Users will only be prompted to select values during the card creation process, and these selections can be easily modified later through the menu.
- Users can now enhance dashboard cards with Python scripts and choose from various display options, including Table, Stats, and Charts, for optimal data representation.
- Within the Charts display option, users can select from various entities to enhance their data visualization.
- In the Stats and Tables display options, users can choose a different table to enhance their data analysis.

Workflows
- When a workflow is executed manually, the system will display the user who initiated the workflow.
- Workflows now feature the ability to map reference tables as arguments for workflow activities, significantly improving both their functionality and flexibility.
Tables
- In Reference Tables, users can filter data using various criteria such as entity, scope, and a customizable text field to apply a "Where" expression. By default, the reference table view is now configured to load only the first 1,000 rows of data.
- When viewing data in Reference Tables, users now have the capability to select which columns are displayed on the data screen, similar to selecting signals in Data Views. At least one column must be selected for the display to function properly.
Data Model
Entities
- Users can now select multiple entities simultaneously, enabling them to efficiently edit their entity types or delete several entities at once.
Sources
- An enhanced hierarchy import mode for child-parent relationships is now included in Data Sources.
- Users can now rename Data Integration Sets, providing a consistent experience similar to the renaming functionality available for other items.
- Users can now filter template and category dropdown options in the PI Explorer search, facilitating easier item localization through text-based filtering.
- Users can now import data directly from a Smartsheet data source, which includes the ability to import hierarchies. Additionally, users can specify whether to connect to existing Sheets or create new Reports within the Smartsheet connection.
- In the Data Connections section, users now have the capability to import data seamlessly from an OData connector, enhancing their data integration options.
- In the Mappings tab of Data Sources, users can now import data utilizing the Count Distinct aggregation method, allowing for more precise data analysis and reporting.
