Imply 2.3 is one of our most feature packed releases and contains a brand new user interface, new features, improvements, and bug fixes. Read on to learn more about this release!
The first thing you’ll notice with the new release is the new home screen.
From the home you can access all the Imply apps, including Pivot and our new SQL interface. Watch this space for more apps – we have a lot of exciting new capabilities coming on our roadmap.
Our new SQL interface allows you to quickly write SQL queries using everyone’s favorite query language.
You can also click on the columns to expand schemas or include them in the SQL syntax.
Sharing and collaboration is a key feature we hope to improve with every new release. In 2.3, we’ve reworked Pivot’s home screen so you can now easily star your favorite data cubes and dashboards.
Due to popular demand, we’ve expanded Pivot’s security capabilities, and it is now possible to assign fine grained access permissions for viewing and modifying data cubes and dashboards.Never have other people mess up your beautifully arranged dashboard tiles again!
We have also made Pivot’s stateful URLs much shorter for easy sharing
though your favorite communication channels.
With the highly-requested grid visualization, you can now visualize a cross of two dimensions in a two dimensional grid.
We’ve improved Pivot’s dashboarding functionality.Most significantly you can now just drag to create a tile anywhere you want and then fill it with a visualization as you see fit.There are also a number of improvement to the filtering and a convenient button to bring you back to your dashboard after you expand a tile.
Make your data cubes and dashboards more distinct and recognizable by assigning them an individual theme.
Imply 2.3 includes Druid 0.10.1, which includes numerous performance enhancements including:

memcached across all of your Imply servers, greatly improving Pivot’s performance.
