Introduced in Release 1.1.1, Sharing allows you to create a connector to a private data source, but “share” read-only access to that connection to other users in the account.

Version 1.0.2 of the Bluyah application has been pushed to the production server.  Changes in the application include:

• Generic XML Connectors (I can hear the applause).  This has been our most-requested connector type for the past 3 months and we can say it’s finally a reality.  To walk you through how you connect to an XML feed and configure it for reporting, please see the excellent video tutorial Mike has posted.  It should answer all of your questions.
• Report against Database Tables.  Up until this release, DB Connectors only discovered pre-defined database views.  Now we’ll show you any tables you have in your database as well.  Report away!  [Ticket #216]
   
• Fixed an issue where charts would time-out if non-numeric data was encountered.  [Ticket #84]
• Column sorting has been added to Connector, Report and Export lists.  This allows you to more quickly find the item you’re looking for via sorting by name, date, or source. [Ticket #125]  
• Better visibility to default Exports.  Did you know every report you create can, by default, be exported to html, xml or csv format?  No?  Well, not to worry, we’ve now made the URLs for each of those formats easier to find.  Just navigate to the Export tab and you’ll see what we mean. [Ticket #179]
