4.2 Release Notes

Scuba release 4.2 includes the ability to create an information banner, the ability for Support to set a default page for your users, improvements to advanced filters and chart options, and several other enhancements and bug fixes.

New features

Scuba release 4.2 includes the following new features:

• An admin can now create an information banner at the top of every page in Scuba in their environment. This lets them communicate system information with their users.

• An admin can now set a default starting page in Scuba for their users by contacting Scuba support. This can be any page within Scuba, for example the custom information page or a board or query.

• Advanced filters have received several improvements. To access advanced filters, in the query builder, click "Split by" or "Filtered to", then type an equals sign and click the external window icon to open the Advanced Operations window. The improvements include:

  • Adding suggestions for values.

  • Adding some validation for expressions.

  • Removing nonsensical options from the expression matcher drop-downs.

• Improved chart options in Explore as well as apps, including a new "clear all" button, several bug fixes, and internal logging.

Additional enhancements

Some items in the query builder have new labels for clarity:

• "Compare" changed to "add measure".

• "Split by options" had only one option, order by. Changed text to say "order by".

• The sampled button has been restyled.

Small updates to the emailed dashboard dialog for consistency.
