Command palette

You can now access anything in ThoughtSpot from a single keystroke. The command palette (Cmd + K on Mac / Ctrl + K on Windows and Linux) is a global command center that unifies navigation, search, and actions across the ThoughtSpot platform. Instead of switching between menus, list pages, and contextual controls, you can find content, trigger workflows, and navigate to any part of the product — all from one place.

With the command palette, you can:

  • Search across Liveboards, Answers, Models, and more in one place.

  • Launch a new Answer, Liveboard, or Spotter chat.

  • Jump to any section of ThoughtSpot directly, from Home to Admin settings.

  • Type your data question and send it straight to Spotter.

  • Press forward slash (/) to filter your search by Liveboards, Answers, Admin Settings, Create, Spotter, Models, Tables, and Collections.

  • Search results highlight matching terms for faster scanning, and visuals make it easier to understand what’s happening as you search.
