6.3.9.2
released on September 17th 2021
Version 6.3.9 improves support for Microsoft Azure, making it easier to develop business intelligence applications in the cloud. Microsoft Azure Analysis Services can now also be addressed directly, and authentication via Active Directory is possible for Microsoft Azure SQL Database. The expressions for dynamic calculations along the time dimension, which are very useful in relational applications, have become more powerful once again. Additional database connections, such as for writing back and comments in connection with planning, can now be viewed and edited in a central location.
All features in detail
- Modeling (relational): using user-defined expressions for time analysis members in calculated members directly
- Modeling (relational): new user-defined expressions for time analysis members available – first child, last child
- Publisher: repeating job execution if application is locked
- Repository: defining user group assignment rules in maintenance application
- Maintenance Dialog: editing additional database connections
- SQL Drill-Through: adjusting display column width in detail view dynamically
- Access to Microsoft Azure Analysis Services
- Access to Microsoft Azure SQL Database using Active Directory authentication
6.3.8.1
released on June 11th 2021

All features in detail
- General: displaying DeltaMaster version number in title bar
- Graphical Table: displaying line break in column header in quick view of web client
- Mobile Report: exporting time span format of measures
- Parent-Child Editor: defining selectability of drop-down list items using SQL query

6.3.7.1
released on April 16th 2021
A number of improvements affect the display of sparklines. For example, intelligently indented guides increase readability and emphasize the integrable, comparable scaling. New data sources from Google and IBM can be connected. And in mobile reports, data can now be provided to the Bissantz DashBoard in incomplete hierarchies, as you often get from external sources (for example, market data for selected countries that add up to less than the total available for the world)
All features in detail
- Export: avoiding to open export documents automatically
- Export: “Generating” preset as standard export method in new installations
- Graphical Table: dynamically labeling line sparklines
- Graphical Table: displaying line sparklines comparably with grid lines
- Graphical Table: displaying line sparklines using raster
- Graphical Table: drawing column graphics space-savingly
- Graphical Table: omitting days without data in sparklines
- Graphical Table (relational): extending sparklines beyond current period using plan or forecast data
- Mobile Report: assigning aliases to columns
- Mobile Report: exporting incomplete hierarchy with pre-aggregated All member
- Modeling (relational): referencing report filter in user-defined time expressions
- Modeling (relational): displaying unrelated dimension in filter bar if referenced by variable
- Publish: uploading job result to Bissantz Service (distribution type “bissantzservice”)
- Access to Google BigQuery using Magnitude Simba ODBC driver
- Access to IBM Cognos TM1 (IBM Planning Analytics) in cloud environment
6.3.6.3
released on March 22nd 2021
The current release expands the options for working with relational data. DeltaMaster now supports interfaces for direct access to Salesforce. This allows relational applications to be created with Salesforce data without having to extract it first. Support for tabular models in Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services has been enhanced to allow procedure calls when SQL is traversed. And creating mobile reports for the Bissantz DashBoard has become even easier with a new Magic Button organization that automatically checks the combination of comparisons.
All features in detail
- General: using cache for MDX queries (Options/System)
- General: optionally displaying main menu bar permanently (AppSettings)
- Help: retrieving articles from Bissantz Research blog (in German version of online help)
- Mobile Report: displaying history and exporting history data, if cumulation and reference values of variances are provided by means of measures
- Mobile Report: grouping columns as displayed in DashBoard app
- Mobile Report: defining start view for display in DashBoard app
- Mobile Report (relational): providing cumulation and reference values of variances by means of measures
- Multiples: exporting report in web client
- Multiples: applying filter to all sub-reports in web client
- Multiples: using value from a sub-report to filter the other sub-reports in web client
- Multiples: using value from an SQL Drill-Through sub-report to filter the other sub-reports
- Planning: executing external processing of planning data using link (target type: Database Command)
- Planning: entering data in quick view of Graphical Tables in web client
- Planning: entering values using application-specific operators
