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.

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.

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.
