    Version 3.0.1 - June 2021
    • New:
      • Dashboard Tab Templates: Design a dashboard tab and save it as a reusable template. Both the row layout and the canvases are saved in the template. You can then insert that tab into any dashboard, including those in other projects. You can modify a dashboard tab you have created from a template without affecting the template itself.
      • Library elements: Save part of a KPI tree and reuse it in the Analysis tab of any project. You can select, edit, or delete these library elements.
