What’s new on November 8, 2022
Features
Importing data in excel sheets to your data collections just became easier:
You can download an empty excel template directly from the Import screen
After validating your data, you see a summary of the valid and invalid entries
You are able to finish importing your valid data entries, even if your data set includes invalid entries
You can download the invalid entries and work on them later
The Chart dashboard widget supports now two new use cases:
You can show ‘trend’ on your Number chart, essentially comparing your current value to a data point in the past, and display the change in either percentage or absolute value
“Impact statement” is a new layout for the Number chart, allowing you to add an icon/image and additional text to give context to your data
For dashboard charts in general, you have the option to have several data disaggregations in one single widget and navigate between them using a button bar.
We have added a “What’s New” section to CONNECT for communicating release changes. You can access the release information via a new icon in the header toolbar.

Map charts on dashboards have been enhanced with new features:
Set up filters so you can filter data on a dashboard by selecting an area on the map (e.g. a province)
Create your own custom color coding scheme
It is now possible to import GPS coordinates as part of data sets.
Shared data collections enable you to share data sets across your workspaces and remove the need to enter for example structural and institutional data, such as districts and schools, separately for each workspace.
We have added an alternative data entry mode for data collections. The new ‘wizard’ mode guides you through the different sections of the form and lets you Save only at the end of the form thus ensuring completeness of data.
The scope of the Tasks feature was extended to cover overdue data collection updates. A Task is created for the responsible persons when the update frequency is exceeded without a new submission.
Related to the Tasks feature, you can now add multiple responsible persons for both data reporting and submission approvals per data collection. If a data collection has the approval workflow activated, then the persons responsible for approvals will get a Task when a new data entry is submitted for approval.
