This was a webcast today given by ihilgefort on Visual BI's Design Studio extensions. These are my notes as I heard them.

Figure 1 shows that things in the future are subject to change

Figure 2 shows a mapping of Visual BI add-ons, showing latest Design Studio version provides mapping, basic functionality
Regional maps, US/states, Germany/District, street level details
It is not limited to marker layers
It includes a menu structure, search box, helping the developer add standard functionality without coding
Here is the link to a thirty day trial for the Visual BI extensions

Figure 3 is the roadmap for the extensions. What is coming in the future includes trend lines, full hierarchy support (expand/collapse), assign colors to members of dashboard, includes GeoJSON / TopJSON map
Utilities include export to PPT and to Outlook
It includes responsive container for mobile
It supports Design Studio Release 1.3, 1.4, 1.5

Figure 4 shows that it includes multi-axis charts, combine data with maps without having to create files to build maps
It speeds up process of building dashboards, using an Excel spreadsheet as a data source

Adding more than 40 charts to Design Studio – influence them in design time and run time using scripts
Standard features include print, export, drill down
Reuse same chart for multiple charts
Figure 6: Source: Visual BI
The maps go down to street level
The maps go down to the next level - can navigate from a map to Web intelligence / Crystal for a closed loop scenario

Figure 7 shows the marker layer for maps, drill down, scripting behind it
Figure 8: Source: Visual BI
Figure 8 shows some of the current Design Studio Utilities one of which is Search - which I tried here Sharing my SAP Design Studio Search Utility Extension Experience
Figure 9: Source: Visual BI
Figure 9 covers the new chart types and at the bottom it includes new features for the chart types
Figure 10: Source: Visual BI
Conditional formatting
Scaling features shown in Figure 10 can be used to prevent confusion with numbers
Figure 11: Source: Visual BI
Figure 11 shows color-coding of charts where you can “paint the chart” instead of you having to code that – deliver style sheet code need
Figure 12: Source: Visual BI
Maps are a part of your overall landscape
Map to navigate to your existing assets such as Crystal or Web Intelligence
Figure 13: Source: Visual BI
Figure 13 covers updates to period selectors, including how to send data to backend
You can freely define it instead of coding it; it also adjusts for fiscal year
Figure 14: Source: Visual BI
Figure 14 shows a custom table, with column independent sorting
Figure 15: Source: Visual BI
Figure 15 is a new KPI tile with title, sub title, integrate icons, values, and sparkline charts in tile
Figure 16: Source: Visual BI
For quick prototyping you can use Excel or Google spreadsheets as a data source
Figure 17: Source: Visual BI
With the export to PDF you can influence the orientation, header and footer text
You can add comments before you export
You can select which components become part of the PDF; for example you may want to remove buttons from PDF to only get chart and table
Figure 18: Source: Visual BI
Figure 18 shows a true hierarchical filter
Figure 19: Source: Visual BI
Figure 19 shows the What if scenario, similar to XCelsius
If costs go down 5% how will it influence profit? See Is a What if Scenario in Design Studio possible ? for more details
Please note this webcast was sponsored by Visual BI and these are my notes as I heard them. Unfortunately I had to leave the webinar early so I didn't document the question & answer.
