AI auto-translation for Liveboards and Answers Beta
We now support locale-specific translations for all written text on saved Answers and Liveboards, apart from column names. Translations are matched with the locale chosen in the user profile. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support.
Collections Beta
Collections in ThoughtSpot are organizational containers that can group and manage heterogeneous ThoughtSpot objects into navigable hierarchies. These objects can be Liveboards, Answers, data models, tables, and even other Collections. Collections help with content organization, curated and structured content sharing, easier collaboration, and access control.
Key features of Collections include:
-
Objects of different kinds can be put in the same collection. A Collection can contain Liveboards, Answers, data objects, and nested Collections.
-
Collections in ThoughtSpot are hierarchical and can be nested to mirror organizational structures. This hierarchy supports both content organization and granular sharing at any level of the Collection. The system enables users to group, share, and manage access to content at any level of the hierarchy.
-
Access to the Collection is independent of access to the objects it contains.
-
Removing an object from a Collection does not delete the object itself; it only removes the association between the object and the Collection.
Rerun queries in Search data Early Access
This functionality allows you to execute the same search query again without needing to refresh the browser or modify the query, and update results with the latest data.
With this feature, you can simply click 
to rerun the query, which is useful for testing data model changes, formula updates, or database reloads. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support.
Liveboard styling and grouping Early Access
ThoughtSpot introduces new styling and grouping options for Liveboards. Styles can be applied to a Liveboard, a tile, or a group of tiles to improve readability, differentiate specific content, or apply organizational branding guidelines. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.
Filtering a Liveboard for users with limited access to its Models
Filtering a Liveboard for users with limited access to its Models is now enabled by default. We’ve made the following changes to how you can filter a Liveboard that uses at least one Model that you don’t have access to.
When viewing a Liveboard, you can now do the following:
-
Filter columns and change parameters from a Model you have access to. Filters and parameters from an inaccessible Model remain read-only.
-
Select a hidden column used as a filter from a Model. It only shows the selected values, and you can’t change them.
When editing a Liveboard, you can now do the following:
-
Add, edit, and remove filters and parameters from a Model you have access to. You can’t link filters to a Model that you don’t have access to.
Download privilege split Early Access
Make a copy in the Search data panel
You can now copy formulas, parameters and sets in the Search data panel. This saves time and eliminates the errors that can be caused when copying and pasting.
New chart settings experience Early Access
A fully redesigned chart settings panel with smarter layout and easier access. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.
Include or exclude cover and filter pages from a Liveboard PDF
The option to exclude cover and filter pages from Liveboard PDFs is now on by default. ThoughtSpot Liveboard PDFs include a cover page and filter pages that contain information about the filters applied. You can now use the PDF Options checkboxes to choose to include or exclude these pages when downloading or scheduling a Liveboard PDF. Cover and filter pages can be excluded for a schedule or download by the user. An administrator can also set cover and filter pages to be included or excluded by default in Admin settings under Downloads & Schedules.
PNG screenshots in scheduled emails Early Access
You can now view a snapshot of a Liveboard tab directly within your scheduled email, without opening the attachment or clicking a link to view it in ThoughtSpot. Currently only one tab’s snapshot can be embedded in the email.
Other features and enhancements
AI context for Models
AI context for Models is now on by default. You can now add AI context to columns in any Model where you have Can Edit access. This context helps Spotter better interpret a column and its values, using this knowledge to differentiate between similar columns and answer your data questions more accurately. You can auto-generate this context automatically with a single click to get started.
Unlike Spotter context added to reference questions, which helps with similar queries, AI context for each column helps Spotter choose the correct columns and values for all queries.
Data model instructions
Data model instructions are now on by default. You can now teach Spotter core concepts, default behaviors, and specific data nuances by adding natural language instructions directly to a data model. These standalone directives act as global rules for Spotter to follow. For example, you can create a rule that makes Spotter automatically apply a "last 30 days" date filter if a user’s query doesn’t specify a time frame.
Create your own charts with Muze Studio Early Access
Leverage ThoughtSpot’s in-house charting library, Muze, to build custom charts on the fly. Developers can create new chart types by using the code builder. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.
Link parameters across Models Early Access
Personal Access Token (PAT) authentication for Snowflake
We now support Personal Access Token authentication for Snowflake.
Databricks CSV upload
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 Databricks connection that can be joined to other tables or Models in your connection. To use this feature, go to Data > Utilities, and click Upload CSV.
BYOK implementation
Indexing queries default frequency change to weekly
The default indexing frequency has been changed from daily to weekly. Administrators can change this frequency.
