What’s new in ThoughtSpot Cloud
September 2025 10.12.0.cl
| Features marked as Beta are off by default. To enable them, contact ThoughtSpot support. |
Spotter Coach business terms
You can now directly add business terms to Spotter Coach, rather than approving and editing terms from within a Spotter conversation.
For more information, see Spotter business terms.
Coach Spotter from conversation Early Access
You can now coach Spotter without leaving your conversation. Click Add to coaching below an Answer to teach Spotter how to answer similar questions in the future. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.
For more information, see Coaching within a conversation.
Spotter natural language instructions Beta
You can now use natural language instructions to provide global feedback to Spotter that carries over to any query on the underlying data model. To provide natural language instructions, select the instructions icon in Spotter and type a directive about how Spotter is to interpret the question. 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. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot support.
For more information, see Natural language instructions in Spotter.
Spotter context in feedback Beta
Rather than simply training Spotter Coach to recognize search tokens in reference questions, you can now add context, natural language explanations of why those tokens apply to that answer. For example, you could add an implicit rule to a sample reference question, clarifying that sales should only be calculated on completed transactions. Adding context to coaching improves accuracy and makes it easier to tailor Spotter to your data. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot support.
For more information, see Context in Spotter.
Rerun queries in Search data Early Access
This functionality allows users to execute the same search query again without needing to refresh the browser or modify the query, and update results with the latest data.
With this feature, users can simply click 
to rerun the query, which is useful for testing data model changes, formula updates, or database reloads. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot support.
Change comparison for single-point KPIs Beta
You can now make your single-point KPIs more powerful and actionable with the new aggregated KPI chart. You can see how your KPI has changed from the previous period even for queries like 'sales last 14 days' or 'sales last 2 months'. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot support.
For more information, see Change analysis for single-point KPIs.
Custom sort order on Answers Early Access
You can now define and modify a custom sort order for attributes directly in an Answer. Sort order defined in the Answer overrides the sort order defined in the Model for that particular Answer. To enable this feature, contact your administrator. For more information, see Define or edit a custom sort order for an Answer.
Include or exclude cover and filter pages from a Liveboard PDF Early Access
The option to exclude cover and filter pages from Liveboard PDFs is now available to all users and on by default. ThoughtSpot Liveboard PDFs include a cover page and filter pages that contain information about the filters applied. You can now use the PDF Options checkboxes to choose to include or exclude these page when downloading or scheduling a Liveboard PDF. Cover and filter pages can be excluded for a schedule or download by the user. An administrator can also set cover and filter pages to be included or excluded by default in Admin settings under Downloads & Schedules.
For more information, see Download a Liveboard as a PDF.
KPI alert emails
KPI alert emails now display a visualization of your KPI, along with the change from the previous time bucket, and the threshold condition.
Query_groups optional grouping columns
Optional grouping columns are now available to all users and on by default. ThoughtSpot supports optional grouping columns in query_groups to ensure that only specified columns are included, if they are present in the query. A new syntax allows users to define an explicit optional list of grouping columns. Previously, you needed to manually exclude all other columns from the Model.
For more information, see Query_groups optional grouping columns.
Last value in period and first value in period functions
Last_value_in_period and first_value_in_period functions are now available to all users and on by default. These functions are useful for semi-additive measures, measures that typically return a single value per time period rather than being additive across time. For example, if you want to find out the last value for full-time employee headcount for the current date, you can use the formula, fxFTE = last_value_in_period(sum(full_time_employee), query_groups(), {date}).
For more information, see Last_value_in_period and first_value_in_period functions.
Other features and enhancements
Async Import TML utility Early Access
The Import TML can now also be done asynchronously from the new TML utility. This allows users to trigger TML imports directly from the UI, which are processed as asynchronous jobs in the backend. You can enable this feature from the Data modelling option under Application Settings on the Admin settings page. Once enabled, you can access the new UI from the Data workspace > Utilities page.
Bridge support for cloud data warehouses
Bridge provides options to securely connect your data source with ThoughtSpot Cloud, as an alternative to PrivateLink, VPC Peering, or VPN tunnels. We expanded support for Bridge to include the following connectors:
-
Azure Synapse
-
ClickHouse
-
Dremio
For more information, see Bridge connectivity for Cloud Data Warehouses and Databases.
Multiple configurations per connection
In addition to Snowflake, we now support multiple configurations for Databricks and Google BigQuery. This feature allows you to allocate a separate configurations for different ThoughtSpot users, groups, or processes, eliminating the need to duplicate Liveboards and configure multiple connections, and helping you with cost tracking and governance. You can also use this for your system processes so that you can control and balance the computing load.
Add user-defined ID (object ID) in TML Beta
You can now directly add or edit an object ID in the TML of an Answer, table, Model, Liveboard, or View. This user-defined object ID allows you to manage content across multiple Orgs without having to manually change the GUID of an object each time you move it between Orgs. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot support.
For more information, see Object ID in TML files.

What’s coming in the next release
October 2025 10.13.0.cl
| Features marked as Beta are off by default. To enable them, contact ThoughtSpot support. |
Navigation and favorites Early Access
ThoughtSpot introduces navigation organized by persona. The new navigation allows business users, analysts, data engineers, administrators, and developers to work in separate contextual sections designed specifically for their needs. In addition, Favorites have been added to the left panel navigation Insights tab. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.
List page
ThoughtSpot introduces improved list pages. List pages include improved sorting, filtering, tags and views. List pages also now remember selections for All and Yours, and allow you to see Favorites and Verified with one click.
Forecasting
Forecasting is now available to all users and on by default. You can use SpotIQ analysis to forecast future trends for your KPIs. ThoughtSpot uses machine learning models that learn from past trends, growth, and seasonality to project how the target metric will trend in the future.
This feature can be disabled from the Search & SpotIQ option under Application Settings on the Admin settings page.
Enhanced dynamic parameters in charts
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.
Emails for failed scheduled jobs Early Access
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.
Number formatting for Japanese
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.
Add groups as subscribers to alerts
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.
Other features and enhancements
Spotter natural language instructions Beta
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.
Column security rules Early Access
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.
Enhanced row-level security (RLS) rule logic Early Access
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.
RLS support for integer comparison for ts_groups
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.
ClickHouse AWS PrivateLink
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.
OAuth Client Credentials for Snowflake
We now support OAuth Client Credentials authentication for Snowflake.
Connection TML import for OAuth without validation
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.
System Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) support
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.
