Thank you John. One feature which was not communicated clearly is the new ability to set "default dashboards". Dashboards now follow the standard sharing mechanism, meaning that you can create dashboards and make them public or share them with groups, as well as controlling view and edit access. So a good thing to do now is to create say 2-3 generally relevant dashboards and make them public view-able. This way, when new users are created or self-registered, they will see some initial dashboards instead of arriving at a blank page like earlier.
I remember John that you asked about this many years ago - it took some time but now its here ;) cheers Lars On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 7:12 AM, John Ojo <jn...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Dear Lars and Team, Congratulations!!! > You guys made my day with the dashboard.

You can also define an "annual sample count" meaning the > number of years to compare for the same period as the current.
