You can now customize how dates are formatted in Grafana. Custom date formats apply to the time range picker, graphs, and other panel visualizations.

This screenshot shows both a custom full date format with a 12 hour clock and am/pm suffix. The graph is also
showing same 12-hour clock format and a customized month and day format compared to the Grafana default `MM/DD` format.

## Field options are out of beta!
After lots of testing and user feedback, we removed the beta label from the configuration options in the Field and Override tabs. This release also includes the following feature enhancements.
## Table column filters
### Added table column filters
The new column filter option allows you to dynamically apply value filters to any column. This option is disabled but
can be enabled for all or a specific column using an override rule.

## New and improved transforms
### New field override selection options
Grafana 7.2 includes a new group by transform that allows you to group by multiple fields and add any number of aggregations for other fields.
You can now add override rules that use a regex matcher to choose which fields to apply rules to.
There is also an update to the labels to fields transform that allow you to pick one label and use that as the name of the value field.
The [Field options]({{< relref "../panels/field-options.md" >}}) content has been updated as a result of these changes.
The UI for transforms also has an update that now allows you to move transformations up and down.

## Field override matchers
- A new [Group By]({{< relref "../panels/transformations.md#group-by">}}) transformation that allows you to group by multiple fields and add any number of aggregations for other fields.
- The [Labels to fields]({{< relref "../panels/transformations.md#labels-to-fields">}}) transformation now allows you to pick one label and use that as the name of the value field.
- You can now move transformations up and down. Remember that transformations are processed in the order they are listed in the UI, so think before you move something!
You can now add override rules that use a regex matcher and overrides that match on field type.

## Sensitive alert notification channel settings are now stored encrypted in the database
## Sensitive alert channel settings are now encrypted
Before Grafana v7.2 alert notification channels did not store sensitive settings/secrets such as API tokens and password encrypted in the database. In Grafana v7.2, creating a new alert notification channel will store sensitive settings encrypted in the database.
Alert notification channels now store sensitive settings and secrets, such as API tokens and passwords, encrypted in the database.
Please read the [upgrade notes]({{< relref "../installation/upgrading.md#ensure-encryption-of-existing-alert-notification-channel-secrets" >}}) for more information and how to migrate.

### Report grid layout
### Report and export dashboards in grid layout
A new layout option is available when rendering reports: the grid layout. With this option your report will use the panel layout from your dashboard so that what you see is what you get. Learn more about the [grid layout]({{< relref "../enterprise/reporting.md#layout-and-orientation.md" >}}) in the documentation.

### Report time range
A report can now be set up with a different time range from the dashboard it is based on. This means you no longer have to apply workarounds such as copying dashboards or carefully aligning report generation with the end of the month to generate reports that covers the period you want. The dashboard's stored time range remains the default option.

In collaboration with Microsoft we have started to improve the usability of our ADX datasource plugin by adding a visual query builder. The goal is to make it easier for users, regardless of their previous knowledge of writing KQL (Kusto Query Language) queries, to query and visualize their data.
