New features in Tachyon Experience 8.1
No longer requires SQL Server Analysis Server (SSAS)
On the Software page, the Product, Executable, Version and Architecture columns have been removed from the table that is displayed after clicking on a particular row. This is because the subsequent table is filtered on the selected Product, Executable, Version and Architecture values and will be the same for every row in the table. The values are displayed anyway in the heading for the page, and the columns can be added back from the Column picker if needed
User Sentiment descriptions now highlight that User Sentiment is processed once a day, rather than real-time.
