CHART LIBRARY
Power up with our extended chart library

The built-in Datylon chart library now contains over 120 chart templates that will help you create charts quicker, easier and with more variation. They can also be used to create your own on-brand custom templates.  Just create a new chart with the chat maker, and select one of the templates from the list.

DATA MANAGEMENT
Gain time with 'Swap workbook' functionality

The 'Swap workbook' button is a bit hidden in the data management tool but oh so efficient when data changes frequently and/or last minute while designing charts. In one click you can update a complete workbook containing multiple data sheets.

And now in R42, your data point styling and formatting settings are kept reducing the manual work to none when updating charts.

ADVANCED STYLING OPTIONS
From zero to hero

Yet another useful Datylon styling option. Sometimes a zero in your data is very significant. Sometimes it is not. You can now choose to show or hide zero’s in your data labels for Bar, Pie, Icon and Bullet charts.

Bullet chart

The color of the bar of a bullet chart can be driven by data. Just add a hex code or a hex name to the data, bind it to the bar color and off you go! See more info here.

Improved UX & reducing clicks 

Simply by using 'Control-Click' or 'Right-Click', you get a shortcut menu with all the relevant options for any of your designs, workbooks or templates. For instance, creating a copy or a template from a design is now literally just one click away.
