Customizable Leads Dashboard
We’ve heard your feedback and are happy to announce that with the March release you will now be able to add any type of widget to your Leads Dashboard.
We have also updated the technology under the hood to support the addition of sections and ability to completely customize your dashboard to tell your marketing story.
In addition, the Leads Dashboard will now come pre-loaded with 2 configured leads widgets on it. These widgets can now be deleted from the dashboard if you prefer to add your own custom leads widgets.
If you ever need to access these widgets again, feel free to grab them from the Widget Library by searching for the ‘Leads’ tag.
Report Studio Enhancements
Another month, another set of Report Studio improvements.
Here’s what’s new for March.
Ability to Undo and Redo
You can now easily undo and redo the actions you take in the Report Studio by clicking on the Undo/Redo icons in the top-left area of the screen. We have also added new keyboard shortcuts which can be triggered by pressing Command+Z (Undo) and Command+Shift+Z (Redo). 
Calendar icon to indicate date range override on widgets
To maintain consistency with dashboard widgets, we have now added a calendar icon to data widgets in reports to indicate that there is a date override on the widget.
Report Studio access for Business Unit Admins
We have updated role permissions to enable Business Unit Admins to access the Report Studio.
You can enable this setting by navigating to the Roles section and ticking the ‘Report Studio Management’ check-box. 
Business Unit Admin access to reports in the Report Gallery follows the same logic as their access to dashboards and other parts of the platform.
-
They can view, clone, and export reports that don’t have a Business Unit assigned.
-
They can view, clone, export, and edit reports that are assigned to their Business Unit.
-
They can only delete reports that they created
By default, when a Business Unit Admin creates a new report, the report will automatically be assigned to their Business Unit. Users with access to multiple Business Units can also use this field to change the Business Unit assignment for a report:
Ability to customize multiple elements at once
Don’t you hate having to manually click and customize each element in your reports one by one? Of course, you do!
Well, those days are gone. You can now bulk update all the elements on a page at once.
Simply click and drag to highlight the elements on the canvas that you want to update and use the Styles panel to apply changes to everything that you selected. 
Here are some of the cool things you can do in bulk:
-
Drag all the elements to easily move them on the canvas
-
Change the background color of all the elements
-
Change the border style of the selected elements from a dashed line to a solid line
Pro Tip: Keep in mind that when multiple elements are selected, the settings in the Styles panel will only show options that are available across all selected elements. For example, if you select a data widget, dynamic logo, and textbox, the font styles won’t show up because only the textbox has font style options, and the data widget/dynamic logo doesn’t.
New keyboard shortcuts
We have updated our keyboard shortcuts to make it easier for you to use the new features we are adding.
Here’s the full list of the keyboard shortcuts and don’t forget that you access this list from inside the Report Studio by clicking on the ‘Shortcuts’ button. 
Enhanced Search Experience for TapClicks Libraries
We’ve expanded the search functionality in our libraries! This means you can now search for templates by typing in names to easily find a specific Widget / Section / Dashboard. We’ve also kept the existing filtering options so you can now use these search options with laser focus precision to find exactly what you’re looking for.
Smart Connector Groupings (Beta)
Have you ever created multiple Smart Connectors and wanted a way to group them together into a single Data Source? Now, you can!
Since this feature is currently in Beta, the first thing you will need to do is reach out to your Custom Success Manager to get it enabled.
Here’s how it works.
Create a Smart Connector as you typically would, and once your dashboard has been enabled to add child data levels, you’ll see a new section in your Smart Connector Definition screen called ‘Smart Connector Sub Levels’.
You can create more than one child data view off of the top-level Smart Connector you've defined. 
Click on the “(+)” button to create a new sub-level section on this Smart Connector.
The screen to define the new data view is nearly identical to the existing Smart Connector screen, with a few key differences.
Define the “Drilldown / View name” - this is what your data view will be called. This name should be singular and not plural - the system will automatically make it singular/plural as needed. 
When you load your sample file, if there are fields that have been defined on the original Smart Connector as part of the Unique fields and they are exactly the same, those will be automatically defined. You can choose other unique key values as well for this new file.
Make sure to select your “Inheritance” fields - this will allow the system to bring fields down from the top level, as long as they are text type fields.
Your mapping field will be automatically assumed based on the Parent Smart Connector definition - make sure that you have the mapping field available in your sub-level Smart Connectors as well, or the data will not be picked up.
Share your feedback
TapClicks is working on making ongoing enhancements to this feature - as you work with this new feature, we would love to hear your feedback! Feel free to share this with your Customer Success Manager.
