With a default value of 1000, this is used to define the number of rows to sample and estimate metadata characteristics (e.g. cardinality) of the source fields. |
| WebSocket Updates | The access_token has been moved from the WebSocket URL to WebSocket messages to improve the security of WebSocket communication for embedded dashboards. |
| Delete Filters Update | You can now delete filters that use keysets from sources you don’t have permission to access. |
| Composer Monitoring Solution | In order to provide Composer deployments with observability into the health and performance of the running system, you can use a monitoring solution. This feature describes an example monitoring solution that we make available for download with each release of Composer. |
