More than one year after the first release of Smart Filter Pro only as a private custom visual for Power BI, we have released the latest version of Smart Filter Pro (2.1.4) also on the AppSource marketplace. In this article, we explain why we made this decision and why we support both versions (private and AppSource), even though we suggest switching to the private version instead of using the version downloaded from the AppSource marketplace.

This article describes different techniques to update Power BI custom visuals in existing reports, and then compares certified and non-certified Power BI visuals considering security and business continuity aspects.

Upgrading the preview version of Smart Filter Pro requires a particular procedure. This will be not required in any future updates of OKViz custom visuals. We included a detailed guide to make sure you will not lose any property of the custom visual you must upgrade.

In the latest version of Synoptic Panel (v1.4.0) we made a lot of changes, here are the main differences with the previous version:

Candlestick by OKViz is a custom visual designed to present stock data, using a very specialized chart made of several candles.

Bullet Chart by OKViz is a popular custom visual for Power BI. It is used mainly for displaying single values along with their context information, as comparison values, targets, and performance states.

Card with States by OKViz is the most popular custom visual for Power BI. Today, we are proud to introduce a new, great version.

In the last post, we talked about the new API for visual development. Today, we are very proud to introduce our first visual that uses the new development API: the Sparkline by OKViz.
