Functions and features of the new version of ARAD
Selection tree
- Navigation using active links - faster backward browsing through the tree, direct return to any position in the tree.
- The text describing the tree branch is also active- in the previous version, only the icon was active - faster browsing.
Data selection
- Methodology tab - contains a reference to the methodological sheet. A new approach to News and FAQ relating to a specific report was introduced - information on changes in the data.
- Chart - selected indicators can be viewed as charts.
- Print version - output is formatted excluding the menu to one or more A4 pages depending on the number of columns.
- Choice of periodicity - monthly/quarterly/annual. When selecting data it is possible to choose a periodicity longer than the original frequency of the data in the data source (e.g. quarterly or annual periodicity for originally monthly data). For such a choice only data for the last period in the given periodicity (e.g. only for the last month of the quarter or the last day of the year) will be selected for all time series - both stock and flow data.
- Decimal places - the old version of ARAD formatted numbers with one decimal place. A default option was added, enabling each user to set the number of decimal places as defined when creating the report.
- Decimal delimiter - given the different requirements of end users and the different settings in their user environments, the new version offers both options. The default values in the Czech and English versions are comma and dot, respectively.

- Full screen - full screen mode for improved work with the data sheet.
