Dashboard Level/Chart Level Limitations/Known Issues

1. Limitations of Using Scrollbar at Chart Level

Overview

The current implementation of the scrollbar at the chart level introduces several UI and behavior limitations. These limitations primarily affect the rendering and positioning of chart components such as the title, axes, and legend when scrolling is enabled.

The following points outline the known constraints in the current version (Release 4.2).

1.1 Transparent Title and Subtitle

When the chart-level scrollbar is enabled, the title and subtitle components are rendered with a transparent background.

Impact
  1. The title and subtitle may overlap with chart content during scrolling.
  2. Background styling for these components is not supported in the current implementation.

 

1.2 Transparent Axes (X and Y Axis)

The X-axis and Y-axis are currently rendered as transparent layers when the scrollbar is enabled.

Impact
  1. Axis areas may visually blend with the chart plot area.
  2. Axis labels and ticks may overlap with underlying chart elements.
  3. Axis components may also become scrollable depending on the chart configuration.

Notes
  1. Axis behavior during scrolling may vary depending on the chart layout and configuration.

 

1.3 Legend Scrolling Behavior

When a scrollbar is applied at the chart level, the legend participates in the scrolling behavior.

Impact
  1. The legend will move along with the chart content while scrolling.
  2. The legend position may not remain fixed relative to the chart container.
  3. In some cases, the legend alignment or placement may appear incorrect when the scrollbar is enabled.

Notes
  1. This limitation affects charts where the legend is positioned outside or aligned relative to the chart container.

1.4 Column Spacing in the categories on the chart

When a scrollbar is applied at the chart level, the equal spacing as consumed by all the columns of a single category is added between two adjacent distinct categories.

Impact
  1. The data points for different categories are displayed separated by the additional space, not needed for the user.
  2. Chart width internally is increased and All categories thus need additional scrolling to display on the chart.

Summary

Enabling the scrollbar at the chart level currently affects multiple chart UI components. The main limitations include:
  1. Transparent title and subtitle rendering.
  2. Transparent and potentially scrollable axes.
  3. Legend scrolling along with chart content and possible misalignment.
  4. Additional spacing between ascendant category data points.

These behaviors are known limitations and may be improved in future releases.

 


2.Button Chart Navigation Limitations

Navigation from Button Charts to pages with special characters in the page name may not be supported in some scenarios.

Impact
  1. Navigation may fail for page names containing special characters such as:
  1. &
  2. %
  1. Navigation issues may also occur when the page name contains the keyword:
    • rspgnm

Notes
  1. ​Avoid using special characters in page names intended for Button Chart navigation.
  2. Use simple alphanumeric page names wherever possible.

 

3. Google Map Chart Migration Requirement from Release 4.2 Onwards

 

Overview

From Release 4.2 onwards, existing Google Map Charts created using older implementations may not function as expected.

To use the latest supported implementation, the existing Google Map Chart must be removed and added again.

Impact
  1. ​Existing map charts may not render properly after upgrade.
  2. Previously configured map behaviors may not work as expected until reconfigured.

Notes
  1. ​Remove the old Google Map Chart from the dashboard/page.
  2. Add a new Google Map Chart.

 

4. Map Chart Unavailable in Chart Picker Pane

Map charts will not be displayed in the chart picker pane while configuring the mobile canvas or mobile view.

Impact

  • Users cannot add or configure new map charts for mobile dashboards.
  • Existing desktop map charts cannot be newly configured for mobile layouts.

 

5. Existing Map Charts on Mobile Canvas Will Not Be Displayed

Previously configured map charts that already exist on the mobile canvas will not render in the mobile application.

Impact

  • Existing mobile dashboards containing map charts will show blank or unsupported content areas.
  • Users need to replace map charts with other supported chart types for mobile compatibility.


6. Update Calculated Column expression with pd.datetime()

Update calculated column expressions using deprecated pd.datetime(yyyy, mm, dd) format to supported expressions such as datetime(yyyy, mm, dd) or pd.Timestamp().

  • pd.datetime is deprecated and may cause compatibility issues in newer pandas versions.


7. Cannot Aggregate Some Aggregated Results Correctly

A chart may show different values unexpectedly when:

  • Adding another dimension
  • Using tooltip fields


8. Handle expressions in Calculated column with 0 values in Denominator

  • Currently no such error is raised at user level wherein division is done with values/columns having 0 values in denominator. 
  • As a user, validate data and handle expression accordingly.


9. Need adjusting widgets - Optimized space utilization for plot area in charts (On Release 4.2 Upgrade)

  •      Extra unwanted spacing is removed from Plot area allowing maximum space for main plotted visual.
  •      In some cases, you may need to/wish to readjust the charts on the pages for better visual appearances.


10. Google Map Plotted Data Points:

  1. Data Points may not display fitted to layout in the chart layout view
