You Asked, We Updated: New Dynect Zone Graphs Are Live
We had a list of feature requests from users (and from ourselves) that we wanted to incorporate into our Zone Graph reports. So with list in hand, we sent our newest Dynect developer Joe Stelmach on the hunt for the graphing software that would fulfill our needs. After exploring a half dozen alternatives, we settled on the javascript library from Highcharts JS.
