August 2024 release notes

These new and enhanced features of ThoughtSpot Cloud were released in August 2024.

ThoughtSpot Cloud 10.1.0.cl

For the Analyst

Import and export sets using TML Beta

You can now use TML to import and export column sets and query sets in ThoughtSpot. For more information, see TML for Sets.

For the Business User

Anomaly-based alerts Early Access

You can now receive alerts when data of KPIs you are subscribed to fall outside the predicted value range. When creating an alert, you can specify the time and frequency at which ThoughtSpot checks the KPI’s data against the values predicted by ML models trained on the data. For example, you can create an alert for a sales weekly KPI, and specify that ThoughtSpot compare the values every Monday at 5 PM. You may also add individual subscribers to the alert. If the KPI’s data falls outside the predicted range, ThoughtSpot sends an alert to your email and, if applicable, your subscribers' emails.

For more information, see Create an anomaly alert.

Keywords "of" and "percentage of"

The "of" and "percentage of" keywords are now on by default and available to all users. You can use the "of" and "percentage of" keywords to answer questions related to mix, contribution, share of, percentage, and total ratios. These keywords help answer questions such as, "What is the share of a certain store’s sales as a percentage of the regional whole?" To try out this feature, enter a search phrase in the search bar containing the keyword, such as sales percentage of store region, and press Go.

For more information, see Keywords: Of and Percentage of.

Sort and filter fragment and query feedback

You can now sort and filter columns in the Sage Coach fragment and query feedback pages. You can also search for specific values for worksheet, feedback provider, and edited by to further narrow your selection.

Semi-additive measures with first and last values

Semi-additive measures with first and last values are now available to all users and on by default. A semi-additive measure, also known as snapshot data, is a measure that is usually aggregated for all attributes except for date and time. For certain measures, like inventory, you want to know what the value was at the beginning or end of a period. In that case, you can use the last_value function to find the inventory at the end of a month, rather than aggregating all values over the month. Similarly, you can use the first_value function to find out your stock at the beginning of a month.

For the Data Engineer

For the IT/Ops Engineer

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.

Org-specific URLs Beta

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.

For more information, see Multi-tenancy with Orgs.

For the Developer
