26.9.0.cl Release Notes

We have redesigned the experience in Spotter 3 to look more streamlined and conversational. No functional changes have been made to how Spotter defines its reasoning, the "thinking" behind the answer. The search bar options have been simplified, but no functionality has been removed.

You can now pin chats to the top of the view in the Spotter side menu, so they’ll be easy to find. Pinned chats are organized by which chat has the most recent activity-- most recently interacted with, or most recently pinned. For more information, see Pin a chat.

In addition to the thumbs up and down icons below a Spotter answer, click the copy response icon or the double-check response to create a copy of an answer or prompt Spotter to verify its reasoning. For more information, see Getting started with Spotter.

Spreadsheet puts a familiar, editable grid directly on your live data. Open any ThoughtSpot data model, table, or dataset, and every column and formula you add runs as a live query against the governed model, with no export and no stale copy. Formula columns persist as governed logic, while sort, filter, conditional formatting, and text and number formatting let you shape the grid on the fly. Save your work as an Answer that stays searchable, shareable, and governed like anything else in ThoughtSpot.

ThoughtSpot query cancellation for Search data is now generally available (GA). You can now stop in-progress queries on your cloud data warehouse (CDW) when you change or abandon a search. This reduces unnecessary CDW spend and lets you iterate faster.

You can now encode a continuous measure, like profit margin or revenue, as a color gradient directly in the following charts in the new charts library:

You can now use data to drive the outline (border) color of chart marks such as bars, arcs, and points. Bind a field to the outline color encoding to automatically generate an ordinal color palette or a continuous gradient, complete with legend and tooltip support. Outline width and dash style remain configurable per data point. Existing outline configurations are fully backward compatible.

ThoughtSpot now renders a horizontal scrollbar across all chart types. For pivot tables, this removes the previous row-header column width cap, so attribute labels render at their full natural width instead of being truncated. The scrollbar behavior is consistent across chart types and viewport sizes. For more information, see Understanding charts.

Collections now support favorites and filters. You can mark a collection as a favorite directly from the Collections page a dedicated favorites column lets you see starred status at a glance. You can also filter collection contents by type or author using the column headers, consistent with the filtering experience on the Answers and Liveboards pages.

Spotter memory from Liveboards and conversations is now generally available (GA). Additionally, we have added a regenerate option to refresh your memory in the Memory sources page in order to stay in line with changes to underlying Liveboards. For more information, see Add memory from conversations, Add memory from Liveboards, and Spotter personal memory.

We have replaced the previous + Add to Coaching button with a Remember this button. If you click Remember this below a Spotter answer, it triggers a command for Spotter to add the answer’s specifications directly to memory. You see a preview of the exact definitions it adds to conversational memory. For more information, see Add memory from conversations.

To enable, disable, or add custom connectors, navigate to a Spotter conversation, click the Settings icon in the lower left corner, and select Connectors. This option has been moved from the ThoughtSpot AI settings page. Note that you can only access the Connectors page in the primary Org. Connectors set up in the primary Org are accessible from all Orgs in a cluster. For more information, see Integrate your tools into Spotter with Connectors.

You can now prompt the creation of AI context from the Spotter optimization tab on a Model. Note that you must have edit access to a Model to create AI context. If you enable Spotter on a Model, it triggers AI context generation automatically. For more information, see AI Context.

The Admin portal now preserves your navigation state across browser refreshes and through back and forward navigation. This feature is generally available (GA). Previously, a refresh dropped you back to a default screen and the back button exited the Admin portal entirely. This could be especially disruptive for cluster admins working across All Orgs and Primary Org view modes. Now the browser URL is the source of truth for the active admin tab, screen, and Org context. This means that you can link and bookmark admin pages so that they are restored exactly where you left off after a refresh.

Cluster admins can now view and manage Early Access flags that are not Org-aware directly from Admin > Feature Management > Early Access. Previously, these flags were only accessible via CLI and did not appear in the Feature Management UI.

You can now add a Scheduled Liveboards process type to a connection configuration, so scheduled Liveboard queries can use a separate warehouse, credentials, or non-OAuth authentication method instead of the parent connection’s defaults.

Administrators can now configure more flexible indexing schedules for search and SpotIQ indexing directly within the admin portal. Options include hourly intervals, daily runs, specific weekly days, and monthly dates. For more information, see Index settings.

Administrators can now manage and remove parameterization on tables and connections directly from the ThoughtSpot UI when publishing is enabled. From the tables or Connections page, administrators can remove variable bindings from one or more objects or use the new Manage Parameters option to view, edit, add, or remove individual field-to-variable mappings without starting over. To use this feature, publishing must be enabled by ThoughtSpot Support. For more information, see Unparameterize metadata objects.

Aggregate-aware query execution is now generally available (GA). Search data automatically switches from detailed Models to associated aggregate Models based on query granularity, reducing cloud costs and improving query latency without affecting insight accuracy. For more information, see Aggregate-aware Model switching.

We have upgraded the Databricks OSS driver to version 3.4.1. For more information, see Cloud data warehouse driver details for connections.

We now support x509 authentication for Databricks and Snowflake.

In this release, all charts in the new charts library and custom charts can be cached. For information about how to enable caching, see: Browser caching for faster Liveboard loads
