Illuminate, Updated Features

Our October 2024 release includes:

Data Q&A available in Canada & Sydney 

In addition to being available in the EU and US, Data Q&A is now available for clients hosted in the Canada and Sydney regions. We’re adding support for more regions in the future. Using Data Q&A, viewers can ask questions based on available topics and receive an answer in the form of a dashboard. The dashboard has multiple visualizations, as well as a text-based summary generated by AI. 

Data Q&A is not currently available to viewers with restricted access to data. Only institutions that have adopted Institutional Authentication and opted in to Data Q&A in Settings can use Data Q&A.

New Global Settings 

The Global Settings page now includes a control for session timeout. Clients can select a timeout between 15 minutes and 8 hours. It also includes an institutional email field. We recommend that clients populate this email with the most appropriate address to receive notifications of system outages, planned maintenance windows, and other important information.

Native authentication password rotation 

Although we encourage all clients to use Institutional Authentication for greater security and to unlock additional features, Illuminate native authentication is still supported. Native authentication refers to signing in with an individual Illuminate account. In order to improve security for this method, we are enforcing password rotation every 90 days. Users may update their password at any point by following the “Forgot password” link on the login page.
