Megalytic Upgrade – May 2015

By Megalytic Staff - May 11, 2015

We are continuing to upgrade Megalytic to make the best analytics report writing and publishing platform even better. This month's improvements include Page Breaks, Dropbox (and Google Drive) integration, plus other new features to improve report formatting and image embedding.
New features include:
  • Page Breaks – Include a page break at any point in a report - details here.
  • Dropbox and Google Drive hosting of CSV Files – Use a hosting service for CSV files so your changes are automatically synchronized with Megalytic reports - details here.
  • Uploading Images Directly into Reports – You can now upload images from your computer to the Megalytic image library for use in your reports – details here.
  • Improved Cover Pages – Our two styles of cover pages have been merged into a single format to simplify the creation and management of cover pages - details here.

Page Breaks

To provide greater control over how Megalytic reports appear when converted to PDFs, we have added Page Breaks. Every widget now includes a check box control that you can select to place a page break after the widget.

Dropbox and Google Drive hosting of CSV Files

Customers have been asking for a way to synchronize Megalytic reports with CSV files so that changes to files get automatically reflected in Megalytic reports. We now support using Dropbox (and other services) URLs in the CSV widget, so that any changes you make to a local copy of a CSV stored in Dropbox will automatically be propagated to the Megalytic report CSV widget.

A common use case is a call report, for example, that is a CSV file containing data about inbound phone calls. Now, rather than uploading a new version of this CSV to Megalytic each month, you can simply edit a local copy that is synchronized with Dropbox. Point a CSV widget to the Dropbox URL and your changes will automatically appear in the Megalytic report. Works with Google Drive as well.

Uploading Images Directly into Reports

Before this release, images were embedded in cover pages and notes widgets by providing URLs. Now, you can upload images directly into Megalytic reports. To implement this, we have upgraded the Megalytic Image Library to manage all the images uploaded to your reports, including logos and embedded graphics.

Improved Cover Pages

Before this release, if you wanted to upload full page image as your cover page, you needed to carefully size the image to fill the page and then upload it. Now, you can upload a full cover page image just like any other image as part of the standard cover page creation process.
