Features marked as Beta are off by default. To enable them, contact ThoughtSpot Support. |
Natural language search and object search
Natural language search and object search are now separated.

For any questions or concerns, contact ThoughtSpot Support.
Manage tags for Answers and Liveboards
You can now manage all your Answer and Liveboard tags from one convenient window. Just click the Manage tags button at the top of your list of Liveboards or Answers, then create, edit, and delete tags. To delete and edit tags you must have administrator privileges or the can manage tags role if RBAC is enabled. For more information, see Use tags to organize.
Compact Liveboard header Early Access
We have streamlined the design of Liveboard headers to ensure maximum visibility of Liveboard visualizations no matter the size of the screen. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.
Create an alert from the Watchlist on the home page Early Access
You can now create alerts directly from the Watchlist on the home page.
For more information, see Home page and Monitor Key Performance Indicators in your data.
Portuguese (Brazil) keywords
We have updated the Portuguese date keyword synonyms.
Analyst Studio Beta
ThoughtSpot introduces Analyst Studio, where you can write SQL queries to create reusable Datasets. You can set schedules to refresh Datasets, or publish them to the Data Workspace, where you can join multiple Datasets to query as a whole. ThoughtSpot’s enhanced identity and access management (IAMv2) allows users with the Can manage/access analyst studio privilege to navigate to Analyst Studio seamlessly from the Analyst Studio tab or app switcher.
For more information, see Analyst Studio and Understand RBAC and privileges.
Liveboard schedule available to all users Early Access
ThoughtSpot introduces access to Liveboard schedules on the home page. Users can now see all Liveboard schedules that they are subscribed to in a new section on the home page. From this page, you can edit Liveboard schedules that you created. Administrators can edit the Liveboard schedule for all schedules from this page.
For more information, see New home page and persona-based navigation.
Other features and enhancements
Monitor the application of row-level security
You can now track whether or not row-level security is applied to queries. Risk and compliance analysts can track the volume of queries with row-level security applied versus those without. A row-level security tag is included in the sql query. This provides the ability to determine the number of queries that have included row-level security via the underlying database.
Each query log contains a comment as follows:
isRLSApplied: true/false.
Allow only ThoughtSpot users and groups to be added to schedules
ThoughtSpot schedules can be configured to prevent new and existing schedules from being sent to external emails. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support.
For more information, see Schedule a Liveboard job
Categorization for Connections Early Access
You can now choose to sort Connections by type rather than order added to ThoughtSpot. To enable this feature, contact your administrator. For more information, see Categorizing Connections.
Org-specific URLs Early Access
ThoughtSpot introduces Org-specific URLs. URLs in emails now include Org context so that users are taken directly to the correct Liveboard in the correct Org even if they belong to multiple Orgs. You can also move between different browser tabs that point to different Orgs.
Local authentication support with IAMv2 Early Access
ThoughtSpot allows customers to enable or disable local authentication at the Org and cluster levels. To enable local authentication at the cluster level, administrators require the Can manage authentication privilege. To enable local authentication at the Org level, contact ThoughtSpot Support.
Org level settings override cluster level settings. |
For more information, see Managing local authentication.
Option to set new navigation and homepage experience as default Early Access
Administrators now have the ability to set the new navigation and homepage experience as the default UI for all users of the cluster, if it is enabled for the cluster. This feature is available in the Admin > Early access features page. For more information, see Enable Early Access features.
