What's New in Viewpoint Analytics 2023 R7
This release introduces Paginated Reports to Viewpoint Analytics. With Paginated Reports, Vista users can view and share reports for data in Vista and Vista Web without accessing those applications directly. This release also introduces Tags and Permission Groups for both Vista and Spectrum users, which enable you to organize and control access to Paginated Reports and Dashboards.
Paginated Reports for Vista Users
You can upload SSRS reports in the .RDL file format to convert them to Power BI* Paginated Reports and share with your team in Viewpoint Analytics.
By using single sign-on, the data displayed in a Paginated Report is controlled by the access level, configured in Vista, for the user who is accessing the report.
In addition, this release updates the Dashboards page so that Paginated Reports and Dashboards are available from the same tab in Analytics.

Permission Groups
This release introduces both Permission Groups and Tags, which are used in conjunction to organize and control access to Paginated Reports and Dashboards.
Analytics Admins can create Permission Groups, which include groups of users and define the level of access those users have to reports and tags within Viewpoint Analytics. If a tag is applied to a Permission Group, the users in that group automatically have view-only access to reports with that tag. The Admin can give additional permissions to users in that group from the settings page for Permission Groups.
For instructions on using permission groups, see Manage Permission Groups
Tags
Use tags in conjunction with Permission Groups to organize and control access to Paginated Reports and Dashboards in Viewpoint Analytics. Permissions to view and run a report are granted by assigning the report to a tag and assigning the tag to a Permission Group.
For instructions on using tags, see Manage Tags
