10.15.0.cl Release Notes

ThoughtSpot is excited to announce that our brand-new navigation and homepage experience is now enabled by default for all users in the 10.15.0.cl release. This change does not apply to users of ThoughtSpot in an embedded environment.

The chart settings panel is completely redesigned with a more intuitive layout and easier access. To enable this feature, please contact your administrator. For more information, see New chart settings experience.

We now support locale-specific translations for all written text on saved Answers and Liveboards, apart from column names. Translations are matched with the locale chosen in the user profile. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot support.

Collections in ThoughtSpot are organizational containers that can group and manage different ThoughtSpot objects into nested hierarchies similar to folders on a computer. These objects can be Liveboards, Answers, data models, tables, and even other Collections. Collections help with content organization, curated and structured content sharing and collaboration. Additionally, you can assign different levels of access permissions for users you share your Collections with. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot support.

ThoughtSpot introduces new styling and grouping options for Liveboards. Styles can be applied to a Liveboard, a tile, or a group of tiles to improve readability, differentiate specific content, or apply organizational branding guidelines. You can group relevant content together within a Liveboard using grouping. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.

Filtering a Liveboard for users with limited access to its Models is now enabled by default. We’ve made the following changes to how you can filter a Liveboard that uses at least one Model that you don’t have access to.

ThoughtSpot introduces more granular download privileges to improve data security controls. You can now assign download privileges for visual downloads (PDF/PNG) or data exports (XLSX/CSV) separately. These download privileges are respected for scheduling. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.

The option to exclude cover and filter pages from Liveboard PDFs is now 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 pages 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.

You can now copy formulas, parameters and sets in the Answer data panel. This saves time and eliminates the errors that can be caused when copying and pasting.

You can now view a snapshot of a Liveboard tab directly within your scheduled email, without opening the attachment or clicking a link to view it in ThoughtSpot. Currently only one tab’s snapshot can be embedded in the email. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot support.

AI context for Models is now on by default. You can now add AI context to columns in any Model where you have Can Edit access. This context helps Spotter better interpret a column and its values, using this knowledge to differentiate between similar columns and answer your data questions more accurately. You can auto-generate this context automatically with a single click to get started.

Data model instructions are now on by default. You can now teach Spotter core concepts, default behaviors, and specific data nuances by adding natural language instructions directly to a data model. These standalone directives act as global rules for Spotter to follow. For example, you can create a rule that makes Spotter automatically apply a "last 30 days" date filter if a user’s query doesn’t specify a time frame. Access this option below the Spotter search bar or in the Instructions tab on the Model.

We now support Personal Access Token authentication for Snowflake. For more information, see Add a Snowflake connection.

You now have a quick and easy way to complete data loads of files that are not present in your cloud data warehouse. You can now upload a CSV file to your Databricks connection that can be joined to other tables in your connection. To use this feature, go to Data > Utilities, and click Upload CSV.

The default indexing frequency has been changed from daily to weekly. Administrators can change this frequency via the Search and SpotIQ settings.

Utilize ThoughtSpot’s in-house charting library, Muze, to build custom charts on the fly. Developers can create new chart types by using the code builder. With over 50 advanced settings available across different chart types, you’ll have pixel-perfect control over every aspect of your visualizations - including data label sizes, colors, font styles, grid lines, tooltips, and more. To enable this feature, contact your administrator. For more information, see Creating charts with Muze Studio.

ThoughtSpot now allows Liveboard creators to link parameters of the same type across multiple different Models. This reduces the repetitive effort required for Liveboard users to individually set identical parameters for each Model. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.
