New features and functionality
The latest release of ThoughtSpot Cloud contains several new and enhanced features.
For the Business User
- 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.
- 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.
For more information, see New home page and persona-based navigation.
- 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.
For more information, see Forecasting.
- Enhanced dynamic parameters in charts
-
Enhanced dynamic parameters are now available to all users and on by default. You can now 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. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.
For more information, see Dynamic parameters in charts.
- 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. For more information, see Schedule a Liveboard job.
For the Analyst
- 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.
For the Data Engineer
- 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.
For more information, see Natural language instructions in Spotter.
- Column security rules Early Access
-
You can now set column security rules at the table level, and they will automatically be 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.
For more information, see Column security rules.
- Column sets
-
Column sets are now available to all users and on by default. A column set is a custom group of values from a single column. You can create column sets, which can be used to classify values in a list that you can then reuse across multiple analyses. For example, you can use column sets to define regions with specific countries included or excluded. Column sets are community objects which remain when you navigate away from the Search Data page and can be used by any user with view access to the underlying Model. For more information, see Column sets.
- 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. For more information, see How rule-based RLS works.
- 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.For more information, see Row-level security.
- 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.
For more information, see Enabling an AWS PrivateLink between ThoughtSpot Cloud and your ClickHouse data warehouse.
- OAuth Client Credentials for Snowflake
-
We now support OAuth Client Credentials authentication for Snowflake. For more information, see Add a Snowflake connection and Snowflake OAuth with Client Credentials.
- 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. For more information, see Manage users and groups with SCIM.
