2021.1

Business Graphics: Backward Compatibility Issues introduced in 2018.1
As a consequence of changes in both the user interface and the underlying technology,
Business Graphics made with a version prior to PlanetPress Connect 2018.1 may not display
correctly when opened in version 2021.1.
The currently known backward compatibility issues are listed here:
All charts
l Legend position: The position of the legend is not converted. It defaults to 'left' in a
converted chart.
l Rows are series/Columns are series: Only one type of data structure for detail tables is
supported in the new version: the one that corresponds to the former Columns are series
setting (with which charts display one series per record, one bar/point per data field). After
conversion to 2018.1, charts that used the Rows are series setting will be displayed as if
the Columns are series setting were used. Pie charts will thus only show data from the
first record in the detail table. If the number of records in the detail table remains
consistent, then the charts can be corrected by modifying the data mapping configuration
(see "Preparing a data table" on page695 in the Online Help:
https://help.objectiflune.com/en/PlanetPress-connect-user-guide/2021.1.). Otherwise the
data needs to be transposed via script.
l NOTE:Expanded custom chart scripts cannot be converted.
Pie charts
l Default colors: The default colors (used when no pie chart colors are specified) have
changed.
Line and Bar charts
l Legend label: In previous versions, the name for a values series (needed for the legend)
could only be taken from a field outside the detail table. The value of the selected field
would be used. Setting a different label required expanding the chart script. After
conversion, the name of the field is used instead of the value. Setting a different label can
now be done in the Edit Chart Script dialog (see "Selecting data for a Business Graphic"
on page694 in the Online Help: https://help.objectiflune.com/en/PlanetPress-connect-
user-guide/2021.1.
