ProClarity Analytics Server

 * Parameterized Decomposition Tree views automatically display the left node of the lowest level.
 * Named sets and calculated members are always displayed in alphabetical order.
 * Bar charts that contain all negative numbers display the correct orientation.
 * Performance is improved for charts that contain lots of members.
 * Views that contain subtotals or grand totals from earlier versions of ProClarity Analytics Server appear correctly.
 * Performance Map views are supported by all regional settings.
 * The traffic light (Multiple) status indicator icon is displayed correctly.
 * Performance is improved for views that contain subtotals, grand totals, and Background axis aggregated members.
 * A shared item can be available for all cubes in the same hierarchy.
 * The Change Connection Information feature supports automation by using the software development kit (SDK).
 * On a 64-bit computer, the ProClarity Analytics Server installation successfully installs PivotTable Services 9.0 and Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.
 * You can create new users when the name of the domain controller has more than 14 characters.
 * The Administration Tool can be installed independently on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2.

ProClarity Dashboard Server

 * Multiple Microsoft Windows NT domains are supported.
 * Parameters can display hierarchical selections.
 * Hierarchical parameters support multiple selections.
 * Parameterized Web Standard views display data correctly.

ProClarity Professional

 * Performance is improved when you publish a briefing book. Performance is also improved when you are using alternative security.
 * Subtotals and non-empty cross-joins can be used in the same query. Non-empty cross-joins are disabled only on the axis to which subtotals are applied.
 * Queries that contain subtotals or grand totals provide the correct Action commands for a chart series. (You right-click to access these commands.) These commands include the Drill To Detail command.
 * Named sets and calculated members are always displayed in alphabetical order.
 * Perspective view labels remain consistent when you switch between a Perspective view and a Decomposition Tree view.

ProClarity Business Reporter

 * You do not have to create a new layout after you add a newly created item to an existing slicer.
 * Rows are not duplicated after you update a report. If duplicate rows already exist in a report, install ProClarity Business Reporter 6.2, remove the duplicate rows manually, and then save the report again.
 * Slicers that contain a single member revert to a Background selection.
 * Reports that contain a slicer are updated correctly. If a slicer is not updated correctly in an existing report, install Business Reporter 6.2, and then save the report again.

ProClarity for Reporting Services

 * Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services 2000 is supported.
 * The link to a view on ProClarity Analytics Server generates the correct URL.
 * The default height of reports has changed from 100 inches to 80 inches.
