This solution reduces the administrative effort for standard updates and guarantees harmonized and actualized standard data throughout the company.

Two new chart types are now available to increase the possibilities of data visualization and comparison. The Heat Map chart visualizes a measurement in form of a color distribution over two dimensions.
