Crystal Web v2.59

Below are the new features and fixed bugs available in the latest version of Crystal for Web, divided into Members and Admins.

For Members

🆕 New Time Filters in Conversations

In Conversations, Crystal is now able to understand the following additional Time Filters, for all the available languages (English, Italian, French, Spanish, German):

• "For 2023/2024"

• "From January to February 2023"

• "From Q2 to Q3 of 2023"

• "From the beginning of the year".

Additionally, in the Italian version only, Crystal can understand:

• "Per il primo bimestre", "Primo bimestre dell’anno in corso".

🆕 Persistence & Update of Dynamic Time Filters

When a Topic has Dynamic Time Filters applied to it, these filters remain applied to the Topic regardless of the actions performed on the Topic Card.

Moreover, as these filters are dynamic, they get updated over time based on the actual current date. For example:

• "today", "yesterday", "tomorrow"

• "this year", "last year", “last week”

• etc.

On Scheduled Topics

In the Topic Scheduling feature, when you receive a scheduled Topic via notification, you can see the Topic with the Dynamic Time Filters that were applied on it at the time of scheduling, and you will see them updated in time.

On Topics Saved in Data Stories

In the Data Storytelling feature, when you save a Topic in a Data Story, you will see the Topic with the Dynamic Time Filters that were applied on it at the time of saving, and you will see them updated in time.

Limitations

Dynamic Time Filters with the following patterns don't update properly when saved in a Data Story:

• Fixed Start Date + Open End Date:

  • "From [month] to today"

  • "From [month] to yesterday"

• Specific Open Date Ranges:

  • "From yesterday to today"

  • "Until today"

  • "From yesterday"

✔️ Table View in Expanded "List" Topic Card

Before - When you expanded a Topic Card List, the columns of the table were compressed.

Now - The columns of the table are decompressed so that you can see the whole table at a glance.

✔️ Line Chart Visualization

Before - In some cases, when requesting the visualization of a Topic with a Line Chart, the Topic was correctly returned but the line appeared broken instead of continuous.

Now - The issue has been resolved.

✔️ Speech Recognition of Italian Conjunction "e"

Before - When vocally asking for a question starting by the Italian conjunction "e" (to keep the context of the previous Topic), Crystal could not understand the question.

Now - The issue has been resolved.

For Admins

✔️ Alias Values Formatting

Before - In the Console's "Entity management" Section, when typing the Alias values, characters were automatically changed to lower-case after being inserted, even if typed in upper-case characters.

Now - You can write Aliases whichever way you want and the same formatting will be reflected in the Advisor as well.
