Product Releases
October 10, 2024

As Kurve for TRIRIGA continues to evolve, we are excited to bring you the latest updates in version 1.27. This release introduces two features designed to streamline your reporting experience and ensure you’re informed when dealing with large data sets. Although lighter in nature, these improvements aim to provide powerful functionality and usability enhancements for Kurve users. Let’s dive into the highlights of this release and how they can benefit your day-to-day operations.

1. Save Graphs and Reports with a Simple Shortcut (CTRL-S / Command-S)

In Kurve v1.1.27, a new feature has been introduced that many of our users have requested: the ability to quickly save graphs and reports with the familiar keyboard shortcuts CTRL-S (for Windows) and Command-S (for Mac).

We understand how important efficiency is when working with data, and this new functionality is a direct response to that need. Instead of manually having to click the ‘Save Changes’ button, now you can quickly save your reports or graphs with just a keystroke. This feature helps you stay in the flow of your work without any unnecessary interruptions, reducing the time it takes to finalize your reports.

Keyboard shortcut Command + S saves without needing to manually press a button.

Why Saving with a Keyboard Shortcut Matters

For data analysts and decision-makers who handle reports regularly, saving time is essential. The addition of this shortcut helps boost productivity by reducing friction. Whether you’re making final touches to a visual report or adjusting parameters to refine your data analysis, this small but meaningful update will make your workflow smoother.

This is especially beneficial for users managing multiple reports and data sets daily, allowing them to make updates and saves with minimal effort. It's the kind of feature that blends seamlessly into your routine but has a lasting impact on efficiency.

2. Data Load Limit Warning: Managing Large Data Sets Efficiently

Another significant addition in Kurve v1.27 is the Data Load Limit Warning. As businesses grow and the amount of data expands, ensuring performance and efficiency when pulling reports becomes increasingly critical. Kurve's new warning system helps users manage large data sets effectively by notifying them when they are about to exceed Kurve’s maximum load limit of 500,000 records.

If a user attempts to load more than 500,000 records, Kurve will issue a warning that reads:

"We found [X] records! Here are some things to consider before continuing: ⬢ Kurve has a maximum load limit, continuing will only load 500,000 records. ⬢ Loading a large amount of records will take some time. ⬢ We recommend filtering to reduce the load."

Users can then decide to either continue with the request or cancel and apply filters to reduce the data set size.

The data load limit warning in action! A user can decide if they wish to continue with loading the chart or cancel and consider applying filters to reduce the data set size.

Why the Data Load Limit Warning Feature Matters

Loading large data sets can affect performance, causing delays and potential frustration. For this reason, Kurve limits the number of records coming through a TRIRIGA query to 500,000 records. By alerting users early, users are made aware when a query contains more than the Kurve limit, allowing users to make more informed decision-making and help decide to filter down the source query or continue with the knowledge that only the number of records up to the Kurve limit will be loaded.

This feature is particularly useful for teams working with high volumes of data, ensuring that Kurve runs efficiently while maintaining the integrity of your reporting needs.

3. Continuous UX Enhancements and Bug Fixes

While the spotlight may be on our two main features, we also want to highlight the ongoing work that goes into enhancing the overall Kurve experience. This release includes several UX enhancements and bug fixes, aimed at refining the app's usability and performance.

A notable UX enhancement is expanding the ability to sort your data, ascending or descending, through the click of the hamburger menu in a report column! You still have the ability to click the column header to sort your data, but you can now also utilize the same functionality through the hamburger menu.

Small, incremental updates like these are often unsung heroes of software development. They don’t always grab the headlines, but they play a vital role in maintaining the quality of the user experience. Whether it's a minor UI tweak or an under-the-hood performance boost, these updates accumulate to create a more polished, reliable, and user-friendly product.

There are now two ways to sort on your data! Click on the hamburger menu and select to sort ascending, descending, or clear sort OR click the field header once for ascending, twice descending, or three times to clear the sort.

Why UX Enhancements and Bug Fixes Matter

It’s the little things that make a big difference. From improving accessibility features to fixing layout issues, these changes enhance the day-to-day user experience in subtle but impactful ways. Our commitment to continuously refining Kurve ensures that users can rely on it to be both stable and intuitive. While individual changes may seem small, together they significantly contribute to overall user satisfaction.

Looking Ahead: The Roadmap for the Rest of 2024 and Beyond

As we move forward into the rest of 2024 and beyond, we have some exciting developments planned for Kurve. Our goal is to continue enhancing your experience, making your reporting and data management more powerful, intuitive, and customizable.

Alrighty, with the legal stuff out of the way, here’s a peek at what’s coming:

  • Create Related Records in Kurve: You’ll soon be able to easily navigate between graphs and reports from within a graph or report record itself. This feature will streamline navigation between visualizations, helping you act on your data faster than ever. Plus, Kurve Admins will have the ability to manage related records for users at scale.
  • Global Admin Settings Page: We’re working on a new Global Admin Settings Page to give admins more control over app behavior and appearance. This includes:
    • Setting the number of records in API requests
    • Customizing the app's color scheme
    • Configurable URLs for record click-throughs
    • Enhanced Query Tags functionality for more flexible searches
  • Data Caching Capabilities: The Kurve team will be exploring data caching, which will optimize how frequently data is requested and stored during your reporting process, making data retrieval more efficient.
  • Advanced Filtering in Reports: We're enhancing our filtering options, allowing for even more precision and control when generating reports.
  • Overview Page Revamp: We’re redesigning the Overview page to be more informative and user-friendly, giving you quick insights at a glance.

These updates and more are on the horizon, ensuring that Kurve continues to evolve alongside your business needs. Stay tuned for these improvements and many more as we move toward a smarter, faster, and more intuitive reporting experience!
