10/03/2019
v10.1 marks the first major release since the release of NextGen (see 05/30/2019: v10.0 Enterprise Release Notes). Referring to the v10.0 release notes, you will see these features come directly from the roadmap notes.
The largest feature of this release is Alerts. Utilizing rules and schedules, you set the conditions to monitor on a chart and Alerts will notify users when those criteria have been met. This release also includes 6-new charts. All of these charts have been seen before in our legacy Flash-based application, but now they're here in our HTML version of iDashboards. A new rich-text editor will help improve dashboard text panels, and not just for formatted text, but for tables, links, and more. Another great improvement was the dashboard thumbnail when opening a dashboard. Other improvements include a chart scrollbar, update chart icons and more.
NOTE: Legacy alerts do not migrate into NextGen alerts. If you have a legacy Alerts server (idbalerts), it is advised to undeploy or stop the service.
