GideonSoft 18.1 (April 2018)

[Final Production version 3.181.5]

Report Designer

We’re excited to introduce the ability for anyone (with the correct permissions) to easily create interactive reports directly in GideonSoft using a brand-new drag and drop interface.
Included in the new Report Designer is the ability to create a fully customizable single-person report that can display virtually any type of data that has been collected on an individual.
We’ve also added a couple new Standard Reports that have been pre-designed to display specific types of information. The first Standard Report is the Group Report which displays multiple (color-configurable) data points as columns for multiple people listed in rows.
The Report Band is commonly used in selection boards and is designed to group people based on their data. A key feature of this report is that, though you start with the data, you can still manually override individual placement, so you get the final say!
The final new report type is the 3rd Party Report Designer. This feature lets you leverage data views, so you can export any data to be used by a 3rd party visualization service. For this version we have started with Microsoft SSRS and BIRT. More 3rd party visualizations services will be released over time.
Assigning permissions for individual reports has been updated to include the ability to allow or restrict access based on specific users or multiple Roles.
We’ve added the ability for Reports to be scheduled so they will only be available when they are needed.

If you forget your password, you can now reset it as long as you have included you email address in your profile.

You can now use the mobile app to record your progress towards any goals you created in the Web app.
We’ve added the option for you to set weekly goals. This lets you aggregate your progress over one week. For example, “Exercise three times per week.”

You can now import, edit, or export feedback content in the Feedback Library. Exported feedback is stored as in CSV file for easy import into additional Modules.
Previously feedback content was stored at the Instance and Module level separately, but now it is stored at the Module level and referenced from the Instance level.

Overlords and above can now set the option to let their people update their own descriptive data directly on their profile. Examples of descriptive data are: hometown, age, or height.
Class Templates now support a Select All/Deselect All option for easier administration.
