Performance enhancements

Faster loading of reports with multiple charts

If a report contains multiple charts that are hidden or shown depending on their context, the visible charts are loaded first to save loading time before showing the result. This significantly reduces the loading time of these reports.

For this improvement to take effect, you must open and save your reports again in Infor BI Application Studio 11.0 with the latest patch, and rebuild your application for Infor BI 12.0.

Parallel loading of reports on dashboards

On dashboards with multiple Application Studio reports, the widgets are now calculated and loaded in parallel. This greatly accelerates loading of dashboards.

For the parallel calculation to work, links, via global variables and global lists, between reports on the same dashboard have been disconnected. You must use report parameters and widget communication on dashboards to keep the values in sync across multiple widgets. We recommend that you use global lists only for Select Element actions.

Report rendering

The underlying JS libraries of the Infor BI Dashboards and Application Studio web components have been re-engineered for better performance of HTML rendering.
