The latest version of Report Builder (v 1.3.2) introduces the use of Data Store and the ability to link CKAN CSV data directly. It also includes some enhancements and bug fixes.

Data Store

As part of your subscription we have now introduced a set of useful publicly available UK data that you can use in your own dashboards. The data includes Mid-year population estimates; Index of Multiple Deprivation 2015; Jobseekers Allowance Claimants; Crime Statistics; Educational attainment figures. We will continue to update these statistics as updates are released. We also plan to add much more.  If you have data you would like to see made available please let us know.  The data is predominantly available at LSOA and Ward level.

The Data store is accessed via the Data Manager dialog (see below)

Adding Data from CKAN

Report Builder now introduces the ability to link CSV data held in CKAN open-source data portals directly to reports.  See the help for more details on how to do this.

Use of Google Fonts

Users can now choose a font for their report from Google Fonts. This setting is only applicable to text widgets.
