    I think you are able to do this in Analyst. I needed to copy the Expression text out of the Column Properties in the Web Player data canvas, since its the only way to get to them on the WP. They are pretty gnarly. Unfortunately this is not possibl...

    Update the "Open from Library" dialog to aggregate open time and correct the problems with it.

    Initiate script (or action control click) through user-defined hotkey or keystroke

    I create and use dashboards with many action control buttons that trigger various scripts. The only way to use these dashboards involves a tremendous amount of mouse movement and clicking. It's slow, and frustrating, and strenuous on the index fin...

    seamlessly Zooming in/out of data - using 'layers' in general charts
