With Kurve for TRIRIGA v1.29, reporting gets another round of thoughtful improvements that make your graphs clearer, your reports cleaner, and your filters more intuitive. This release focuses on the small, high-impact enhancements that streamline day-to-day reporting tasks—especially for users who live in Combo Charts or rely on custom columns to tailor their data views.

Let’s dive into the three (3) key updates in Kurve for TRIRIGA v1.29 and what they mean for your reporting toolkit.

1. Hide the Count from Group Sections for a Clean-Looking Report

Grouped reports are essential for breaking down data by category—like priority, region, or building. But sometimes, the auto-generated count next to each group can clutter the view or distract from the metric that really matters.

In v1.29, you can now hide the count from the group section in your reports.

In this Corrective Work Tasks report, users can choose whether to show or hide the count label in the Task Priority grouping. For example, “Emergency” can be displayed simply as “Emergency” or as “Emergency (3)”—indicating there are three records in that category.

Why hiding the count from groupings matters:

  • Decluttered Views: Removing the default count helps create a cleaner, more streamlined report—ideal for presentations or executive summaries.
  • Focus on What Counts (Literally): If your report already includes aggregations, the group count might feel redundant.
  • Flexible Presentation: Sometimes the number of items in a group isn’t the story—this option helps you focus the narrative.

Use it when: You’re building grouped reports where the emphasis is on totals, percentages, or other aggregate metrics—not item counts.

2. New “Includes” Function for Kurve Custom Columns

Custom columns give you the freedom to create highly specific report logic—whether you’re adding columns together, determining the number of days between two date columns, or using color to flag certain data points. And now, with the addition of the “Includes” function, that logic capability has expanded!

The new function behaves similarly to a “Contains” filter, allowing you to check if a field includes specific text or values.

Use the “Includes” function in a custom column to return “true” for any Request Class field that contains the word “HVAC.” Then, simply filter out the “false” values to generate a report showing only records related to HVAC.

Why the "Includes" custom column function matters:

  • Faster Filtering: Cut through long lists of values by applying “Includes” directly in your custom column logic.
  • More Dynamic Reports: Build smarter flags or classifications based on keywords, phrases, or partial matches.
  • Fewer Workarounds: Previously, achieving this logic required more manual manipulation or complex expressions—now it’s a simple built-in option.

Use it when: You’re segmenting data based on partial string matches—like finding all records that “include” the word “Lease,” “Pending,” or a team name.

3. Customize Graph Totals in Combo Charts with Label Renaming

Combo Charts continue to be one of the most dynamic tools in the TRIRIGA reporting arsenal, especially for comparing trends across different data series. But until now, users were locked into a default label for the total value(s) displayed underneath the chart. Customizing how data is presented makes a big difference in how it’s received.

With this release, you can now rename the graph total label in Combo Charts. This seemingly small tweak opens the door for greater clarity and context—especially when your audience isn’t familiar with the default system terminology.

In this example, we enable the graph total for our second series, which shows the average cost of work tasks. Then, we return to the first series—displaying the count of work tasks—and rename the graph total from "triRecordID" to "Work Tasks" for clearer, consistent labeling across the chart.

Why customizing graph total labels matters:

  • Tailored Storytelling: Change “Total” to something more descriptive like “Overall Spend,” “Total Headcount,” or “Net Usage”—whatever best fits your report.
  • Clarity in Complex Reports: When your chart includes multiple series, this small label change can clarify what that final number actually represents.
  • Consistent Terminology: Align your visual elements with the naming conventions already used in your organization or report narrative.

Use it when: You’re presenting data to stakeholders and want your charts to speak their language—or when multiple totals across a combo chart need clear distinction.

Recap! Why These Enhancements Matter

At Kurve, we believe powerful reporting doesn’t have to be complicated. Each feature in this release addresses real-world friction points we hear about from clients all the time:

  • "This report is too cluttered—can we hide the group counts?"
  • "I just want to filter for anything that includes a word, but I don’t know how to write the formula!"
  • "Can I relabel totals to match our terminology?"

v1.29 delivers simple, user-focused improvements that make reporting faster, clearer, and more flexible—so your teams can focus on insights, not formatting.

The Road Ahead for Smarter Reporting

We’re continuing to build out functionality that helps you get the most out of TRIRIGA with less effort. Expect more in upcoming releases that expand customization, enhance automation, and further refine the reporting experience.

In the meantime, dive into v1.29 and see how these small upgrades can lead to big reporting wins!
