10.9.0.cl Release Notes

With Spotter Agent’s powerful new capabilities, it’s easier than ever to explore your data and get answers that drive confident decisions.

You can now hover over query tokens in Spotter to see background information on measures, attributes, formulas, and filters.

When you edit a Worksheet or Model that has Spotter enabled, you now see a Spotter optimization tab where you can click tiles to enable indexing, ensure date values are stored in the correct format, and optimize column types. You must have edit access to a Worksheet or Model to enable Spotter optimization.

In certain cases, Spotter may show a warning in the answer tokens. If a data set contains multiple columns with similar names, or if it’s unclear whether you want a count or a unique count of a measure, for example, Spotter may ask you to clarify its interpretation of your query. You can click the tile to see what Spotter found ambiguous about the query, and select the correct interpretation.

ThoughtSpot for PowerPoint is an add-in that allows you to insert charts and data visualizations into your PowerPoint presentation. Just connect to your ThoughtSpot instance, find a chart or visualization, and add it to your PowerPoint presentation. For more information, see ThoughtSpot add-in for Microsoft PowerPoint.

Date phrase keywords allow you to search for combinations of date buckets, rather than simply yesterday or monthly. For example, you can now search for sales in the last week for each month in the following languages:

When clicking the ThoughtSpot link in an attribute alert email, you now see conditional formatting on the corresponding KPI in ThoughtSpot. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.

AI Highlights are now available to all users. With AI Highlights, you get quick insights on how top metrics have changed in your Liveboard, dramatically reducing the time to derive insights from your KPIs. To enable this feature, contact your administrator.

When you create a Liveboard schedule, you can now receive AI Highlights in the scheduled email. For each KPI, the highlights define the top contributors for any change in the KPI value. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support.

We have added support for last_value_in_period and first_value_in_period functions. These functions are useful for semi-additive measures, measures that typically return a single value per time period rather than being additive across time. For example, if you want to find out the last value for full-time employee headcount for the current date, you can use the formula, fxFTE = last_value_in_period(sum(full_time_employee), query_groups(), {date}). To enable this feature, contact your administrator.

When you search on a Worksheet or Model containing a chasm or fan trap on Spotter, you can click the Preview data button to preview the underlying tables and columns. Click the names of tables in the left-hand menu to navigate between them. To enable this feature, contact ThoughtSpot Support.

Feedback migration is now on by default and available to all users. 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. You can also select feedback questions or terms from the Spotter coaching pages in the Data workspace and export them directly. For more information, see Migrate Spotter feedback using TML and TML for Spotter feedback.

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.

We have made the following changes to connection configurations for Google BigQuery:
