Web development practices in Flexmonster: more about the technologies we implement.
When working with different data sources and giving access to your data to connect with our Pivot Table, you definitely want to be sure that it’s secured. This concern is understandable, thus we've developed simple solutions to protect your data.
Starting from version 2.3 we have moved from XML to new JSON format for saving pivot reports. It means that all inputs and outputs are now in JSON format by default. Despite the fact that all XML reports are still backward compatible, we are receiving numerous questions about an easy way of migrating to the new format.
The new 2.3 release greatly extends users’ possibilities and allows visualizing more complex data from our Pivot table with popular 3rd party visualization tools.
What's all this about:
It’s known that web based Flexmonster Pivot component integrates with any JavaScript frameworks. However, sometimes it was a challenge for our customers to integrate the pivot into the needed framework due to their huge variety. Surely, we helped in solving those issues but it took some time. Caring about customers’ time we came to minimizing the efforts when combining the Component with a js framework by creating a solution.
What we did:
In the last blog, we discussed data visualisation mistakes everyone can make. Also, we all know that the quality of any data visualisation and data analysis is conditional on the quality of the data. During data analysis, a proper new finding can be revealed only if data is accurate and trustworthy. Thus, this time, we are going to look deeper at types of data with an eye to ordering and understanding your data assets better.
After the Component evaluation you could probably face the question: which license to choose? With this blog post we will help you to make the right decision when you are trying to get the most suitable license for your project.

One of the most important tools that analytical experts use for analyzing data is key performance indicators (KPIs). Flexmonster constantly monitors the latest trends and couldn’t help adding this feature to the Component. Usually a company needs to observe conditions of sales, profits, expenses, sold units etc. For such analysis they need KPIs - measurable or comparable metrics that are used to define and grade performance of a given measure. Indicators are determined based on company goals. It gives organizations the opportunity to assess their state and helps in forming development strategies, allows to control a business activity in real time.

How does it work?
Flexmonster will completely focus on the development of HTML5 version of Pivot Component and is going to STOP releasing new Flash and Flex versions in the nearest time. The new release 2.2, the last one with the Flash version, is expected this autumn!
Flexmonster keeps moving with the times and tries to meet new needs and requirements our customers demand that often requires using the latest available technologies and tools. Over the years we have managed to create high-quality Pivot Table & Charts Flash component for our clients. It's no news that every day Flash is becoming less popular among users while HTML5 is spread on majority of modern devices, is more secure and opens more opportunities for visualizing data for end users. That is why a year ago we released a new version of Flexmonster that included not only updated Flash/Flex web-component but also HTML5 version. Still, we continued applying development efforts to both versions, thus we were simultaneously enhancing them both.
For Flexmonster team 2014 has become a year of bringing our web pivot table component to the new level. Announced in spring release of version 2.1 has become not only one of the most expected by our partners and leads but also one of the most advanced in terms of functionality extension. We continue focusing on making Flexmonster pivot table component more Excel-like and thus we add a number of cool features as well as bring HTML5 version to the same level as Flash/Flex one (by features and performance).
The full list of new features and improvements includes over 20 items but we would like you to pay your attention to the most spectacular of them:
