Added accessibility to Report view context menu
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
When on the My Reports screen and a Summary report is selected, the Report Viewer displays a Summarized Reports table with a column header that opens a command menu upon right-click of the mouse. This functionality is enabled in the Report Definition rule by selecting the checkbox Enable column command menu under the Report Viewer tab. Although keyboard users can open the menu via Shift+F10, keyboard users who cannot see the screen were not informed that this functionality is available as the screen reader did not announce this. This has been resolved.

Summary Report collapsible sections made accessible
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
In order to improve accessibility, the rules 'RRDataSummaryGeneration' and 'pzDisplayGroupNodeVertical' have been updated so the clickable expand icons in summary reports will append the value of the current group when setting the text "Click to expand or collapse". This will allow JAWS to uniquely identify exactly what will be expanded or collapsed.

Zero value parameter handling added to Trend Reporting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
After converting the Summary Views to a Report Definition, the Chart reporting functionality was not working in the Report Definition drill-down reports; whole records present were being fetched instead of only the graph chart count. Investigation showed that one of the parameters in the FilterBy was missing, and that pxSLAAgeTimeliness used 0 instead of null, causing the system to consider all records. This has been resolved by modifying the pega_report_Summary.js file and the pxSLAAgeTimeliness FunctionAlias to handle the 0 value and ensure all parameters are present.

Search landing page performance improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
Performance improvements have been made for the Pega Platform search landing page by implementing timeouts for all requests to ElasticSearch when executing PegaIndexAdminImpl.getIndicesInfo() and changing all requests for single index to requests for all indexes. In addition, SearchUtils.areDummyDocumentsPresent() has been modified to get all 'dummy documents' in case there are duplicate dummy documents in the ElasticSearch indexes.

Logic update made to PrepareColors to resolve calculation ambiguity
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When a Report Definition was summarized, the executed report showed a graph for multiple categories but generated the error "No data to display" if given a single category. This was traced to an ambiguity in the Java syntax of the Rule-Utility-Function pzPrepareColors that led to a NegativeArraySizeException on a customer's environment. To resolve this, parentheses have been placed around a ternary operator to ensure the correct order of operations.

Support added for calling Export to Excel directly from RD
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When using Export to Excel directly from a report definition, a date column specified using pxDatetime was shown as applied date format in the resulting Excel file. The column was formatted as expected if the export was called from an activity. This was traced to the recent refactoring of Export to Excel: it was not expected that it would be called directly, but rather that it would be invoked from a report viewer ruleform. In order to support this direct use, step calls have been added to the pzRDExportWrapper activity to call pzMergeAutoGen before the engine call. This step will merge the pyModes pages from pxDateTime control.

Hidden filters will not be shown on the resulting report
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
After setting up a Report Definition to be visible in report browser with all filters hidden, editing and saving the report resulted in the filter values being visible on the report. This has been resolved by modifying pzResolveCopyFilters activity so that If the filter view option is "Read only, allow no changes" and "Filter not visible in Viewer", it will skip copying the filter values on to the report definition page.

Corrected Flex UI Alignment issues in Microsoft Internet Explorer 11
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
In Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, a UI rendering issue was observed when Report Definition uses many columns. This was traced to Flex not being fully supported in Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, causing the flexResize function inside pzpega_ui_doc_lifecycle to not perform well when calculating harness width based on content. While there was a workaround of using the flag "pega.u.d.DISABLE_FLEX_RESIZE" to indicate the system should not execute that function, the issue has been resolved by setting table layout to auto.

Handling added for special characters in Report Category name
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When a Report Category was created with a special character such as ' ( , ) (ex "ABC's Reports"), the special character was not correctly shown at the Category Selection in Report Widget of the Dashboard Configuration. This was traced to the category names being sanitized against XSS attacks twice, once by the dropdown itself, and once by the activity pzRBCategoriesPostProcess, which is shared between this dropdown and the report browser. To resolve this, the system will make a simplified copy of pzRBCategoriesPostProcess for the report widget's use case and continue to use that as the post processing activity for D_pzReportWidgetCategories.
