Resolved issues

“Total checks”, “Failed checks” and “Failed checks on total violations”: documentation of these blocks in the provided Templates indicates a default “Rule ID” value which was not implemented, and failure to provide a “Rule ID” for these blocks would prevent the whole generation process. The program has been fixed with default “Rule ID” implemented according to documentation
Inline text blocks: a bug in Report Generator would prevent generation of inline text block (i.e. text blocks embedded in a sentence without any specific formatting: the original implementation always expected the text block to be accompanied by style information). The program has been fixed to handle text block regardless of absence/presence of style information.
Deletion of unnecessary columns in PowerPoint tables: when creating a table block in a PowerPoint template, Report Generator will populate columns with data from RestAPI and will create new columns as necessary, if the RestAPI provides more information. But if the Rest API returns less information, the unnecessary columns would remain in the final report. (eg: template allows for 4 columns, but RestAPI data can only fill 3 columns). Extra columns are now deleted.
For TECHNO_LOC_EVOLUTION bloc, issue correction when technology disappears or appears between two snapshots
For HEALTH_FACTOR bloc, calculation for evolution percentage has been corrected. It was calculated from rounded values in Report Generator and can be a little bit different from dashboard results.
