Table Tile
A new tile report layout is available in Retail Home, allowing display of data in a table format inside a tile. The report can be configured to display data in one of two layouts:

Data Visualizer Integration for Expanded Reports
Retail Home is now able to support displaying a report from Oracle Data Visualizer when clicking on the Expanded Report button in the corner of a metric tile on a Retail Home dashboard. A tile can be configured with a link to which report should be displayed as the expanded report for that tile. This ability requires a Retail Insights Cloud Service subscription.
Instructions for how to configure this integration will be found in the Retail Home Administration Guide.

Integration Health UI
A new page is available in Retail Home that displays the current status of configured integration points in Retail Home. It is available only to Retail Home Administrators. The page displays the currently configured integration points, along with a status indicator for whether that integration point is working or not. If an integration point is not working, any related error message is displayed on the page as well.
