Version 4.3 available

by Guus Mathijssen on Apr 2nd, 2008

We are proud to announce the availability of Mirror42 version 4.3.

Highlights


Save portal tab as PDF

This new feature allows saving a portal tab (dashboard) as a PDF document. This PDF document can be send by email for example.

Constants

Constants allow defining metrics that have a constant value, for example costs of people or other resources. These constants can be then used in formulas to calculate KPIs

Templates

Currently templates of domains and KPIs structures are stored in XML files. These XML files are for example used to generate KPI structures based on extracted Metamart instances from external data repositories. This new template feature will allow maintaining template structures in the Designer, and using these templates by applying them to create new structures in the Designer.

Option “top” instances in group-by portlets

In dashboard portlets that show dimension instances such as, for example, a pareto graph of open changes per workgroup, it is possible to show automatically the workgroups that have assigned the most changes.

Password encryption

Password encryption is enforced in prefs.inc, datasources and LDAP integration for security reasons.

Search box integrated in list

The search box is integrated in each list of items, making it easier to search and select items.

Meta Mart and metric maintenance enhancements

Several enhancements have been included to improve the maintenance of Meta Marts and metrics.

License registration

This new features allows on-line registration of the license.

Ability to design KPIs without target

This enhancement allows defining Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) without target. KPIs without target are not consolidated in the index of the domain (e.g. process, workgroup, SLA), but are available on the scorecards.

KPI Library available as templates

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) as available on www.kpilibrary.com are available as templates in Mirror42. This allows using a predefined set of KPIs for a large range of IT domains.

Furthermore numerous smaller enhancements have been implemented.
