October 17 Maintenance Release

Office 2007 Deprecation

On October 10, 2017, we ended support for Microsoft Office 2007. The deprecation of support for Office 2007 impacts the following areas:

• Excel exports no longer open in Excel 2007

• Offline Planning is no longer supported in Excel 2007

• Excel Query Add-in is no longer supported in Excel 2007

• SpotlightXL Add-in is no longer supported in Excel 2007

In all the conditions above the required action is to upgrade to a supported version of Office (2010, 2013, or 2016).

Documents generated from Financial Package Publisher (FPP) as well as Excel exports may continue to open in Office 2007, however, issues that are specific to Office 2007 will not be addressed.

Keyboard Short-Cut to Expand and Collapse Dimension Panels in Dynamic Reports

We’ve created a keyboard short-cut (CTRL+K), which allows you to expand or collapse the dimension panels in Dynamic Reports. A tooltip has been added as well.

Report Collection Limitation

The generated results for a Report Collection must not exceed 100. If you need to create Report Collections that generate more than 100 reports, create multiple Report Collections. You can then schedule these Report Collections to run concurrently via a Cloud Schedule process.

Known application issues we are working to resolve, as well as any resolved issues for this release, can be found in the Host Analytics Support Portal, located at hostanalyticsinc.zendesk.com/home.
