December 2024 release notes

When you run change analysis on a chart, ThoughtSpot now surfaces a summary of all changes in significant attributes between the selected points. You can click View details to see the changes by attribute, or select Customize to change which measures or attributes to analyze. Note that when you run change analysis on a chart created with ratio keywords like average, you see the previous change analysis interface, one attribute at a time.

Previously, time-series KPI charts had limited options when comparing to past periods. A weekly KPI could be compared against the previous week, the previous month’s same week, the previous quarter’s same week, or the previous year’s same week. Now, you can set a custom point in data against which ThoughtSpot compares the most recent data point, any number of weeks ago. Your chosen comparison point persists for all viewers of the Liveboard. To enable this feature, contact your administrator. For more information, see KPI charts.

ThoughtSpot users can now define groups for included query values using conditions in Query sets. Conditions allow you to create groups using operators, to specify the parameters of the group. To enable this feature, contact your administrator. For more information, see Query sets.

We are introducing a new pivot table chart. To access this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support. This new chart has improvements in the following areas:

Administrators can now enable or disable the display of the org name and Org switcher for users. By default, the org name and switcher are visible to all users. Cluster administrators can modify this setting so that users with only a single org do not see the org name and switcher. For more information, see Orgs administration.

We have streamlined the design of Liveboard headers to ensure maximum visibility of Liveboard visualizations no matter the size of the screen. For more information, see Liveboards.

We made the following enhancements to Spotter:

With ThoughtSpot Connected Sheets, a free add-on for Google Sheets, you can now update your existing search results to get the latest data without having to enter the search query again. You can do this for the current sheet or all sheets. For details, see ThoughtSpot Connected Sheets.

Anomaly-based alerts are now on by default and available to all users. You can receive alerts when data of KPIs you are subscribed to fall outside the predicted value range.

You can now authenticate a Databricks connection using a service principal and OAuth secret.

Admin users now have more control on how users sign in to Connections authenticated using OAuth when the connection authentication has expired. Previously, the Sign in with OAuth button appeared only on Liveboards built on the Connection. Now, users can access the sign-in flow from Search Data and Answers as well.

You can now change the cardinality of a join (1:1, 1:Many, Many:1) without needing to delete and remake the join. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.

You can now use Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) to use your own encryption keys to give you more control over your data security in the cloud. For more information, see Bring your own key (BYOK).

ThoughtSpot’s schema viewer connection picker is now on by default and available to all users. You can now use the dropdown or search to select your connection in the schema viewer.
