What’s new in ThoughtSpot Cloud
July 2025 10.11.0.cl
| Features marked as Beta are off by default. To enable them, contact ThoughtSpot Support. These features are not available for Free Trial. |
Why questions in Spotter Early Access
When you want to investigate further on a chart in Spotter, you can now ask direct questions like, "Why did my sales drop last month?" or "Why did sales drop in Q2?" Spotter identifies the key attributes and leverages the change analysis engine to provide a clear, natural language summary identifying the key drivers, supported by detailed visualizations. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.
For more information, see Why questions in Spotter and AI feature enablement.
Liveboard styling and grouping Beta
ThoughtSpot introduces new styling and grouping options for Liveboards. Styles can be applied to a Liveboard, a tile, or a group of tiles to improve readability, differentiate specific content, or apply organizational branding guidelines. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support.
For more information, see Liveboard grouping and Liveboard styling.
Style customization for Orgs
ThoughtSpot introduces new style customization capabilities for Orgs. If your organization uses multi-tenancy with Orgs, you can apply global style customizations on the All Orgs tab in Admin settings and this applies to all Orgs. An Org administrator can set style customizations for individual Orgs which will override the global settings.
For more information, see Style customization.
Enhanced dynamic parameters in charts Early Access
You can now use any parameter from an axis or column name of a chart in the title or description of the Answer which contains that chart. A parameter used in the title or description always displays the value of the same parameter used in the chart itself. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.
For more information, see Dynamic parameters in charts.
Filtering a Liveboard for users with limited access to its Worksheets or Models Early Access
We’ve made the following changes to how you can filter a Liveboard that uses at least one Worksheet or Model that you don’t have access to.
When viewing a Liveboard, you can now do the following:
-
Filter columns and change parameters from a Worksheet or Model you have access to. Filters and parameters from an inaccessible Worksheet or Model remain read-only.
-
Select a hidden column used as a filter from a Worksheet or Model. It only shows the selected values, and you can’t change them.
When editing a Liveboard, you can now do the following:
-
Add, edit, and remove filters and parameters from a Worksheet or Model you have access to. You can’t link filters to a Worksheet or Model that you don’t have access to.
For more information, see Liveboard filters.
Show only relevant filters and parameters on Liveboards
This feature is now on by default and available to all users. Filters and parameters that are not relevant to a tab are hidden by default when you open and view a Liveboard. You can choose to view all filters and parameters, including those that are not relevant to the tab, so that you can quickly create a new View or download the Liveboard without needing to switch tabs and apply filters individually.
For more information, see Apply filters to specific visualizations or tabs.
Add KPI to the watchlist from Liveboards and Answers
You can now add KPIs to your watchlist directly from the Liveboard or Answers page. Click the More menu icon 
in the upper-right corner of any Liveboard KPI or saved Answer, then select Add to watchlist. This allows you to track important KPIs without leaving the page you’re viewing.
KPI monitor alerts in Slack Early Access
Monitor alerts can send alert triggers directly to Slack to ensure better visibility and immediate action within your workflows. You can set up notifications to send to Slack when you create an alert. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.
For more information, see KPI monitor alerts in Slack.
Copy formulas and parameters in Search data
You can now easily copy formulas and parameters in Search data. The copied object opens a pop-up window so you can easily edit and save as a new object.
For more information, see Copy a formula and Copy a parameter.
Reorder parameters in Liveboards and Answers
This feature is now enabled by default and available to all users. You can now edit a Liveboard or Answer to reorder the parameters along with filters and save your changes. The new order is reflected when anyone opens the Liveboard or Answer.
For more information, see Reorder parameters in Liveboards and Answers.
