ThoughtSpot Cloud Documentation

Custom tile sizes for visualizations within Liveboards are now GA. Make your Liveboard layout your own by customizing your Liveboard visualizations to be any size, instead of just 5 predetermined sizes. For more information, see Edit the layout of a Liveboard.

You can now sync data directly from an answer or custom SQL view to Salesforce. Using ThoughtSpot Sync, you can push insights directly to Salesforce, notify your teams, and view data in context. ThoughtSpot Sync automatically establishes a secure pipeline to the destination app and thus eliminates the need for building custom connectors.

For more information, see Sync data to Salesforce.

Discoverable answers and Liveboards are now GA and on by default. You can now easily and immediately make content available to your team members. Use the Make this [answer | Liveboard] discoverable checkbox that appears when you save or share an answer or Liveboard to grant view access to your teammates. Teammates can then view your answer or Liveboard in the list of relevant results when they use Search Answers, and see your content on their home page once viewed.

For more information, see Share answers and Share Liveboards.

You can now edit your display name by clicking the profile icon in the upper-right corner of the screen and clicking on the Edit button next to Name. For more information, see Edit display name.

With query banding, Teradata connections now support the trust SQL feature in Teradata. This provides additional permissions to a ThoughtSpot user for accessing specific tables in Teradata to execute queries. The user must be configured as an application proxy user in Teradata. Query banding also allows tracking of statistics for queries executed by a user. Refer to Add a Teradata connection.

The following SpotApps are now available:

In this release, ThoughtSpot officially certifies and provides support for Microsoft SQL Server used with Synapse connections. For more information, see Add a Synapse connection.

The Query Stats Liveboard allows administrators of customers who have signed up for a query-based usage subscription, to track the number of queries generated by their users. To view the Query Stats Liveboard, go to Liveboards and select Query Stats Liveboard. Query-based usage is part of consumption-based pricing. For more information, see Query Stats Liveboard.

Liveboard ThoughtSpot Modeling Language (TML) files now contain distinct GUIDs for each visualization in the Liveboard by default. This ensures that the GUID for the visualization stays the same after you import or export it. For more information, see ThoughtSpot Modeling Language.
