September 2022 release notes

You can now customize the colors used for heatmap and treemap charts. Prior to this release, the only available heatmap color was teal in various shades, and the only available treemap color was green in various shades. Now you can choose any color in your color palette. For more information, see Heatmap charts and Treemap charts.

ThoughtSpot now supports separating Liveboards into multiple tabs. This allows you to group specific visualizations together within a Liveboard. For example, you may have a Sales Liveboard that contains top-level KPIs and more detailed charts. You can create a tab for the top-level KPIs for executives to view, and a tab for the more detailed charts that managers need to monitor. For more information, refer to Liveboard tabs.

Threshold-based alerts are now GA and on by default. You can now use the Monitor feature to receive alerts when your KPI satisfies a given threshold condition. For example, create a condition to receive an alert when your Sales KPI becomes greater than 200,000, or when your KPI for Sales weekly increases by 2%. For more information, see Create a threshold-based alert.

You can now sync data directly from an Answer or custom SQL view to an external business app like Google Sheets, Slack, or Microsoft Teams. Using ThoughtSpot Sync, you can push insights directly to your app, notify your teams, and view data in context. ThoughtSpot Sync automatically establishes a secure pipeline to the destination app and thus eliminates the need for building custom connectors to external apps. For more information, see Sync data from ThoughtSpot to external apps.

ThoughtSpot now supports multiple contains, begins_with, and ends_with phrases in vs queries. For example, you can now have a versus query such as state name begins_with 'a' state name begins_with 'c' vs state name begins_with 'd'.

This release includes several enhancements to all geo charts:

Denodo connections now support OAuth. For details, see Configure OAuth for a Denodo connection.

This release brings improvements in how ThoughtSpot handles user tokens for Snowflake connections configured with Snowflake OAuth. If a user’s refresh token becomes invalid, the administrator or author of the connection can now run the Invalidate Tokens command to allow the user to re-authenticate and regain access to the insights provided by the connection, and the connection itself. Also, in this release the Role field has been added to the Snowflake OAuth connection details page, allowing a role to be added when the connection is created and changed when a connection is edited.

Now you have a quick and easy way to complete one-time data loads of small files that are not present in your cloud data warehouse. You can now upload a CSV file to the database of your Snowflake connection that can be joined to other tables or Worksheets in your connection. Once your administrator enables this feature, go to Data > Utilities, and click Upload CSV.

In this release, ThoughtSpot switched to a new, industry-standard cloud authentication method through Okta. ThoughtSpot now powers its internal authentication with Okta, which is the industry-leading authentication platform. This change is internal and has no impact on customers. After we enable this feature by default, all user authentication will automatically use the internal Okta service.
