New features in OBIEE 11.1.1.7 platform

The latest release of OBIEE 11.1.1.7 platform includes a number of high level enhancements.. but there are some lesser known enhancements that may be useful in creating new analyses:

• The new default style for dashboards has been changed to  FusionFX.
  
• The addition of the Freeze Column option to the Column Properties menu in the Criteria tab of an analysis. Much like the same feature in Excel, this option allows you to freeze a column at an edge (top or left) of a dashboard layout.
  
• The ability to export an entire dashboard or a single dashboard page to Microsoft Excel 2007+.
