Custom sets
You can create custom sets, which can be used to classify values in a list that you can then reuse across multiple analyses. ThoughtSpot now supports custom column sets. A column set is a custom group of values from a single column. Custom sets are community objects which remain when you navigate away from the Search Data page. When a set is initially created it is only available to the creator. When a set is used in an Answer or Liveboard, and the Answer or Liveboard is shared with specific users or groups of users, the set is then available for use as a community object.
| Custom column sets are in early access and off by default. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support. |
