## Dashboards
The biggest change to dashboards in Grafana 8.2 is the inclusion of a configurable fiscal year in the time picker. This option enables fiscal quarters as time ranges, which can be helpful for business-focused and executive dashboards in addition to many other common use cases. Please see the [time range controls documentation].(https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/dashboards/time-range-controls/) for more information.

## Grafana 8 Alerting
We’ve continued to bolster the new, unified alerting system launched in Grafana 8. This release includes significant improvements including an AlertManager notification panel allowing users to explore alerts via a dashboard panel. We’ve also added custom grouping for alert manager notifications and several small but significant changes to improve creation editing and managing alert rules. Please see the [alerting documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/alerting/unified-alerting/) for more details and information on enabling the unified alerting in your instance of Grafana.
We’ve continued to bolster the new, unified alerting system launched in Grafana 8. This update includes the addition of a UI to edit the Cortex/Loki namespace, edit the alert group name, and edit the alert group evaluation interval. We've also added a Test button to test an alert notification contact point. There's even more to explore here including custom grouping for alert manager notifications and several small but significant changes to improve creation editing and managing alert rules. Please see the [alerting documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/alerting/unified-alerting/) for more details and information on how you can enable the unified alerting system in your instance of Grafana.

## Image Renderer performance improvements and measurement
You can use Grafana’s image renderer to generate JPEG and PDF images of panels and dashboards. Use these images for alert notifications, PDF exports, and reports sent by Grafana. We’ve added additional metrics to the image renderer to help you diagnose its performance, and [included guidance in our documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/next/image-rendering/#rendering-mode) to help you configure it for the best mix of performance and resource usage. Tests show that we have reduced image load time from the 95th percentile of 10 seconds to less than 3 seconds under normal load.

Reports offer a powerful way to deliver insights directly to your email inboxes. Now you can create a report directly from any dashboard, using the Share button. This is especially useful when combined with fine-grained access control, which you can use to grant Editors or Viewers the ability to create reports in Grafana. To learn more, see the [reporting documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/enterprise/reporting/).
