10.8.0.cl Release Notes

ThoughtSpot introduces Spotter shortcuts that allow you to select from existing verified data constructs, including columns, filter values, and search data keywords. These shortcuts allow you to mix natural language and deterministic inputs when using Spotter. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support.

You can now add a parameter as a variable to the table header, column names, and axis names of a chart. Any references to the parameter in a Liveboard or Answer automatically update to show the current value of the parameter.

In this release, we introduce a new way of adding multiple measures to pivot table charts called blended axes. With blended axes, you can group measures and control them through a system-defined chip called Values in the chart configuration settings. This chip acts like an attribute, with the different measures as its unique values. You can place measures anywhere across rows and columns in your pivot table. You can also place measures in rows of pivot tables instead of columns. This makes it possible to have more combinations and configurations of charts, and compare multiple measures together.

You can now set KPI alerts to trigger when a selected attribute changes. This can include changes in the value of the attribute, such as an increase in sales by percentage by state, or a scheduled alert to trigger on a weekly basis.

The following changes to change analysis for KPI charts are now available to all users and on by default:

In this release ThoughtSpot supports the following new system languages:

ThoughtSpot now supports bilingual keywords for the Japanese locale. When your system language is set as Japanese, you can now enter keywords in either English or Japanese while searching.

The following new features are available in iterative change analysis:

ThoughtSpot introduces whole number formatting for Japanese Yen (JPY) currency. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support.

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 page when downloading or scheduling a Liveboard PDF. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support.

ThoughtSpot introduces enhanced number formatting controls for measures that are marked as attributes in the data source. Use this enhanced formatting to ensure that measures marked as attributes are formatted with the appropriate number format. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support.

You can now migrate feedback between Models using the feedback TML file. Select the more options icon on the Model and hover over the TML section to import or export the TML file containing your feedback.

Leverage ThoughtSpot’s in-house charting library, Muze, to build custom charts on the fly. A developer can create new chart types by writing the code for them in the code builder. To enable this feature, contact your ThoughtSpot administrator.

ThoughtSpot introduces a feature to override displayed {Null} and {Empty} values with a customizable value. This allows you to define how null data values appear to better meet your organization’s specific needs. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support.

This feature provides the ability to define a column name or description alias in a Worksheet or Model which allows column names and descriptions to be displayed in a supported system language. When enabled, column names and descriptions in the Search Data and Answer interface display in the system language selected by the user in their ThoughtSpot user profile. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support.

ThoughtSpot now displays the chart type when you view the SQL query used to generate the chart. For more information, see Query SQL.

We now support OAuth with PKCE for Denodo. For more information, see Add a Denodo connection.

We redesigned and streamlined the process to create a Connection. Set up your Connection in four easy steps by selecting a data source, configuring the Connection, selecting databases, and selecting tables. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.

Bridge provides options to securely connect your data source with ThoughtSpot Cloud, as an alternative to PrivateLink, VPC Peering, or VPN tunnels. We added support for Bridge for the following connectors:

ThoughtSpot now distinguishes between regular query consumption and Spotter queries within the Query Stats Worksheet.

Authenticating your cloud data warehouse (CDW) with cookies disabled is now available for all users and enabled by default. Previously, you would encounter a 404 error and be unable to connect if cookies were disabled.

Join cardinality change for global joins is now available to all users and on by default. You can now change the cardinality of a join (1:1, 1:Many, Many:1) without needing to delete and remake the join.

A cluster administrator within an org has the same capabilities as the org’s administrator. Connections created by the cluster administrator are not visible to org administrator. All other entities, including tables, models, and any other dependent objects are visible to the org administrator.

With the introduction of multifactor authentication (MFA) in ThoughtSpot, customers are prompted to review and acknowledge a new end-user license agreement (EULA). This EULA includes information about the risks associated with disabling MFA. You are prompted to review this EULA when ThoughtSpot introduces MFA support to your cluster. You are also prompted to review this EULA if you disable MFA on an existing cluster.

ThoughtSpot now supports multifactor authentication (MFA) for customers using local authentication powered by Enhanced IAM with IAM v2. Use MFA to enable secure access to your ThoughtSpot instance for your local auth users by introducing an additional authentication factor configurable at the cluster level. We support Okta Verify, Google Authenticator, and Email-based time-based one-time passcode (TOTP) authentication with ThoughtSpot MFA.

The Early Access features page for administrators has been redesigned to allow an administrator to select multiple early access features and enable them all at the same time.
