Improvements
Data Search improvements via canvas
The Data Search table screen uses canvas now. This means that instead of using traditional HTML elements to display and interact with our data, we will use a single canvas element.
Before, each element is part of the webpage’s structure and can be individually styled and manipulated. The new canvas model provides more flexibility and performance for complex graphics and large datasets. Regarding performance, this implies faster rendering for large amounts of data. Complex visualizations are easier to render now.
In simple terms, we’re moving from a structure of many small building blocks to drawing everything on a single surface, which should make our data visualizations faster and more powerful.
Smooth navigation through huge tables without any lag or waiting times.
Removed the 50 visible columns limit. Now, we can handle a huge number of columns and rows without tradeoff.
When a query doesn’t have data, we display a new message to the user.
Improved drag & drop feature to be more user-friendly. Removed limitation where the user couldn’t drop a column in the last position.
Users can move through the table with the arrow keys or tab key, just like a spreadsheet.
Double-clicking on a cell will display the wrapped content of the cell (useful when a cell is very large).
We removed Highlighting options to reduce the available options in the menu.
Shortcuts that involved hovering over a cell to perform certain actions over your data table have been changed. Now, you must select a cell by clicking it. Learn more in this article.
Bug fixes
Fixed the Download an event button from the Selected events wizard in Data Search. When pressing the space bar over an event, a wizard will open showing the details of the event. In that wizard, the Download button failed to download the event.
In Global search, the links in the table
all.datain the field tables did not work properly. All tables are opened correctly now.
