We’ve made two major enhancements to Codatum’s charting features—both designed to improve flexibility and expressiveness in your day-to-day data visualization.

Sort by Any Field

Previously, charts could only be sorted by limited fields such as label or value, making it difficult to control the order of data precisely. With this update, you can now sort by any field or expression.

This is particularly useful in scenarios like:

• Preserving logical order in categories

  When displaying days of the week or months of the year, you can now sort by a predefined numeric field (e.g., day_index, month_order) instead of relying on the label itself.

• Following business-defined ordering

  In cases where you’ve previously added numbers to your labels (like “1. Category A”, “2. Category B”) just to control their order, you can now use a dedicated category_order field and keep your labels clean.

• Controlling sort order without exposing sort values

  You can display only store names while sorting by hidden fields like revenue or internal priority.

You can also define multi-level sorting, with intuitive controls to add, remove, or rearrange sort conditions.

Bubble Option for XY Charts: More Insight in a Single View

While Bubble charts have long been supported in XYZ charts, you can now also choose Bubble display in XY charts.

In XYZ charts, aggregation is typically applied only to the Z axis. With this update, XY charts now support using two different aggregation functions simultaneously—one for the Y axis and another for bubble size. This makes it easier to represent both primary and supporting metrics in a single chart.

Additionally, this update is compatible with combo charts and other advanced chart types, expanding the possibilities for flexible, data-rich visualizations.

• Example: Balancing Sales and Number of Orders

  • X-axis: Product category

  • Y-axis: Total sales

  • Size: Number of orders

This allows you to visually distinguish between categories that generate similar revenue in very different ways—such as those with high volume and low unit price, versus those driven by a few large orders.

With these updates, Codatum charts are now more powerful for both exploring your data and sharing it with others. We hope you enjoy the improved experience!

We're excited to announce that Codatum charts now include a zoom feature that allows for more detailed data analysis. This enhancement makes it possible to focus on specific time periods when viewing long-term data, enabling more precise analysis.

Key Features

• Drag to Zoom

  : Select and drag across a specific area of the chart to zoom in on that region

• Shift + Scroll to Zoom

  : Hold the Shift key while scrolling to smoothly zoom in and out

• Zoom Reset Button

  : Easily return to the original view with a single click

• Slider Zoom Control

  : Enable the slider in chart settings for more intuitive zoom navigation

When to Use

When displaying long-term KPI bar charts or other data visualizations, data points can become crowded, making it difficult to see detailed fluctuations. This feature is particularly useful when you want to:

• Analyze recent subtle trend changes in detail

• Examine data variations before and after specific events

• Investigate anomalies by magnifying specific time periods

How to Use

1. Open any chart component

2. Use any of these zoom methods:

   • Drag to select a specific area (area zoom)

   • Hold Shift while scrolling to zoom in and out (smooth zoom)

   • Enable and use the slider in chart settings (slider zoom)

3. Click the "Zoom Reset" button to return to the original view

Future Developments

Codatum continues to enhance features that improve the efficiency and accuracy of data analysis. We look forward to your feedback on this new functionality!

We've introduced Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to enhance account security in Codatum. This feature can be set up as an additional security layer for both Google authentication and Email + password authentication methods.

Key Features

• Authenticator App Support

  : Compatible with Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and similar apps

• SMS Verification

  : Authentication via verification codes sent to your registered phone number

• Unauthorized Access Prevention

  : Even if account information is compromised, login is not possible without the second authentication factor

How to Set Up

1. Click the profile icon (bottom-left) > "Account settings" > "Sign-in & security"

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete setup

We especially recommend users with Email + password authentication to consider enabling MFA for enhanced security.

Codatum's GridPage uses responsive design that automatically optimizes layouts based on screen size. When the screen width is below 600px, components automatically stack vertically in a mobile layout.

This functionality is available across all display formats:

• Notebooks

• Public links

• Reports

• Signed embeds

The order of components in mobile layout is automatically determined based on the Grid configuration, eliminating the need for separate mobile-specific settings.

What's New in This Update

With this update, you can now easily preview how your content will appear in mobile layout and check the stacking order of your components before sharing. This allows you to ensure an optimal viewing experience for mobile users.

How to Use

1. Open any GridPage

2. Click the three-dot menu in the top right corner

3. Select Mobile Layout

4. Choose from the following options:

   • Preview: See how your content will look in mobile layout

   • Order index: Verify the vertical stacking order of components

Practical Applications

When sharing GridPages via Slack, email, or other platforms, recipients often view the content on mobile browsers. This new feature allows you to identify and fix any display issues or unintended component ordering before sharing, ensuring a seamless experience for all users.

Future Developments

At Codatum, we're committed to continuously improving the mobile experience. We'll be rolling out more mobile-focused updates in the future. We welcome your feedback on this and other features!

Writing SQL can sometimes be challenging when you have to remember every function name. That’s why we’ve introduced a new feature allowing you to quickly search and insert functions using a Slash Command. With this addition, your SQL coding will be significantly faster and smoother.

• Slash Command + f (func) for Instant Search

  • In an SQL block, type /, followed by f (short for func), and press Enter. This automatically brings up the function search window.

• Automatic Insertion on Selection

  • Simply pick the function you need from the search results, and it will be inserted right into your SQL statement. This saves you from extra typing and potential typos.

• No Need to Memorize Exact Names

  • Typing just part of the function name will display the relevant suggestions, making it easy to find what you need without worrying about spelling or full function names.

• Faster Coding, Higher Efficiency

  • Quickly calling up commonly used functions boosts both your development speed and accuracy, making SQL queries much smoother to write.

By leveraging the function search feature in SQL blocks, you can instantly find and insert functions as you code, drastically improving both your speed and precision. Give it a try and experience more efficient query creation!

We plan to roll out more features and improvements to enhance productivity. If you have any feedback or requests, feel free to get in touch!

We’ve released a new feature IP Access Control that limits access to your Codatum workspace to specific IP addresses (or ranges) you approve.

Because access is controlled at the network level, this feature is ideal for companies with strict security policies or compliance requirements. You can tailor access to meet your organization’s needs, striking the perfect balance between security and convenience.

• Supported Formats

  : Supports IPv4/IPv6 addresses and CIDR ranges.

• Multiple Entries

  : You can register multiple IP addresses and IP ranges at once for your workspace.

• Important Note

  : To save your changes, you must be accessing Codatum from at least one of the IP addresses you’ve specified.

Try out our new IP Access Control feature and enjoy a more secure Codatum environment! For more details, check out our docs here.

Currently, IP Access Control is being offered as a private preview. If you’d like to try it or have any questions, please reach out to us!

We've implemented Undo/Redo functionality (Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z) when changing the position or size of Charts and other elements on Grid Page. This makes screen layout adjustments more intuitive and helps you recover from operational mistakes.

• Undo/Redo now works for position and size changes of Blocks such as Charts

• Adding or deleting Blocks is currently not supported

  • After these operations, your change history will be reset, making Undo ineffective

  • We plan to support these operations in the future

• Changes to internal Block settings are not supported

  • Chart configuration changes are confirmed with individual "Save" buttons and are separate from overall Grid Page operations

Important Note for Collaborative Editing:

• When another user makes changes during collaborative editing, your edit history will be reset. This is because it's difficult to selectively restore only your operations when, for example, another user deletes a parent container.

Many users naturally try to use Ctrl+Z in Grid Page, and this addition helps align with that expected behavior. Please try it out with these limitations in mind, and we welcome your feedback for future improvements.

We have implemented a color palette feature for charts, similar to Tableau or Power BI. With simple operations, you can freely customize color schemes and bring a sense of unity to your chart information. Please give it a try!

• Ability to create a chart color palette

  (Workspace settings > General)

• Select and apply the palette in the Notebook

• A wide variety of color scheme templates

• Automatic color scheme generation feature

Although this is a minor update, it is a very important improvement for visually conveying data. We will continue to refine the UI/UX, and we look forward to your feedback!

We've improved the display of collaboration cursors when editing notebooks together, making them easier to see and less intrusive. Now, teamwork can be even smoother, so give it a try!

• Cursors are now displayed on the left edge

• Resolved the issue where overlapping cursors made it difficult to read during multi-user editing

Although this is a minor update, it’s a crucial improvement for enhancing collaboration efficiency. We’ll continue refining the UI/UX, so we’d love to hear your feedback!

We’ve improved the member search functionality in the workspace, making it easier to find and collaborate with team members effortlessly. Give it a try!

• Keyword search for members

• Filter by role

• Filter by groups

• Sort by last active (date added)

Although this is a minor update, it’s a crucial improvement for enhancing collaboration efficiency. We’ll continue refining the UI/UX, so we’d love to hear your feedback!
