Basic Liveboard usage
Create a new Liveboard to group and manage related search results.
| Starting in May 2022, ThoughtSpot rebranded pinboards as Liveboards. For backward compatibility, we currently support internal processes and external methods that use the older naming convention. |
Liveboards act like live dashboards. They are collections of your related charts, tables, and headlines.
You can pin charts and tables to any Liveboard that you created, and the Liveboards that have been shared with you with the Edit privilege. When you create a Liveboard, you can share it with other people with either the View or Edit privilege. Liveboards are interactive, allowing you to perform actions like filtering, excluding values, and drill down on the visualizations.
