P2 Explorer 4.4 reinvents P2 Explorer into a prime data visualization tool<\/strong>. It uses new technologies to support cross-browser<\/strong> compatibility and new, sleeker visualizations. Content is key, allowing you to zoom in on and diagnose problem areas<\/strong>, so they can be addressed quickly and effectively.<\/p>\n In P2 Explorer 4.4, elements on a page can interact with other elements on the same page to drive dynamic, information-rich displays<\/strong>, while cross-referencing of data enables further comparison and analysis of related information. An approvals<\/strong> process also allows anyone to submit their own displays for publishing to a wider audience within the organisation.<\/p>\n What sets this version apart from previous releases is the focus on usability<\/strong>. The new data selector makes data-driven pages easier to design, and a set of predefined styles for selected components significantly improves the ability to customise displays.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Table Layout is new component that arranges your data in a tabular format. You only need to configure the first row on the table and that will be repeated across each row in your data set.<\/p>\n The Table Layout content isn\u2019t just restricted to data \u2013 you can add a component to the table, including images and charts!<\/p>\n This layout is very intensive on your web browser, so we recommend that you limit the number of rows you use in this control, and that you only use one of these per page for maximum performance.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n P2 Explorer 4.4.1 introduces more of our process control shape components<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n The new Gauge<\/a> shape is similar to the Meter in that it shows a numeric value as a needle in relation to target areas. However the shape draws attention to abnormalities in operational process with selective use of colour to attract the operator\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n The new Pressure Meter<\/a> shape is similar to the Level Meter in that it provides a way of viewing a single point of numeric data with configurable alarm thresholds. However the shape uses a dot instead of a line to indicate levels.<\/p>\n The new Temperature Meter<\/a> shape is similar to the Level Meter in that it provides a way of viewing a single point of numeric data with configurable alarm thresholds. However the shape has been designed to look like a traditional thermometer, with a bulb at the end.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Simple Line<\/a> shape allows page designers to add lines on a page, and select from different orientations.<\/p>\n When used in conjunction with images and other components, this shape allows you to easily create rich, schematic-style pages.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Studio tab on the ribbon has some new additions.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Component editors now have additional options that allow page designers to reposition elements by typing in values.<\/p>\n For the Precision Layout<\/a>, component position can be specified using X and Y coordinates. You can also specify the exact height and width of the component.<\/p>\n For components in a Grid Layout<\/a>, you can specify the column and row. The top left cell is specified as Column 0, Row 0.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Page designers are now able to use arrow keys to move components on the canvas.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n When you have multiple series on a chart, you can now reorder them using up\/down arrows in the component editor.<\/p>\n The Grid Layout<\/a> now allows you to dynamically resize rows. This has the effect of increasing the vertical page size with one scrollbar, instead of scrollbars being activated for each row. This is particularly useful when using multiple tables on a page where you want them displayed without scrollbars. Using dynamic rows will affect the layouts of some controls, so it's recommended that they are used for simple grids with tables, as shown below.<\/p>\n With dynamic rows selected<\/p><\/div> Without dynamic rows<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n The Grid Layout also now highlights the selected row and column.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Additional variable parameters<\/a> are available for trend URLs, used in the same way as the variable tags<\/em><\/strong>. These are:<\/p>\n Introducing P2 Explorer 4.4.1! In this release, a new Table Layout component allows other components to be displayed in a tabular format. Several new shapes, along with enhancements to the ribbon, allow page designers to design more feature-rich pages.<\/p>\nTable Layout<\/h2>\n
