What’s coming in the next release

Enhanced dynamic parameters are now available to all users and on by default. You can use any parameter from an axis or column name of a chart in the title or description of the Answer which contains that chart. A parameter used in the title or description always displays the value of the same parameter used in the chart itself.

The creator of a scheduled job now gets an email alert if the job fails to send to any number of subscribers to the job. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.

We have updated the abbreviations for large number formatting in Japanese. Our new format uses 千 for thousands, 百万 for millions, 十億 for billions, and 兆 for trillions.

Groups can now be added as subscribers to alerts. When you want to add multiple users to an alert subscription, you can now search for their group in the alert subscription modal and add them all at once. Note that users subscribed through a group must be removed from the group to be removed from the alert schedule.

You can now add natural language instructions directly to a Model in the Data workspace. For example, you can instruct Spotter to specify the date filter as the last 30 days if the user does not provide a date keyword. You can edit instructions directly in a conversation by clicking the instructions icon in Spotter. You must have edit access to a Model or administrator privileges to view and edit instructions. Instructions on a Model are limited to 3000 characters. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot support.

You can now set column security rules at the table level, and they will automatically inherited to associated Models. Operational management is simplified as the cluster setting, Strict Object Mode, is not required. In addition, rules are only required for the secured columns rather than all columns in the table. For each column you select as restricted, you can define which group(s) can have access to the column. Users without access will not see the column in search results, or anywhere in the product. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.

ThoughtSpot introduces RLS rule logic to support using AND/OR operators with bracket notation. You can now define more precise and complex access control policies that accurately reflect your organization’s security requirements without resorting to data modeling solutions with access control list tables. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.

ThoughtSpot introduces a new system variable ts_groups_int for integer comparison in the row-level security configuration. This allows you to create RLS rules where an integer column is compared directly to the integer group IDs a user belongs to.

ThoughtSpot now supports AWS PrivateLink for ClickHouse connections. ThoughtSpot encrypts all your data by default. For an additional layer of security and network reliability, you can use an AWS PrivateLink. To enable ClickHouse connections, contact your administrator.

We now support OAuth Client Credentials authentication for Snowflake.

ThoughtSpot now supports importing OAuth connections through TML without validation. This feature allows users to import an OAuth connection via TML without performing validation during the import process.

SCIM is now available to all users and on by default. ThoughtSpot supports the use of SCIM to automate identity management and user provisioning across different identity management systems. Customers who use identity providers like Okta or Active Directory for identity management can now sync their user-management functions between their IdP and ThoughtSpot Cloud. Users are provisioned with their corresponding group and Org attributes when they authenticate via SSO (SAML). Users that are deactivated in their IDP are removed from ThoughtSpot as well.
