# January 2024

January brought the Firewall, which restricts access to the Reports Portal by IP address, report export to PDF, PowerPoint and image, and the new **Workspace Contributor** role. The Reports Portal and the login screen also got a new look.

## January 31, 2024

### Improvements

* **Option to hide the sidebar in embedded reports**: when you display a report in your own system through the API, you can now hide the sidebar of the navigation screen with the **hideSidebar** parameter, leaving more room for the report. [See the documentation](../../../technical-documentation/api/show-report-on-your-system.md)

## January 29, 2024

### Improvements

* **Company column in the report tabs**: on the create and edit screens for *Users*, *Folders* and *Groups*, the **Reports** tab now shows the **Company** column instead of **Description**, making it easier to find each company's reports when assigning permissions. [See the documentation](../../../administration-portal/users/create-edit-user.md)

## January 23, 2024

### New features

* **Recently Published**: the Reports Portal side menu has a new **Recently Published** item, which shows recently published reports you have access to. This makes it easier to find out what is new in the portal. [See the documentation](../../../reports-portal/visualization-portal/README.md)

## January 21, 2024

### Improvements

* **New login screen**: the Reports Portal login screen was redesigned with a more modern, organized look for your users. [See the documentation](../../../administration-portal/settings/login-screen/README.md)

## January 19, 2024

### Improvements

* **Add my IP address**: on the *Firewall* screen, the **Add my IP address** button creates a rule for the IP you are currently using with a single click, so you don't have to look up and type the address. [See the documentation](../../../administration-portal/firewall/README.md)

## January 18, 2024

### New features

* **Firewall**: you can now restrict access to the Reports Portal to approved IP addresses. When someone tries to sign in from an unauthorized IP, access is blocked with a message saying the attempt was stopped by a firewall rule. On the *Firewall* screen, blocked attempts appear as pending requests that you can **Approve** or **Deny** (with an optional note), and approved or denied rules can be edited, removed or audited. A new firewall audit lets you review blocked attempts, filtering by email, IP and date/time. [See the documentation](../../../administration-portal/firewall/README.md)

## January 15, 2024

### New features

* **Workspace Contributor role**: this new user role can import reports and manage permissions and RLS only in the workspaces the user has access to. When you pick this role on the user form, a tab lists the workspaces so you can select which ones the user may work with. Users with this role can create folders and groups but cannot edit or delete them, and the import screen only shows the workspaces available to them. This lets you delegate report management for an area without granting access to the whole environment. [See the documentation](../../../administration-portal/users/user-role-types.md)

## January 10, 2024

### New features

* **Export reports**: reports in the Reports Portal now have an **Export** option that saves the report as **PDF**, **PowerPoint** or image (**PNG**). Export can be allowed or blocked through a permission on the user and group forms. [See the documentation](../../../reports-portal/report-navigation.md)

## January 7, 2024

### Improvements

* **New Reports Portal look**: the Reports Portal received a new, more modern interface for browsing and viewing reports. [See the documentation](../../../reports-portal/visualization-portal/README.md)

## January 2, 2024

### Improvements

* **Page name in the report address**: the address (URL) of a report opened in the Reports Portal now includes the name of the page being displayed, making it easier to tell which report page a link points to.
