Zap Live now includes generally available custom queries, a new resource explorer for easier report loading, and table formatting that follows data rather than worksheet position. Additionally, modeling enhancements include on-demand refresh capabilities for Analysis reports and improved Dynamics 365 Business Central Cloud connector with dynamically generated extensions.

Zap Live enhancements

Custom queries release

The custom queries feature is now generally available in Zap Live. This allows you to design and run custom queries directly within the Zap Live task pane, providing a powerful way to analyze your data without needing to switch contexts.

Resource explorer

Loading Data Hub reports into Zap Live is now even easier with the new resource explorer. Navigate to your report within a familiar folder structure, or search for it directly.

Table formatting

You can now apply formatting to Zap Live tables, and the formatting will follow the data, rather than the position on the worksheet. See the table formatting reference for more information.

Modeling enhancements

On-demand refresh from analytics

Report designers can now update the underlying data for an Analysis report from within the report itself, processing only the parts of the model required for the report. In order to ensure optimal performance, the relevant pipelines may need to be configured to support on-demand refresh. See how to refresh report data on-demand for details.
