ThoughtSpot Cloud Documentation

ThoughtSpot introduces Spotter shortcuts that allow you to select from existing verified data constructs, including columns, filter values, and search data keywords. These shortcuts allow you to mix natural language and deterministic inputs when using Spotter. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support.

For more information, see Spotter shortcuts.

You can now add a parameter as a variable in the x and y-axis labels and column names of an Answer. When you select a different parameter value in the Answer, previously only the data changed. Now contextual information (such as axis name, column header, and legends) also updates to reflect parameter selected. Any place a parameter is used in Liveboards or Answers automatically displays the current information associated with the selected parameter value. For example, if you have a parameter which contains three possible values (Price, Shipping Cost, and Quantity), when you select Price, the information about the price of items is displayed. When you select Shipping Cost, the information updates to show shipping-related information, and so on.

In this release, we introduce a new way of adding multiple measures to pivot table charts called blended axes. With blended axes, you can group measures and control them through a system-defined chip called Values in the chart configuration settings. This chip acts like an attribute, with the different measures as its unique values. You can also place measures in rows of pivot tables instead of columns. This makes it possible to have more combinations and configurations of charts, including slicing the color for different measures, comparing multiple measures together, and more customizable pivot configurations.

You can now set KPI alerts to trigger when a selected attribute changes. This can include changes in the value of the attribute, such as an increase in sales by percentage by state, or a scheduled alert to trigger on a weekly basis.

For example, if you wanted to create an alert for a KPI tracking sales of different phones by brand, you could choose the intended brands as attributes and set an alert to be notified when sales for those specific brands dropped by 5%. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.

For more information, see Create an alert by attributes.

The following changes to change analysis for KPI charts are now available to all users and on by default:

For more information, see KPI change analysis.

In this release ThoughtSpot supports the following new system languages:

ThoughtSpot now supports bilingual keywords for the Japanese locale. When your system language is set to Japanese, you can now enter keywords in either English or Japanese while searching.

ThoughtSpot introduces whole number formatting for Japanese Yen (JPY) currency. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support. For more information, see Set number, date, and currency formats.

ThoughtSpot Liveboard PDFs include a cover page and filter pages that contain information about the filters applied. You can now use the PDF Options checkboxes to choose to include or exclude these page when downloading or scheduling a Liveboard PDF. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support.

+ For more information, see Download a Liveboard as a PDF.

ThoughtSpot introduces enhanced number formatting controls for measures that are marked as attributes in the data source. Use this enhanced formatting to ensure that measures marked as attributes are formatted with the appropriate number format.

For more information, see Set number, date, and currency formats.

To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support.

ThoughtSpot introduces a feature to override displayed {Null} and {Empty} values with a customizable value. This allows you to define how null data values appear to better meet your organization’s specific needs.

For more information, see How NULL and blank values are displayed.

To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support.

You can now create your own charts in ThoughtSpot using the Muze charting library. A developer can create new chart types by writing the code in the code builder. To enable this feature, contact your ThoughtSpot administrator.

Model knowledge cards are now available to all users and on by default. With knowledge cards, you can now see more detail about tables and columns before you add them to a Model. To view the knowledge card, click the knowledge card button , and then click the table or column. For more information, see Knowledge cards.

You can now migrate feedback between Models using the feedback TML file. Select the more options icon on the Model and hover over the TML section to import or export the TML file containing your feedback.

For more information, see Migrate Spotter feedback using TMl and TML for Spotter feedback.

This feature provides the ability to define a column name or description alias in a Worksheet or Model which allows column names and descriptions to be displayed in a supported system language. When enabled, column names and descriptions in the Search Data and Answer interface display in the system language selected by the user in their ThoughtSpot user profile. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support.

For more information, see Column and description aliases for localization.

Join cardinality change for global joins is now available to all users and on by default. You can now change the cardinality of a join (1:1, 1:Many, Many:1) without needing to delete and remake the join. For more information, see Change join cardinality.

ThoughtSpot now distinguishes between regular query consumption and Spotter queries within the Query Stats Worksheet. For more information, see System Worksheets, tables, and views.

We now support OAuth with PKCE for Denodo.

We redesigned and streamlined the process to create a Connection. Set up your Connection in four easy steps by selecting a data source, configuring the Connection, selecting databases, and selecting tables. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.

Bridge provides options to securely connect your data source with ThoughtSpot Cloud, as an alternative to PrivateLink, VPC Peering, or VPN tunnels. We added support for Bridge for the following connectors:
