| |  |  |  | |  | | Nevron Gauge for SharePoint (WSS and MOSS) - Version History | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |  | | Version 2011.1 |
| | | | | | | - Parameters and drill down reports - this exciting new feature allows for the development of interactive dashboards and drill down reports. Parameters can be consumed from any expression, they can be passed as arguments to the newly added JumpToReport action. Parameters can also be directly integrated into any SharePoint page.
- SharePoint List and WebPartTable data sources connection - the Gauge Web Part has the ability to connect to SharePoint List and WebPartTable data sources that reside in a StaticSite (fixed site), CurrentSite (dynamic site) and CurrentWeb (dynamic web). The site resolution mode allows you to develop web parts templates that can be directly deployed to production environments without the need to refactor the data source connection.
- WebParts Config File - the new Web Parts Config File provides the ability to globally (per site-server) configure some user interface elements visibility and some aspects of the web parts behavior through a configuration file. This allows you to fine tune the web parts to perform better and more reliably in the context of your SharePoint environment.
- Gauges are now using deferred rendering - this allows for the instant showing of very complex SharePoint pages as the Nevron Gauge Web Part will defer the data aggregation and rendering tasks in separate AJAX requests to the server. This allows for faster data processing that fully utilizes your server capabilities, as separate AJAX requests can be handled by different threads of your server. It also helps the user to actually see what is currently being processed, opposed to the immediate rendering mode in which the SharePoint page gets served to the client after all web parts have aggregated the data and rendered the respective visual representation.
- Automatic Refresh - the Gauge Web Part can now be instructed to automatically refresh itself at the client side, at user specified intervals of time. This allows for the development of real time dashboards that automatically update themselves at the client side through AJAX, and eliminates the need for manual web page refresh.
- Web Part Designer - the Gauge designer now show the current user, site and web and other info about the context of which they are performing the web part editing.
- Image Fill Style - a new Image Fill Style has been added to all Fill Style editors. This feature allows you to display image based textures on all gauge elements that have an associated fill style.
- Connection to Custom Web Parts - provides the ability to connect the Gauge web part to other web parts that implement the IWebPartTable interface. This allows you to develop custom web parts that surface any type of data, that cannot be accessed by the currently available data source connections.
- Performance Improvements - the Gauge control document building and rendering has been completely revised. As a result you should see significant speed improvement.
- XML formatted texts - the XML formatted texts feature is extended to support additional XML tags that allows you to specify the text background and border.
- New Gauge Examples - several new Gauge examples have been included with the new version.
- Additional Improvements:
- You no longer need to be the site administrator to visually browse the sites, webs, lists and views.
- The Web Parts are now using only FIPS (stands for "U.S. Government Federal Information Processing Standards") compliant cryptography algorithms. This allows for the safe deployment of Nevron Web Parts to FIPS enabled SharePoint servers.
- The Web Parts are no longer using state files – resolved permission/security issues and improves the web parts behavior in farm environments.
- Connecting to Excel Services has been fixed.
- The SPLIT function from the formula engine has been added.

- Advanced Features
Advanced Pivot Aggregation - the pivot data aggregation capabilities embedded in Nevron Gauge for SharePoint are only comparable to the ones provided by leading reporting tools. However none of these solutions provides this level of flexibility and ease of configuration inside SharePoint nor the advanced data visualization of Nevron.
Image Filters - Nevron Gauge for SharePoint is the only gauge web part to provide Adobe Photoshop like image filter effects, which are applicable to all gauge elements - these include bevel, emboss, lighting filters etc. When it comes to shadows it is the only gauge for SharePoint, which has soft shadows (based on Gaussian and Radial blur image filters).
XML Formatted Texts - this feature is applicable to all elements which display text. It allows you to mix fonts, mix bold, italic underline formatting and many other advanced features like different fill styles, shadows, image filters etc. - all inside a single label, title etc. XML formatted texts use a format similar to HTML, but with many more advanced options.
Blazing Fast Gauge Designer - Nevron Gauge for SharePoint features an advanced designer, which is built with jQuery UI. The designer supports all major web browsers and does not require any plugins (like Silverlight or Flash). It does not use postbacks, MS ASP.NET controls or MS AJAX, which ensures that the client-server communication is brought to a minimum. The server-side UI processing is pure HTML and script rendering. The client-side is pure HTML, CSS and jQuery JavaScript.
Code Customization - the gauge web part allow for users with development experience to inject custom C# or VB.NET code, which is compiled and executed at runtime. The code injection feature helps you utilize the wide range of additional customization options, which are exposed by the Nevron Chart for .NET API.
