5.3.5 Download | Build 5.3.5322.730
Released: October 8, 2020
Important: Please see upgrade instructions in 5.3.0 Release below.
What's fixed?
Version 5.3.5 is a patch release focused on performance optimization and bug-fixes. It includes the following highlights:
Config
- A bug where a Measure's aggregation type always showed as "Sum", regardless of its actual aggregation type, has been resolved.
- All Active Directory users within an Active Directory group can be imported into a Flow security group in a single action. We hope this speeds up your workflow!
- The overall performance of the Config Tool has been optimized. Let us know if this helps your blood pressure!
- A bug where an error was received during the version migration of a large Flow system has been resolved.
Data Engine
- The processing of Calculated Measures that depend on themselves has been optimized.
- The engine will rerun quarantined Measures as soon as you have opened them in the Config Tool.
Forms
- When information on a form is still being processed (i.e. pending), the cell will show a small static disc, rather than a "spinner". The "spinner" was creating havoc with your browsers.
- Event forms can now be configured to allow or disallow event splitting, event editing and event deletion.
- Event forms can now include a readonly "Comment" column which will display the first or last comment entered against that specific Event Period.
Charts
- On a Time Based Chart, on a series, you can change the "Interpolation Type" of a line or area type. This allows you to create "curved", "straight", "step" or "jump" lines.

5.3.2 Download | Build 5.3.214.564
Released: June 22, 2020
Important: Please see upgrade instructions in 5.3.0 Release below.
What's fixed?
Version 5.3.2 is a bug-fix update which includes approximately 24 bug fixes, optimization enhancements and small feature enhancements. The list is too long to replicate here, but these are some of the highlights:
Data Engine
- A number of performance optimizations have been achieved in the Data Engine. A new concept of measure "quarantining" has been introduced to reduce unnecessary load on the Engines and the Flow database.
- A weekly measure can now be aggregated (i.e. rolled up) into a monthly measure. Because weeks don't "fit" perfectly into months, Flow treats weeks that have ended in a given month as "belonging" to that month for roll up purposes.
Integration Engine
- A bug affecting the Integration Engine performance on initial scan has been resolved.
Dashboards, Charts, Tables and Forms
- The Time Based Comparison Table can now be exported to CSV.
- The Time Based Comparison Table now has "frozen" column and row headers.
- A bug on the Time Based Portrait Table where Limit color was not being displayed has now been resolved.
- Some small enhancements to the Event Based Forms (e.g. splitting of open-ended events) have been made.
Config Tool
- A bug where changing a measure's calendar context caused issues with that measure's Integration context has been resolved.
- One or two small bugs relating to the Templating System have been resolved.
