5.3 Scheduling When changing the name of an email server in MAPS, any Argos schedules that included the bursting task would not be updated with the new server name, causing emails to fail. AR-4197
5.3 Scheduling Scheduled reports would sometimes stop running in cases where there were test schedules or schedules that failed and thus had an empty "next run" date. AR-4081
5.3 Scheduling If a schedule failed to execute due to a timeout, any system variables used in the failure notification email would not populate with their values. AR-3899
5.3 User roles Resolved a permissions issue in Argos where users who had custom roles that included the Edit Schedule privilege were incorrectly able to modify report schedules when they did not have permission to "create/modify children" of the folder or DataBlock or to "modify" the report. AR-4409
5.2.1 DataBlocks In Argos 5.2, clicking the "Test" button in the DataBlock designer on a system set to 125% DPI resulted in an "Argument out of Range" error. AR-4515

5.2 Folders When pasting or importing a folder, the folder description was not retained. AR-4321
5.2 Notes The character sequence ":/" no longer converts to an emoticon when used in the Notes field. This resolves an issue where hyperlinks were breaking due to the ":/" string in "http://". AR-4345
5.2 OLAP When editing an OLAP cube, the text of some of the property descriptions in the General section was being truncated. AR-4243
5.2 Queries When adding tables in the visual designer, if a table name required quotes or bracket notation due to spaces or special characters in the name, the automatically-assigned alias for the table would omit the delimiter from the query, resulting in a syntax error when validating if the report query was later changed to free type. AR-4153
5.2 Reports When printing a dashboard, the icon for the Print button was missing. AR-4101
5.2 Reports When saving a file from within Argos using a filename that already exists in the specified location, attempting to X out of the prompt that asks whether you wish to overwrite the existing file resulted in the file being overwritten as though you had clicked "Yes". AR-4302
5.2 Reports Reports using multiple datasets were producing the error "Field [fieldname] does not exist" instead of letting the user know when no records were returned in cases where the master dataset did not have any fields. AR-2017
5.2 Reports When saving a report on a Windows 10 system, if the proposed filename already existed in the specified location, then the dialog asking whether you wish to overwrite the file was only displaying a small portion of the dialog, preventing you from selecting Yes or No. AR-4209
5.2 Reports Clicking the disk icon to save an Argos report when the report name included a forward slash or colon resulted in nothing happening, preventing the user from saving the report. To resolve this issue, invalid characters in the report name are now converted to underscores when saving. AR-4211
5.2 Stability In Argos 5.1, DataBlocks that used the Visual Designer for the report query and had a very large number of fields on any of the tabs were throwing a series of errors and exceptions relating to running out of system resources immediately upon opening the DataBlock for editing. AR-4376
5.2 User interface Entering large amounts of text into a report description would cause Argos to slow down significantly whenever that item was selected in the process tree. AR-4280
5.2 User interface When clicking on the description of a DataBlock, dashboard, or report to expand it, users who did not have permission to edit the object were unable to see its full description. The description dialog is now visible to all users, but only editable to users who have the appropriate permissions. AR-4193
5.2 User interface When exporting from Argos on a Windows 10 machine, the warning dialog that appears when attempting to overwrite an existing file was cut off, preventing users from clicking any buttons. AR-4391
5.2 User interface In the style browser for the banded report editor, folders did not have a + icon next to them to indicate when they contained other items. AR-4446
5.2 User interface When logging in to Argos on a Windows 10 machine, if a system message notification was present the dialog was being cut off, preventing the user from viewing the message or clicking the OK button. AR-4336
5.2 User interface When opening the Argos client on a Windows 10 system, the dialog notifying administrators of available updates was only displaying the upper left corner of the dialog. AR-4287
5.2 User interface When Windows is configured to use the "Windows Classic" theme, the Argos client will no longer use themed styling. This resolves several display issues that were occurring when theming was not enabled in Windows. AR-4248
5.2 Web Viewer DataBlock descriptions are once again displaying in the Web Viewer. AR-3212
5.2 Web Viewer Users who have only "View/List Children" and "Execute" permission for a dashboard were receiving the error "J0 Cannot read the property 'length' of undefined" when navigating to the DataBlock in the Web Viewer via a direct URL. AR-4374
5.1 Banded reports When using the SETCOLOR function in a banded report to alter the color of an object (text, shape, etc.) on a band, the color was being applied to that object on the following band, with the object in the first band receiving the color that should have been applied to the object in the last band. To resolve this issue, the banded report structure tree now includes an option to sort objects by execution order instead of alphabetically, and to move objects up and down into the desired order. AR-1768
5.1 Connections Renamed ADO connections to "data connections" throughout the product as part of the support for native database drivers, which can be used as an alternative to ADO connections for SQL Server and Oracle databases. AR-4196
5.1 Connections Renamed the "Edit ADO Options" dialog to "Query Properties" due to the addition of support for native SQL Server and Oracle drivers. The dialog now contains options specific to each database driver (ADO, MSSQL, and Oracle). AR-4212
5.1 Dashboards Updated the icons in the Dashboard Options toolbar that appears at the top of the dashboard in the Argos client to be consistent with the new Argos user interface. AR-4120
5.1 Dashboards When running a dashboard in the Argos client, keyboard focus now automatically goes to the first form object on the dashboard (or the form object with the lowest Tab Order property) so that users can begin entering parameters without needing to click into the dashboard first. AR-3792
5.1 Data Warehouse Added the DaysOfWeek, Frequency, and FrequencyAmount fields to the Schedule table in the Data Warehouse. AR-2651
5.1 User interface Updated the CSV report icon used in the explorer tree to make the text easier to read. AR-4070
5.1 User interface Dashboards with multiple tabs did not have any separation between the tabs, making it difficult to read the tab names. AR-4106
5.1 User interface Updated the Argos logo to the new red Argos leaf throughout the product. AR-4066
5.1 User interface System messages that display at the top of Argos upon login now have a colored border instead of a colored background to make it easier to read the messages and to see the red X button that closes the message bar. AR-4067
5.1 User interface Updated the icons on the Revision Manager dialog to reflect the new Argos look and feel. AR-4029
5.1 User interface When editing a sub query in the visual designer, increased the amount of space between the comparison operators on the WHERE tab so that they are easier to read. AR-4177
5.1 Banded reports The label for the Designed DPI dropdown at the bottom of the banded report editor was being truncated due to the dropdown overlapping the label. AR-4114
5.1 Banded reports Attempting to copy a group header band and then paste it into another group header or detail band was resulting in an access violation. AR-3772
5.1 Data Dictionary When editing the report query in the visual designer, the "Add Join" button would stay in the selected state after adding a table join when the Data Dictionary was enabled. AR-3678
5.1 Localization When switching languages in the Web Viewer, the Search button would expand to cover up part of the search bar if the word for "Search" in that language requires more space than the word "Search" does in English. AR-4125
5.1 Messages In Argos 5.0, any system messages that appeared at login were being truncated to 256 characters. AR-4129
5.1 OLAP Saved OLAP settings were not saving the sort order of the data within each column. AR-3602
5.1 OLAP Loading saved settings for an OLAP cube sometimes altered the order of the cube measures. AR-2904
5.1 Permissions Report viewers were able to type in a new name for a folder by double-clicking in the name or by pressing F2 when the folder was selected, even though they do not have permission to rename Argos objects and would receive an error upon clicking out of the edit box. Double-clicking on a folder or pressing F2 now does nothing if the user does not have the ability to rename it. AR-4025
5.1 Queries When adding schemas, tables, or columns in the visual designer, if a schema/table/column name required quotes or bracket notation due to spaces or special characters in the name, then the visual designer would omit the delimiter from the query, resulting in a syntax error. As part of the resolution for this issue, a new connection property has been added to the Edit Connection dialog in MAPS to control which character should be used as the delimiter for specific data connections. AR-3659
5.1 Queries Refreshing the table schema in the visual designer was removing any aliases defined for the table. AR-4198
5.1 Reports When editing the name of a report within the Edit Report dialog, the report name was incorrectly being limited to 64 characters. The Edit Report dialog now allows for report names up to 255 characters in length, which is the maximum for all Argos objects. AR-3696
5.1 Saved settings When a user created a saved dashboard setting that had the same name as a saved dashboard setting that was shared by another user, Argos was loading the shared setting instead of the user's own setting. AR-3697
5.1 Searching Switching between the Explorer and Shortcuts now collapses the Search bar if the advanced search dropdown was expanded. This resolves an issue where the main screen would sometimes not update correctly when the search bar was expanded. AR-4084
5.1 Stability After copying a DataBlock but before pasting it, attempting to copy and paste text in a different application resulted in an error due to Argos locking the clipboard. AR-4099
5.1 Stability Attempting to drag a shared shortcut into a folder under "My Shortcuts" or a private shortcut into a shared folder resulted in an access violation in the Argos client. AR-4077
5.1 User interface When right-clicking on a DataBlock and then right-clicking on a report (or vice versa) in the explorer tree, the items in the context menu would not display until the cursor was moved over each item. AR-4072
5.1 User interface When adding a sub query to the WHERE clause in the visual designer, the background of the dialog was white when it should have been gray. AR-4213
5.0 CDN Charting Bar and column charts in the Web Viewer were labeling the x axis sequentially instead of with the appropriate labels. AR-4103
5.0 CDN Reports When using the Web Viewer in Internet Explorer 11, the Reports dropdown at the top of the dashboard was not displaying the icons used to indicate the report type. AR-4113
5.0 CDN Web Viewer When using the Web Viewer in Internet Explorer, the list of DataBlocks displayed too far to the right, preventing users from accessing the Details and Share buttons on the right. AR-4112
5.0 Banded reports Added an option to justify text in RTF fields used in banded reports. Previously, text could only be aligned to the left or right, or centered within the RTF field. AR-1403
5.0 Banded reports In the banded report editor, the "create band" buttons now immediately insert a band of the specified type in the appropriate location, instead of requiring the user to click on the report to add the band. AR-3903
5.0 Localization When exporting text that includes extended ASCII characters from a multi-column list box in the Argos client, you now have the option to include a byte order mark in the output file. This will allow the data to display correctly in programs such as Microsoft Excel. When exporting data from a multi-column list box in the Web Viewer, the byte order mark is always included. AR-1922
5.0 Searching Moved the search feature in the Argos client from the Search tab into a search bar at the top of the screen. AR-3730
5.0 User interface Updated the "more information" links that appear in Argos when attempting to use a feature that your institution does not license so that the links point to the appropriate page on the new Evisions website. AR-3787
5.0 User interface In the Web Viewer, renamed the "Choose a Saved State" dialog to "Select a Saved Execution State" to match the corresponding dialog in the Argos client. AR-3638
5.0 User interface Added two checkboxes to the Tools -> Options dialog that allow users to disable animations and application styling within Argos. AR-4071
5.0 User interface The Argos client and Argos Web Viewer have been updated to have a more modern-looking user interface that is easy to navigate, with certain areas now scaling better on different screen sizes. Icons and styling have been updated throughout the application, along with many other usability improvements to the user interface. AR-3759
5.0 User interface Users who have custom user roles that include permissions from other user roles (i.e. a custom Report Viewer role that also has Edit Schedule permission) will no longer see unavailable actions that were previously grayed out for them. AR-3733
5.0 Validation When committing a DataBlock, Argos now checks for references to objects or variables that have been deleted, and allows the user to choose whether to remove the references or to ignore them. AR-3286
5.0 Charting Line- and point-based charts in the Web Viewer were using 0 as the minimum value for the y axis regardless of the specified minimum value. This resulted in some charts appearing significantly different in the Web Viewer than they did in the Argos client. These charts now set the minimum value of the y axis based on the domain range. The minimum y value is still 0 for area charts, in order to display the correct area. AR-3765
5.0 Charting Labels for gauge charts in the Web Viewer were overlapping each other and difficult to read because they displayed more decimal points in the Web Viewer than they did in the Argos client. The arcs of gauge charts in the Web Viewer are now slightly wider and the extra decimal places no longer appear. AR-3763
5.0 Dashboards In Argos 4.5.x, using the values of a multi-column list box that contained numeric data to control the "Enabled" property of a dashboard object would result in an error when more than one value was selected in the list box. AR-3626
5.0 Form design Attempting to copy and paste a multi-column list box or to edit its SQL when the "Auto Size Column" field was set to something other than the default of '0' was resulting in an access violation. AR-2132
5.0 Import/Export When exporting a DataBlock that had a colon (:) in its name, Argos would create an empty file with no extension. Argos now converts any invalid characters to an underscore when exporting. AR-3989
5.0 Import/Export When importing Argos objects, if an object other than a folder was selected to import into, the import would fail with the error "An exception has occurred; XmlArgosImporter::CreateExplorerNodes". The import will now proceed, and the object(s) will be imported into the parent folder of the selected object. AR-4042
5.0 Localization Added Spanish, French, and Arabic translations for several areas that were missing them due to changes in version 4.6. AR-3694
5.0 Revision Control Attempting to change the active revision of a report that had a period in its name, or to import a report that had a period in its name when revision control was enabled, was resulting in the error "Report 'Report Name' does not exist". AR-3709
5.0 Saved settings In the Web Viewer, saved dashboard settings that were shared by other users were not appearing in alphabetical order as they should have been. AR-3613
5.0 Saved states In the Web Viewer, the option to run a dashboard or report live instead of loading a saved execution state was still available to users even if the DataBlock Designer had disabled it in the Argos client. AR-3640
5.0 Scheduling When testing a schedule, the schedule was running as the current user rather than as the Run As user if one was specified for the schedule. AR-4051
5.0 Scheduling Some schedules that used the bursting task were failing after the upgrade to Argos 4.6. AR-3906
5.0 Searching When searching within the Argos client, objects with "Web View" set to "No" were not being included in the search results. AR-3630
5.0 Stability In the banded report editor, deleting the root element in the object tree (the "Report" object) resulted in an access violation. AR-3866
5.0 Stability In the banded report editor, the root element in the object tree (the "Report" object) can no longer be renamed. Renaming the "Report" object had no effect on the report output and would cause an access violation when adding bands to the report. AR-3901
5.0 User interface In the extract report editor, the Move Up/Down and Add icons were showing the wrong images when they were disabled. AR-3704
5.0 User interface The Allow and Deny checkboxes in the Security dialog were misaligned on systems with the text size set to 125%. AR-3916
4.6 Charting Removed the "Show/hide value labels" toggle from gauge charts in the Web Viewer since gauge charts do not have value labels. AR-3191
4.6 Dashboards When creating a saved dashboard setting in the Argos client, you can now elect to share it with other users. Shared dashboard settings are available to anyone who runs that dashboard, and appear underneath the user's own saved dashboard settings (if any) in both the Argos client and the Web Viewer. AR-724
4.6 Dashboards Added a selection to the Dashboard Options menu that allows you to return your saved Dashboard settings to their default order if you have customized the list at any point. AR-3540

4.6 OLAP When creating a saved OLAP setting in the Argos client, you can now elect to share it with other users. Shared OLAP settings are available to anyone who runs that OLAP cube, and appear in the OLAP cube context menu underneath the user's own saved OLAP settings (if any). AR-669
4.6 Web Viewer Removed the "Powered by Evisions" logo at the bottom of the Explorer Tree in order to free up more screen real estate on smaller screens. AR-3622
4.6 Web Viewer Removed the "Refresh" button from the dashboard toolbar in the Web Viewer, since it provided no additional functionality beyond that of the browser's refresh button. AR-3467
4.6 Web Viewer Added hover and "alt" text to the Create Shortcut button in the Web Viewer. AR-3295
4.6 Web Viewer Added support for loading saved OLAP settings in the Web Viewer. As with saved dashboard settings, new saved OLAP settings must be created in the Argos client. AR-1125
4.6 Web Viewer The Web Viewer now supports loading saved execution states that were created by a scheduled report or dashboard. This feature was previously only available in the Argos client. If a saved execution state exists, the user will see a dialog box prompting them to choose a saved execution state to run or to choose to run the report or dashboard live. AR-1110
4.6 API When configuring the API for a schedule, the HTML generated by the Sample POST button did not include the tag for the form's Submit button. AR-815
4.6 Banded reports When editing a banded report, adding a band from the Library of Objects and then adding a new object to that band resulted in the error "An exception has occurred Parent not found". AR-3438
4.6 Banded reports When editing a banded report, right-clicking on a selected object while holding down the Shift key caused an access violation. AR-1709
4.6 Banded reports When the option to "Print header/footer even if dataset is empty" was checked, the header and footer were not printing if the page contained only an empty sub-detail band. AR-1194
4.6 Banded reports In the banded report wizard in Argos 4.5.x, selecting a template from the Library of Objects and then choosing a report type resulted in an access violation. AR-3373
4.6 Banded reports Pie charts in banded reports were displaying a gray background behind the chart in the PDF output. AR-3139
4.6 CSV reports When building an expression for a CSV report, naming the "ArgosData" dataset in the field name used in an "IF()" expression would cause the Test function to result in an error even though the expression was valid. AR-3248
4.6 Charting When an OLAP cube in the Web Viewer was configured to have no row dimensions and no totals, the columns were truncated and displayed no data. AR-3384
4.6 Charting When viewing a chart in the Web Viewer in fullscreen mode, the icons in the upper right of the chart overlapped the legend, making them difficult to see. AR-3326
4.6 Charting When viewing a chart in the Web Viewer in fullscreen mode, the legend overlaps the chart icons, making them difficult to see. AR-2344
4.6 Dashboards In Argos 4.5.x, the delete key was not working when editing the text of a static label. AR-3532
4.6 Dashboards In the Web Viewer, scroll boxes were allocating blank space for hidden objects located at the end of the scroll box. This issue did not occur in the Argos client. AR-3309
4.6 Extract reports The Prefix and Postfix fields for an extract report were not being included in the output when the report type was set to XML. AR-1771
4.6 LoO When adding items to the shared Library of Objects from the banded report editor, the newly saved objects did not have any user associated with them as their owner. This meant that only administrators could delete objects from the shared library, since the person who created it was not listed as the owner, who would have the ability to delete it. AR-1899
4.6 Localization In the Arabic version of the Web Viewer, the text for the currently-selected language said "English" instead of "Arabic". AR-3623
4.6 Localization Dates associated with Argos objects (such as DataBlock creation and last-modified dates) were appearing off by one hour in cases where the date had a different Daylight Savings Time (DST) timezone than the user's local DST timezone. AR-3554
4.6 OLAP Attempting to load a saved OLAP setting when the SQL query for the cube changed after the saved setting was created was resulting in a "Catastrophic Error has occurred" message followed by an "Abnormal Program Termination." AR-3562
4.6 OLAP In Argos 4.5.x, dashboards that had multiple OLAP cubes executing at the same time sometimes resulted in the error "Cannot read property 'Grid' of undefined". AR-3476
4.6 OLAP In the Web Viewer, expanding an OLAP cube that extends below the initially-visible portion of the window to fullscreen and then closing the fullscreen view resulted in the cube being moved to a higher position on the dashboard, potentially obscuring other objects. AR-3292
4.6 OLAP When an OLAP cube on a dashboard was configured to execute when the user presses a button, if the user pressed the button multiple times Argos would spawn multiple ArgosOLAPCS.exe processes on the server, potentially impacting performance. If a user attempts to execute a cube multiple times, Argos will now close the current OLAP cube before opening the new one. AR-2592
4.6 Performance Attempting to export very large multi-column list boxes (~30k or more records) to a CSV file from the Web Viewer hung the browser. AR-2279
4.6 Queries When a dashboard object contained a query referencing an Argos object which had multiple columns (such as a multi-column list box) but did not identify the specific column to select, the query did not return any results in the Web Viewer. The query now assumes the reference is to the first column in the object, matching the behavior in the Argos client. AR-2613
4.6 Queries The Argos SQL parser was unable to parse comparisons to Argos variables that have multiple values when the variable was embedded within a function call, type cast, or other operation that requires parentheses. This was preventing multi-select variables from being compared with constant values using a SQL Server connection, since SQL Server requires the variable in this type of comparison to be embedded within a cast() function. AR-3607
4.6 Scheduling Users who had permission to edit a schedule but not to create a new schedule were unable to use the Test button to test their changes. The Test button now works regardless of whether or not the user has the ability to create new schedules. AR-800
4.6 Scheduling If the user who was set as the "Run As" user for a schedule changed their password, the password would not update in the schedule, causing it to fail with the message "invalid username/password; logon denied". AR-3482
4.6 Scheduling Schedules that had an LDAP user as the "Run As" user would fail after that user changed their password, unless the user was logged in to Argos at the time the schedule was running. AR-3658
4.6 Security Changes made to the Web Viewer settings for the Root folder were not taking effect until the next service restart. This caused confusion since re-opening the dialog before the service was restarted made it appear that the change had not been saved. AR-3443
4.6 Shortcuts When using the Web Viewer with Internet Explorer or Firefox, keyboard shortcuts would execute when attempting to enter data into dropdown boxes that had "free type" enabled. AR-3239
4.6 System variables The value of the $DataBlock.ActiveForm system variable was updating based on the order that the currently-active form appeared in the list of forms, rather than on the name of the form. This caused the variable to display incorrect values when a report used the Tab feature and there were forms that were not being used as tabs listed above forms that were set to be tabs. AR-3461
4.6 System variables In the Web Viewer, the "$Report" system variables were not refreshing their values when the report selected in the dropdown changed. AR-3250
4.6 User interface When using the Web Viewer in Internet Explorer, the scrollbar for the folder tree could not be dragged with the mouse. AR-3407
4.6 Web Viewer Deleting a user's home folder previously resulted in the error "Folder [foldername] does not exist" when that user logged in to the Web Viewer. It now causes their home folder to reset to the default instead of displaying an error. AR-3372
4.6 Web Viewer In Argos 4.5.x, clicking on the Home button in the Web Viewer while viewing a dashboard located in your User Home would not close the dashboard, requiring you to refresh the page to return to your home folder. Additionally, if your User Home is set to something other than "Root", clicking the Home button from a dashboard located in a subfolder of your User Home resulted in an error. AR-3293
4.6 Web Viewer When a manual Argos variable of type "integer" used the OnClick property to set a '0' value, entering '0' into the Value field with the keyboard caused Argos to store the value as a string rather than as an integer. This resulted in the Web Viewer interpreting these '0' values as "true" rather than "false"/"null". AR-3234
4.6 Web Viewer When a multi-column list box was configured to use a column format that was specified to a large number of decimal places, the Web Viewer would display unnecessary formatting marks before shorter numbers instead of only applying formatting to as many decimal places as the number actually contained. AR-2110
4.6 Web Viewer DataBlocks containing invalid variable references in the execution order list did not load in the Web Viewer, displaying the error "Could not locate object [objectname] while loading DataBlock execution order". The invalid variable references were caused by deleting a variable using Argos versions 4.3 - 4.4.1. These versions did not remove deleted variables from the execution order list. These DataBlocks now run without error in the Web Viewer the same as they do in the Argos client. AR-2554
4.6 Web Viewer In the Web Viewer, if the name of a report was long enough to fill all of the space allocated for the Reports dropdown, the Saved Dashboard Settings dropdown, Reports dropdown, and Run button would disappear from the screen. AR-3465
4.5.2 OLAP In Argos 4.5.x, when exporting an OLAP cube with more than four dimensions in a column or row to Excel, some cells were being merged with previous columns/rows and their data was not included in the output. AR-3382
4.5.2 Tablets When accessing the Web Viewer on a Surface Pro, users with a mouse were unable to select items from a list box or multi-column list box using the mouse. AR-3193
4.5.1 Banded reports In Argos 4.5.0, images set to "Keep Aspect Ratio" or "Full Stretch" that also had "Autosize report element to fit picture" checked in a banded report would sometimes cause Argos to throw the error "The handle is invalid" when attempting to print or save the report. This error would reoccur whenever attempting to save any banded report, forcing the user to re-launch Argos to resolve it. AR-3416
4.5.1 Banded reports In Argos 4.5.0, images set to "Keep Aspect Ratio" or "Full Stretch" in a banded report were being truncated instead of using the specified resizing method. AR-3394
4.5.1 Banded reports Reverted the 4.5.0 fix for AR-2411: In a banded report, functions do not execute if they are contained within a band of height 0.0 and do not appear on the report. The fix for this issue caused problems with image resizing on banded reports (AR-3394, AR-3416) which have been resolved in this release. AR-3435
4.5.1 OLAP In Argos 4.5.0, OLAP cubes in the Web Viewer that use a time value as a dimension treated datetime values within three hours of midnight as though they occurred on the following day. AR-3378
4.5.1 Stability After upgrading to Argos 4.5.0, if the Argos database contained old DataBlocks that did not have a revision record, attempting to log in to Argos after the upgrade resulted in an access violation. AR-3375
4.5 Banded reports Added a confirmation dialog when deleting a dataset from the banded report editor. AR-2030
4.5 Banded reports In the banded report editor, the object selection dropdown has been replaced with a collapsible pane on the left side of the editor. The new pane lists objects in a tree format, letting you quickly see the object type and any parent-child relationships between objects. AR-3057
4.5 Extract reports When creating a delimited extract report, there is now a button next to the Delimiter field that allows you to insert a tab character without needing to copy one from outside of Argos. AR-2014
4.5 Localization Added translations for the labels in OLAP cubes so they display correctly in Spanish, French, and Arabic. AR-2749
4.5 OLAP Saved OLAP settings are now listed in alphabetical order instead of by creation date. AR-3147
4.5 OLAP You can now export OLAP cubes to an .xlsx file without having Microsoft Excel installed. AR-2926
4.5 Searching Replaced the basic Find feature in the Argos Windows client with a full-fledged Search tab that includes the ability to filter results by type, date created/modified/last run, author, and ADO connection. AR-2936
4.5 System variables Added a new Argos system variable, $Server.SystemName, which represents the name of the MAPS installation as specified on the Universal Launcher screen of the MAPS Configuration. AR-1753
4.5 System variables Added two new Argos system variables for the DataBlock and report GUIDs, which are unique identifiers for each DataBlock or report. AR-2150
4.5 User interface When editing the description of a DataBlock, you can now use the right-click menu to cut/copy/paste/delete text. AR-3042
4.5 User interface Added graphical icons for the various options in the right-click menu of the Tables pane in the Visual Query Designer, and removed the "View Alphabetically" option (which did nothing because the list of tables is already sorted alphabetically). AR-2097
4.5 User interface Added an informative tooltip for the "Private report" icon in the Web Viewer. AR-1295
4.5 User interface Saved Settings are now called Saved Dashboard Settings, and Saved States are now called Saved Execution States. This change was made to avoid confusion when talking about different kinds of saved information. AR-2889
4.5 Web Viewer Added the ability to export OLAP cubes to an Excel file from the Web Viewer. You do not need to have Microsoft Excel installed to use this feature. AR-1154
4.5 API When MAPS is configured to automatically elevate HTTP requests to HTTPS and the MAPS administrator has specified an address that includes the "https://" prefix, the sample report API link for HTTPS includes the "https://" prefix twice. AR-3255
4.5 Banded reports When editing a text or database text field in the Banded Report editor, if the background color of the field had been set using the Banded Report wizard (and not the field editor) then the editor changes the background color to transparent. AR-3009
4.5 Banded reports In a banded report, functions do not execute if they are contained within a band of height 0.0 and do not appear on the report. AR-2411
4.5 Banded reports The Exit icon that closes the design view in the banded report editor is disabled when the report is opened in read-only mode. AR-1142
4.5 Charting In the Web Viewer, when a dashboard has area charts on two different forms, and the first chart has an On Click event that activates the second form, the chart labels for the first chart are visible on the second chart. AR-3032
4.5 Charting Fullscreen charts in the Web Viewer do not render correctly in Mozilla Firefox. AR-2614
4.5 Charting Labels for OLAP charts in the Web Viewer always round to the nearest whole number regardless of the precision specified. AR-2607

4.5 Dashboards In the Web Viewer, saved dashboard settings do not load for dashboard objects that allow multiple entries to be selected if one of the columns in the object is a date. AR-3171
4.5 Dashboards When selecting multiple dashboard objects and editing a shared property using the Options button, the objects are renamed to "(no name)". In some cases, this issue may have also appeared when copying and pasting multiple objects at the same time. AR-3065
4.5 Dashboards When editing an existing query used to populate the values of a dropdown control, if you modify aliases used in the query such that the name of the specified "display" field changes, you are able to click Finish without selecting a new "display" field. AR-3044
4.5 Dashboards On Android tablets, selecting a button on a dashboard in the Web Viewer sometimes selects the button twice. AR-2940
4.5 Dashboards When the "visible" property of an image or label is populated by a SQL variable, a '0' value is treated as "true" (visible) by the Argos Windows client, when it should be treated as "false". AR-2856
4.5 Dashboards When a dropdown control that is populated by a SQL query does not specify which column to display, the Web Viewer does not render the dropdown. AR-2855
4.5 Dashboards When editing a dashboard, copying a chart and pasting it with the first chart still selected results in an invisible chart overlapping the first chart. AR-2759
4.5 Dashboards When changing the font of an edit box, the "Edit Font" dialog does not properly select the current font size, resulting in the font size being changed to the first size in the list when changing the font. AR-2587
4.5 Dashboards In the Windows client, dashboard buttons render using the default font (or the font of the button's parent object) regardless of what font is specified. AR-2151
4.5 Dashboards Attempting to create a new dashboard when the default dashboard does not have any objects on its form results in an error. AR-519
4.5 Data Dictionary When adding a join to the Data Dictionary, the Contribute button and Contribution/Suggestion options are grayed out until you make a change to the join options. AR-1857
4.5 Help Pressing F1 to launch Help from the Edit ADO Properties dialog does not do anything. AR-2400
4.5 Help Pressing F1 to launch Help from the Properties tab of the Form Design window causes multiple browser windows to open, and may freeze the computer. AR-2122
4.5 Localization Text that contains characters with accent marks does not sort correctly in multi-column list boxes. AR-2902
4.5 OLAP OLAP cube queries that contain a WITH clause validate but do not display any measures or dimensions. AR-3218
4.5 OLAP When an OLAP cube is set to have the Total by Columns fixed in place on the screen, they still scroll in the Web Viewer. AR-3054
4.5 Queries SQL queries result in an error when a comparison operation places a variable on a new line following the "=" sign instead of including the variable on the same line. AR-2634
4.5 Queries When validating a query that contains date objects, changing the default date in the sample data causes the validation to fail. Additionally, some queries that contain syntax errors may validate when changing the default date, even though they should fail. AR-1773
4.5 Reports When overriding the report query's sort order, queries that use Oracle-style (+) joins do not parse correctly. AR-3149
4.5 Reports When applying additional filters or overriding the report query's sort order, any fields listed after the appearance of an asterisk in the SELECT statement (e.g., used in an expression for multiplication) do not show up in the list of fields to filter or sort by. AR-3136
4.5 Reports Reports run in the Web Viewer only return the first value entered into a memo or edit box that is configured to allow multiple entries. AR-3019
4.5 Scheduling When configuring the dashboard parameters for a scheduled report, OLAP cubes should be disabled but are executing on forms other than the main form. AR-1677
4.5 Scheduling Argos throws an exception with message "You must be in ShowCheckbox mode to set this date" when attempting to set a schedule to run at exactly 12:00:00 AM, if it has previously been set to run at that same time and was later changed to a different time. AR-982
4.5 Shortcuts Shortcuts located within nested folders have an invalid folder path in the Web Viewer. AR-3129
4.5 Shortcuts Attempting to create a shortcut to a report via the Web Viewer results in the error: "DataBlock (name) does not exist." AR-3119
4.5 Shortcuts In the Web Viewer, clicking the Locate button for a shortcut takes you to the folder that contains the DataBlock instead of opening the dashboard for that DataBlock. AR-2869
4.5 Shortcuts Opening a hyperlink to a shortcut in the Web Viewer results in the message, "Error Code: J0 - Cannot read property 'getName' of null". AR-2842
4.5 User interface Disabled the "Retain complete revision history" checkbox when copying and pasting a schedule, because schedules do not have a revision history. AR-1413
4.5 Web Viewer When selecting an ADO connection in the Web Viewer, connections that are not part of a connection pool are sometimes incorrectly indented when they appear below a connection pool. AR-2866
4.5 Web Viewer In the Web Viewer, clicking on an item in the Recent tab takes you to the folder that contains the DataBlock instead of opening the dashboard for that DataBlock. AR-2863
4.5 Web Viewer Attempting to open a DataBlock that has a period in its name in the Web Viewer results in an error. AR-2817
4.4.1 Extract reports Added an option to the XML report settings to support including a space before the closing / in auto-closing tags. Renamed the "Compact tag notation" option to "Use auto-closing tags when possible". AR-2798

4.4 OLAP In the Web Viewer, OLAP cube dimensions that have filtered and invisible values are now colored red and blue, respectively, to match the colors used in the Argos client. Dimensions with both filtered and invisible values have a red background. AR-2584
4.4 OLAP Added support for additional datasets in OLAP cubes in the Web Viewer. This feature was previously only supported in the Argos client. AR-2541
4.4 Queries You can now use aliases when adding additional filters while designing a report. Selecting the alias copies the original field(s) that define the alias into the query filter, allowing it to run without errors. AR-1372
4.4 Security Moved the additional filters section of a report query and its associated closing parenthesis to new lines in order to prevent Report Writers from commenting out the closing parenthesis and injecting additional SQL statements. AR-2700
4.4 Shortcuts Clarified the error message that appears in the Web Viewer when clicking a shortcut pointing to an item that no longer exists when the deletion date is unknown. AR-2809
4.4 Stability Made various enhancements to Argos to improve multi-threading stability and future scalability. AR-1221
4.4 Web Viewer Added a version number to the Web Viewer, which is separate from the Argos mapplet version number. AR-2727
4.4 Web Viewer The Argos Web Viewer and MAPS eLauncher are now hosted on Evisions' servers. This Content Delivery Network (CDN) allows us to deploy updates without any effort required on your part. The Argos mapplet and MAPS contain local copies of the files to ensure continuous access in the event of a network outage. MAPS administrators can also specify whether MAPS should use the CDN or the local version. AR-1016
4.4 Authentication If MAPS is configured to pass invalid credentials to the database, Argos prompts users to enter the correct credentials. In the Web Viewer, entering the correct credentials allows the user to run the dashboard, but it still attempts to use the invalid credentials when running a report, resulting in an error. AR-1767
4.4 Banded reports Using the GETVARIABLE function to display a varchar data type on a banded report results in the error "Could not convert variant of type (Unicode String) into type (Double)." AR-2699
4.4 Banded reports In Argos 4.3.x, the Round function in the banded report editor rounds down when the digit after the rounding digit is '5' and there are no subsequent digits. AR-2740
