7.0 Release Notes

Search Assist Coach enables Analysts, or anyone who has edit access to a Worksheet, to create Search Assist sample queries based on their company’s data. This gives all users the opportunity to experience onboarding and training on data that is relevant to their work, and specific to their line of business.

Search Assist introduces new users to ThoughtSpot’s Search experience by walking them through simple search scenarios on your company’s data. It demonstrates how anyone can get answers to their data questions by typing in the Search bar. Worksheet owners can use Search Assist Coach to create these sample search queries on your company’s data.

The default search experience is now Search on enter. This means that you can add new tokens to the search bar, or remove them, without altering your existing search, until you press the Enter key on your keyboard, or select Go to the right of the search bar.

Embrace now supports Databricks Beta. Because this feature is in Beta, it is disabled by default. To enable Databricks, contact ThoughtSpot Support.

When configuring SAML authentication for ThoughtSpot, it is now mandatory to map the mail attribute in the IDP metadata file to the email address of the user. If your company cannot meet this requirement, contact ThoughtSpot Support. For more information, refer to Configure SAML, specifically to Configure SAML 2.0.

There are several enhancements to the Scriptability feature:

We improved the join workflows to support adding and updating joins on tables, worksheets, and views. See Join a worksheet to another data source and Join a table, View, or Worksheet to another data source.

ThoughtSpot supports showing underlying data for searches based on schemas with chasm traps by default. If you do not want to show underlying data for schemas with chasm traps, contact ThoughtSpot Support.

We added support for states and state abbreviations, and also postal codes, for Mexico. See Geo Map reference.

This release of ThoughtSpot makes it easier to deploy ThoughtSpot on an RHEL image. You can now enable SELinux when deploying ThoughtSpot on RHEL. If you enable SELinux, ensure that you install the yum setroubleshoot package.

This release of ThoughtSpot introduces deployment support for Oracle Enterprise Linux. This decouples the OS and application files we shipped together in previous releases, and gives you the flexibility to run ThoughtSpot on an OEL image that your organization manages internally.

This release of ThoughtSpot enables your security team to collect security audit events based on user activity. You can view logs for the following events: Successful login, Failed login, Locked account, Profile change, Group creation, Group deletion, User group change, Group modification, Privilege change, User account creation, User account deletion, Password change, Object creation (Pinboard or Answer), Object deletion (Pinboard or Answer), Object modification (Pinboard or Answer), and Object sharing.

This release of ThoughtSpot introduces support for new cloud VM instance types for AWS and Azure. For all instance types, see the AWS configuration options and Azure configuration options.

ThoughtSpot now supports Azure Disk Encryption (ADE) for clusters running on an RHEL image in Azure. Azure Disk Encryption provides volume encryption for both the OS and data disks of Azure virtual machines (VMs).
