Data Import
Importing data from a data source 	New functionality: Mapping the fields of a data source to the attributes 
During the import, the field names are used to map the fields of the data source to the corresponding attributes in the InfoZoom table. In InfoZoom, the field names of the data source are saved as import names and can be displayed for the attributes. 
If some mappings cannot be found during the reload, e.g. because the names have been changed, you can now remap the fields to the attributes in order to update the import names. The new wizard for field mappings supports you in doing so.
The wizard replaces the functionality to edit import names. The Show/Edit Names of Imported Fields check box and the Delete import names button have therefore been removed.
Topic: Map fields	
Importing data from Excel (Excel wizard) 	New functionality: Connecting Excel files as data sources
To import data from an Excel file, a temporary file has been created and then deleted until now. It was thus not possible to reload data from the original Excel file.
Excel files are now connected as data sources as it is already done with other formats. Data can thus also be reloaded from Excel files. The Excel File tab has been added to the Data Source window for this purpose.
Topic: Using Excel Files as Data Sources	
	Expanded functionality: Starting the data import from an Excel file
Up to now, you could start the data import from an Excel file on the Data tab with the  button. You can now also start the data import as follows:
•	You open the file in InfoZoom with the selection wizard or the File | Open menu item. 
•	You drag and drop the file from its storage location to the InfoZoom window.
Topic: Importing Data from Excel	
Data Import Using the Database Wizard	Expanded functionality: Select fields for adoption
The various possibilities for selecting fields are now also available in a context menu.
With the context menu you can also select or deselect all fields of the same table in one step for adoption. For this purpose, the context menu features the menu items Select All Fields in the Same Table/View and Deselect All Fields in the Same Table/View.

Topic: Defining Queries	
Analyzing Data
Color Analysis	Changed interface: Icons for color analysis
Attributes that define all colors of the table are now marked with the new  traffic light symbol in the attribute column.

Topic: Color Analysis	
Saving and Outputting Data
Random sample 	New functionality: Table section with a random sample as a new table
You can now open a random sample from the current table as a new table. A random sample consists of a randomly selected partial quantity of the objects from the current table. If you have a table with a large number of data, you can use a random sample to save a small number of data to work on in a separate file.
Topic: Table Section with a Random Sample as a New Table	
Tables in the FOP format	Changed functionality: You can no longer print tables in the FOP format or view them in the print preview.	
Command Line Parameters
Command Line Parameters for Working with the Data	New command line parameters -reset and -resetall for resetting tables	
	New command line parameters -selectattributes and -deselectattributes for selecting attributes

 Note: The attribute selection as determined by the
-selectattributes parameter applies to subsequent parameters. This affects, for example, the parameters for saving
and outputting data, such as -saveObjectsAs, -report or
-publish. When a report is created with –report, only those attributes selected by -selectattributes are used. If all attributes are required, the selection preceding the _report parameter must be removed with the -deselectattributes parameter.
