Conditional Formatting: Let Your Data Tell the Story
Data only matters when it is clear. With Conditional Formatting, you can now apply color logic directly to charts and dashboards, making trends and outliers instantly visible.
Key Benefits:
• Flexible rule-based coloring: Apply logic-based colors for series, categories, or labels such as >=100, <AmountField, or =’SalesPersonName’.
• No code needed: Match visuals with business logic directly in the dashboard.
• Works across chart types: Ensure consistent visual design and user experience.
This gives analysts and product managers the power to highlight what matters most. Show growth in green, risk in red, and create dashboards that tell a story at a glance. Developers can now bring logic-driven design into every visualization without adding complexity.
Redis Cache Provider: Enterprise Speed and Scale
For organizations managing large analytics workloads, speed is non-negotiable. The new Redis Cache Provider introduces distributed in-memory caching, replacing SQLite for enterprise use, which helps teams deliver faster and more consistent performance.
Why Redis:
• Lightning-fast query response with in-memory caching.
• Horizontal scalability for distributed workloads.
• Configurable retry logic, expiration policies, and secure connections.
Easy Integration via .NET Fluent API:
.AddRedisCache(options =>
{
options.ConnectionString = “your-redis-connection-string”;
options.CacheExpiration = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30);
options.RetryDelayMs = 200;
})
NuGet Package: Reveal.Sdk.Caching.Redis
Redis Cache Provider ensures stability and responsiveness for multi-tenant SaaS platforms and real-time reporting systems, keeping analytics running smoothly even under heavy load.
