We are currently looking to move from the silveright client to a Html5 client. Currently looking at your implementation and FlexMonster. The current thinking is that it would be better to stay with the same look and feel. As such we have been doing a side by side comparison. One of our testers has raised the following for issues regarding the differences between your silverlight and the html5 client. Could you please provide feedback on how we can regain some if not all of the functionality (Screenshots attached)?

#Issue 1

Currently with the silverlight client when there is a long list to choose from, I just scroll to the year, for example, that I want (Screenshot 1-a).

With the html client I have to scroll down

then click "load next", then scroll down, click "Load Next" had to do this 3-4 X before geting to the 2018. (Screenshot 1-b)

#Issue 2

With the silverlight implementation, there is a icon / button to click that will select all of the multi select boxes, then I can unselect if I just want to exclude one. (Screenshot 2-a)

With the html client there is no way to select all w/ the multi select boxes, this "+" icon/button seemed like it would be, but it is a slicer, which I dont understand, which is OK. The button to the left of the "+" has kind of the same hover over text of "show only selected items" vs "select visible" in current olap. But it really only shows you then the data points you have selected. (Screenshot 2-b)

#Issue 3

With the silverlight implementation there is a way to "find" multiple fields at once (Screenshot 3-a)

In the html client, I had used the magnify glass to bring up a search field, but ONLY ONE at a time. I had to enter what I wanted, click ok, then go back to the field in the rows / columns etc to bring up the pop up then click the magnify glass again to search. (Unable to add the last screenshot)

Added the missing screenshot.

Also I mentioned there where 4 issues but I only put in three. I will leave it as the three above to get things going.

Hi Matt!

  1. LoadNext button is available in both HTML5 and Silverlight versions. In Silverlight, the default number of items loaded is 100, so the button is not always visible, but in HTML - 20. We will increase the default number.
  2. There is no "Select visible" command in HTML. We will include the function in the work plan. The icons design is now being revised, we will remove the "+" button to open the slicer window. This will allow to avoid ambiguous interpretations. In addition, the implementation of slicers requires revision, we also plan to hold it. The dialog for selecting dimension members is also planned to be modified in the new version.
  3. Searching on multiple fields we include in the work plan of new version.

We plan to release the new version by the end of the third quarter.

Best regards
Petr
