Composite Model capability with tyGraph products from AppSource
Mixing multiple tyGraph data models together (or other data sources) using the Composite Model feature is now available for the tyGraph Pages product using a dataset installed from AppSource. Historically, mixing datasets only worked for manually installed tyGraph product PBIX files. Below are a couple of reference articles.

June 2023
This is a major release of tyGraph Pages with a few new and exciting features. The major feature of this release is the ability for long range summary reporting with up to 2 years of history at a user/page/week level. These new features mean that you could experience some errors on custom report visuals.
New Features
- Summary Period for long range reporting
- Content Overview, Content Navigator, and Content Health reports are now based on summarized data down to the User/Page/Week level and report as far back as the Summary Period (months) dataset parameter OR initial collector installation date (whichever date is later).
- Content Navigator and Content Health pages have visuals that are titled Recent Activity which display data based on the Detail Period (days) parameter. In this example you can see that the summary period is set to 8/9/2022 - 6/24/2023 and the Recent Activity visual is only showing data for 6/3/2022 - 6/24/2023.
- Content Overview, Content Navigator, and Content Health reports are now based on summarized data down to the User/Page/Week level and report as far back as the Summary Period (months) dataset parameter OR initial collector installation date (whichever date is later).
- Wild card Hub URL and Site Collection URL capability
- Two new dataset parameters have been introduced to indicate if the Hub URL and/or Site Collection URL parameters should be treated like a wildcard. As an example, if you have a group of Site Collections that contain a specific string, you could enter that string in the Site Collection URL(s) parameter and 'Yes' for the wild card parameter to return all sites that contain that string in the url.

- New report - Campaign Analysis
- The Campaign Analysis report serves two purposes; to analyze email UTM Campaigns and Referrer URL campaigns.

- Comment Count
- We can now report on number of comments on a page. The Content Navigator visual has a new column that represents the total comment count for each page. This is an inventory property of the page and is based on the last time a page was viewed. The metric cannot be viewed over time or down to the users who commented.

Improvements
- Fix to capture likes on pages that have more than 85 likes.
- Clicks were mapped to the home aspx page, while the views were mapped to the root url. Now both clicks and views are combined to report under the same home page url.

Announcing tyGraph for Atlas!
We are excited to announce tyGraph for Atlas. tyGraph for Atlas is a simplified experience dedicated to perspective that matter to Intranet Owners using the Atlas product. For more information please visit our Atlas product guide.
tyGraph for Atlas Report Overview : Support
Improved Hub Mapping Logic
Front loaded hub site mapping logic in page query. Before if there were pages that hadn't been visited in some time the reports would show the last known Hub for the page. Now tyGraph will consider more recent data about a sites hub mapping then apply that down to all pages within the site rather than for each page individually.
Updated Demo Data
Improved demo data to give more intuitive examples of Search, click events, and user growth.
All New Accessible Theme
We are happy to announce tyGraph Pages and Atlas experiences are now WCAG AA Compliant. The first thing you'll notice is the theme has more contrast and is easier to read. These new layout include darker fonts, larger text, better color contrast, and support for mac devices. We hope this leads to better experiences viewing our reports for all ranges of abilities.
Known Issues
On the "Site Audience" page, the "List These Users" visual in custom saved reports may break. Please refer to this article for details on how to fix this.

Previously new page/site users were identified based on sessions, devices, and browser caching. If a user changes any of those, they would count as a new user first time a new configuration is detected. We now enhanced this detection to be based on the user's identity regardless of their device, session, or browser cache.

Custom Columns Generally Available
In November 2021 we soft launched custom column support for Valo and Clear People pages. This month we have opened up the reports so that you can now filter to Custom Columns as well as their content.
We are excited to the options this new capability will bring and look forward to adding more reports that take advantage of this new capability.
New Page Viewers Experience - Content Overview
We've added a new button experience on the Content Overview Page under the Unique Page Viewers card. Now you can click on this card to explore details on the very users who made those views.
On the right edge of the visual you can change the totals to aggregate by Organization Hierarchy (Active Directory), Location, or to a user.
New Peak Viewers Grid Visual - Content Overview
You can now click the calendar icon on the content overview to see peak days and hours with the most unique page viewers. Many users love seeing the overall peak in viewers by hour or day of the week, this allows you to see the intersection of those points in more detail.
New Search Measures

Support for Omnia Pages
Thanks to feedback from the Omnia team we have logic that supports measuring page views against Omnia Pages. If you have Omnia pages in your Tenant, we now include page viewdata against that content as well.
November 2021
New Features
Improved Click Tracking
We have greatly improved our click tracking to include more page elements and better labels that describe the element the user clicked on. This includes clicks on the Atlas Mega Menu, Atlas Launchpad, Site Navigation, Global Navigation, Hubsite Site Navigation, app bar links, and app bar navigation.
New Dataset Filters
Our Dataset filters previously allowed you to restrict the hub, sites, or select the timezone for the entire report. Now you can Filter the dataset to only return on News Articles. This is great for communications reports that focus on your news capability without the clutter of all your other content in the reports.
New Measures
We have added some new measures to the reports.
- Unique Users Clicking - A unique count of users clicking on a site/page/element etc. This helps base your click counting in a more understandable denomination. Counting click events can be limiting because of high variance among users (Some click once some hundreds of times). By reducing to unique users clicking its much easier to understand your actual click traffic to a user.
Published Pages - We modified this calculation to better represent published pages.
New Properties
These properties are now in the data model and can be used to build visuals, slice, or filter data.
- User properties - City, Province/State, Country, Department, Job Title, Office Location, Preferred Language, Usage Location
- OS/Browser Hierarchy - Added Client Type under Client Type Group. This will allow you to separate user sessions based on if they were from Teams, Mobile, or Desktop.
- Page properties - Atlas Template ,Atlas Version, Page First Published Date, Page First Published Time
- Custom Columns - We are happy to announce the initial launch of custom columns ,this will be limited only to Valo and Clear People deployments.
