Business value

Customers leveraging Electronic reporting (ER) functionality will benefit from faster model validation, reduced maintenance overhead, and improved runtime performance. By removing the need for computed fields, this feature simplifies report design, accelerates implementation timelines, and enhances the scalability of reporting solutions. It empowers organizations to build more robust and maintainable configurations, ultimately driving better insights and operational agility.

Feature details

This update enables enum fields to be used directly in GroupBy aggregations within Electronic reporting model mappings.

With this enhancement:

  • Enum fields can be aggregated using either their element index (as integer) or element name (as string).
  • The aggregation type "Any" has been introduced, which returns the first available value without performing calculations—ideal for enum fields.

This eliminates the need to create performance-costly computed fields solely for aggregation purposes, simplifying configuration and improving maintainability.
