The Intellicus 25.6 release brings the following new features and enhancements.

Administrative Enhancements

Native Connectivity with Spark + Doris

Intellicus now provides native integration with Apache Spark and Doris, enabling advanced, distributed data processing. This feature enables Intellicus to run Spark jobs that fetch data from Apache Doris and write transformed data to object storage platforms, such as S3 or Ceph.

Key Highlights:

• Spark connection can be configured in Intellicus via the Portal, with support for defining the Spark master, submit command, driver JAR path, and job execution class.

• Inline Spark job configuration is supported directly within the query object using special comments (e.g., /* spark.driver.memory = 4g */), offering fine-grained control over resource allocation.

• Supports Doris as the source and S3/Ceph as the target using native connectors.

• Runtime options include file cleanup frequency and data record thresholds to optimize storage and execution.

• Enables scalable and efficient ETL pipelines by leveraging Spark's distributed compute capabilities.

Spark on Kubernetes (Available in Intellicus 25.6 SP2)

Intellicus introduces Spark on Kubernetes connectivity, enabling distributed Spark job execution through containerized environments. This feature extends existing Spark integration by allowing administrators to:

• Submit Spark jobs directly to Kubernetes clusters.

• Use Intellicus-provided Docker images with preconfigured dependencies.

• Manage resources dynamically using namespaces and service accounts.

This enhancement provides greater deployment flexibility and improved scalability for Spark-based data processing in modern cloud-native environments.

Option to Show/Hide Measure Name Row in Crosstab Header

A new property, Hide Repeated Measure Name, is introduced in the Report Server Configuration, allowing designers to control the visibility of the measure name row in High Speed View crosstab headers.

Key Highlights:

• When enabled, the measure name is shown only once in consecutive rows where the same measure is repeated.

• This behavior is applicable only when a single measure is used in the crosstab.

• The property is available under:
  Administration > Configure > Server > Rendering > Hide Repeated Measure Name

• Automatically falls back to full display when multiple measures are added.

Enhancements to Data File Upload

Download Sample Template

A new Download Sample Template button has been added to the data file upload interface. This allows users to download a predefined sample file (sample.xlsx) for reference, helping them understand the required file format before uploading.

• Configuration Key: sampleFilePath

• Default Path: ../data/sample/sample.xlsx

Backup and Recovery for Uploaded Files

Intellicus now provides a backup mechanism for uploaded files. If a file is manually uploaded and later becomes unavailable at the original connection location, users can retrieve it using the Download button in the portal.

• Configuration Key: afterUploadCopiedPath

• Backup Path: ../data/modifiedpath

High Speed View Report Enhancements

Slider Filter for Measures in High Speed View (HSV) Reports

Intellicus introduces slider-based filtering for measure fields in High Speed View reports, making numeric filtering more interactive and user-friendly. This features works when ‘Between’ is selected as the filtering criteria.

Key Highlights:

• Adds a visual slider control for measure fields (e.g., Sales, Profit) directly in the filter pane of HSV reports.

• Allows users to dynamically define minimum and maximum thresholds for the selected measure.

• Supports real-time filtering, updating the visualizations as users adjust the slider.

• Works with multiple view types, including grid, chart, and crosstab.

Grid Style Property in High Speed View (HSV) Report Grids

A new Grid Style property has been added to HSV report grids, enabling report designers to apply consistent formatting across data grids for better readability and presentation.

Key Highlights:

• Allows selection from predefined visual styles for grid layout, borders, row height, and colors.

• Grid styles can be applied at the individual grid level, offering flexibility in multi-view reports.

• Available in both on-screen and exported report formats.

Support to Hide Measure Column in Grid and Crosstab View

With this release, Intellicus introduces enhanced control over measure display in Grid and Crosstab views. Previously, at least one measure was always displayed by default. Now, users and designers can opt to display only dimension data by clearing the default measure selection.

In this release, the Measures button in Grid and Crosstab views now shows the default measure as selected. Users can choose to clear the checkbox to hide the measure column from the view.

This enhancement allows views to display only dimension values, enabling a cleaner and more focused data presentation when measures are not required.

Enhanced Cube Build Options with New Value-Based Method (Intellicus 25.6 SP2)

Intellicus 25.6 SP2 introduces a new Value-Based cube build method to improve cube processing flexibility and performance for data models. This method eliminates the dependency on indexing and processes cubes directly using data values.

The Value-Based method uses value-driven aggregation instead of index-based lookups. It is optimized for tabular cube structures where direct value computation can improve build efficiency and reduce storage overhead. This method simplifies cube design for datasets that do not rely on complex hierarchies or multi-level aggregations.

You can configure this option in the Build Method setting available in the Cube Definition UI.

Benefits

• Improved cube build performance for tabular datasets.

• Reduced cube storage requirements by removing indexing overhead.

• Simplified configuration for value-based analytical models.

Studio Report Enhancements

Option to Hide Page Header and Footer on Section Title Pages in Studio Reports

Intellicus Studio now supports hiding the page header and footer on specific sections, such as title pages, allowing for cleaner and more customized report layouts.

Key Highlights:

• Controlled via the XmlTagName property (e.g., Header_TAG) on label or field controls in the report layout.

• A new pageEvent property is exposed for the Page Header and Page Footer sections in scripting.

• Designers can check for specific events and conditionally hide header/footer sections using script logic.

Sample Script:
