          <title>New features for Silverlight BI Portal</title>
          <description>
             &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Latest fixes and updates&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Stuck on an airplane or out of network range - no problem. Bring your data with you with our support for Local Cubes. There is a new button that allows you to export your currently selected data and store it locally as a file. Later on, you can open this file from within the Silverlight BI Portal and continue analyzing your data with the already familiar user interface.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

If the setting is &amp;quot;MandatoryFilter&amp;quot; and the attribute hierarchy is NOT filtered, the software will NOT allow the end user to drop the item before filtering it. This features assures that attributes with large number of members will not be browsed unless a filter is applied first. The cube designer has the control over which attributes need to be filtered before being browsed.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;frozen column and row headers in the report data table;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;improved performance when rendering html elements in data table;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;added optional showing of properties as a popup tooltip over the column and row header cells of the report data table;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;popup tooltip properties can be temporarily turned off (right click, then show/hide), or can be permanently turned of in options;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;RSC &amp;lt;ul&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;fixed a bug when right clicking on the report in the tree view;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;

When storing on the local host machine, you can use c:&quot;foldername&quot; or %webroot%&quot;UserData&quot;%username% path locations (IIS needs read/write access to the location). When using remote storage, enter UNC path &quot;&quot;servername&quot;sharename&quot;folder, and make sure that you have proper security rights for the IIS server to access this share and have read/write permissions (turn on asp.net impersonation)&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Report Server – stores end users’ reports and options to the configured report server. The MS Report Server “My Reports” option must be turned on.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;
