Our two latest Watershed updates include the ability to select people who are in multiple groups and to easily work with data that has different language tags.

We navigate our world through mental “maps,” which give us a way to think about concepts and the relationships among them. The better our mental maps, the better we are able to understand cause-and-effect relationships, predict outcomes, and apply our knowledge to reality. With that in mind, this three-part Dev Delve series is about one such mental map that can guide how we think about accessing data and unlocking its value. Specifically, we’ll look at two key factors in data: shape and interface. And, once we define these concepts, we can think about the relationship between them.

Watershed’s Enhanced Dashboard Management allows you to categorize dashboards, group them in the dashboard menu, and set permissions for groups of dashboards.

Filtering people, activities, and verbs out of reports is the most common use of Advanced Configuration. Since it’s so common, we’ve made it easier to filter data out of reports by introducing new Exclude Filters (a.k.a. “Not” Filters) to Explore, Dashboard Quick Filters, and Report Quick Filters. 

Here's a rundown of Watershed's recent updates and fixes—including three new screens in the Data section, improvements to CSV import, more control over card caching, and custom colors in pie cards.

Watershed's newest feature ensures that the connection between separate Learning Record Stores (LRSs) is maintained when data sources deliver bad statements.

Dashboard Quick Filters allow users to filter multiple reports without needing to access Explore, Watershed’s report creation tool. These filters, which aren’t saved, are easy to use and perfect for providing limited control to users who aren’t familiar with Watershed.

The Accumulation Aggregation feature allows users to compare performance metrics for different time periods. 

The Unfiltered Line option allows users to compare filtered and unfiltered data on the same Line Report. Users can now easily compare an individual’s performance to their team’s performance or compare performance on an individual activity versus average performance across activities.

We have recently added the Measure Value Filter and the Last Value Count Aggregation features to Watershed. Keep reading to learn more about how these features change the user experience.
