9.8.0.sw Release Notes

We have updated the static ports used to communicate between services within a cluster. To see the updated list, refer to Network ports.

We made the following changes to dbt:

Embedding in note tiles is now available to all users and is on by default. You can now embed interactive content such as videos, pdfs, or Figma files into Liveboards using the note tile format. To try it out, enter a Liveboard, select the edit icon, and select Add note from the top bar. You can then click the embed icon and enter the URL or iFrame code for your content. You can interact with the content embedded in a Liveboard like you would with a website. For more information, see Embedding content with iFrames.

Personalized Liveboard views allow you to save your own set of values for filters and parameters in a Liveboard without creating a copy of the Liveboard. When you change the values of the already present filters in a Liveboard, you can save the personalized view for future use. The personalized Liveboard view inherits any changes made to the master Liveboard, including changes made to pinned visualizations, tabs, filter chips, and re-ordering. For more information, see Personalized Liveboard views.

ThoughtSpot introduces a request access function for view-only filters. You can now request access to underlying data sources by clicking Request access in the filter modal. When you click Request access a request to access all the underlying data sources is sent. For more information, see Request object access.

You can now add or reply to comments, tag other users, or subscribe to comment threads directly on a Liveboard. Users can point out insights or reach out for clarification without leaving ThoughtSpot. To try it out, click the comment icon to the right of the edit icon, and select the data point you would like to comment on. For more information, see Collaborative Liveboards.

You can now see verification status and descriptions on tables and columns imported from Atlan. This information appears when you click on the corresponding table or column in Search data. Once connected, this information is visible to all users. For more information, see Atlan catalog integration.

Previously, when adding multiple date keywords to a Search, ThoughtSpot accepted the last entered date keyword as the bucket. For example, if you searched for revenue monthly yearly, ThoughtSpot would interpret monthly as month of year, rather than using the monthly bucket.

We made the following enhancements to verified Liveboards:

Previously, ThoughtSpot displayed generic error messages for connection errors on Liveboards. Now, you can see the error message received from the underlying Cloud data warehouse.

You can now see the state of query execution for any Liveboard visualization while it loads. If a visualization takes longer than three seconds to load, ThoughtSpot displays the current query execution status (executing query, waiting for connection, or processing query) to help users identify the reason for the delay.

You can now hide a column from your table without removing it from your current Search. If you hide the column you’re using to sort results, the sorting order is unchanged. To try it out, create an Answer, open the chart configuration menu gear icon, and drag the selected column to Hidden Columns. For more information, see Hide a column.

In this release, custom calendar is enabled by default for all connections, except for the following which don’t support custom calendar:

When running change analysis, you can now see additional insights. For example, ThoughtSpot will detect values that underwent the highest percentage change between the two data points defined in your analysis, and values whose share of the total changed the most. The additional insights appear below the main analysis in the change analysis pop-up window. For more information, see Change analysis.

Easily find verified Liveboards marked with banners, and icons. Sort search results to view content tagged as verified. Request verification of Liveboards and cancel requests when needed. For more information, see Verify Liveboards. For more information, see Verify Liveboards.

Previously, the summary values in ThoughtSpot pivot tables were not always calculated correctly. Enhancements to the pivot table summary calculations now ensure that the values are calculated correctly.

The new data panel experience is available for all customers in this release, and is enabled by default. In this release, you can now filter data sources by how they are tagged.

We added support for the following connections:

We now support OAuth with PKCE for Databricks.

You can now import metadata information related to your tables and columns from Atlan into ThoughtSpot. From the Data tab, you can set up a connection to Atlan to import column descriptions, column verification status, table descriptions, and table verification status. For more information, see Atlan catalog integration.

We have updated the tscli command syntax to retrieve history. For more information, see tscli get history.

Adjust Parameter values at runtime from Liveboard or Answer URLs, or using REST API v1 requests. For more information, see Runtime overrides for Parameters and Runtime Parameters.

This release introduces ThoughtSpot’s multi-tenancy feature, which allows a ThoughtSpot software instance to be logically partitioned into multiple environments called Orgs. This feature is off by default. To enable it, contact ThoughtSpot Support. For more information, see Multi-tenancy with Orgs.
