💭 Version Control

We've implemented a new version control system that allows users to create drafts, and publish dashboards to different environments. This allows you to make changes and updates to your dashboard, and test out new iterations before pushing to production.

🔘 Toggle Switch

Our new toggle switch component gives your end users buttons to quickly change parameters on your dashboard such as viewing day over the past month, week, or day or grouping by different fields.

‍

⏹️ Container Component

New container components allow users to create grouped visualizations and metrics. Show all relevant metrics together in order to organize your dashboard and convey certain insights.

🗓️ Set default relative date ranges

Set default date ranges on your dashboard to show only data from the past day, week, month, 90 days, or more. For other dropdowns and multi-selects, you can now set default values that are automatically selected upon load also.

🔀 Support for multiple data sources

Connect multiple data sources with identical schemas to test across staging and production databases, or support systems where customer data is spread across multiple databases.

Other improvements

• Improved settings page for user management
• Improved drag and drop functionality for smoother dashboard creation
• Further improvements to our SQL editor including autocomplete and setting variables while testing queries

‍

Heat Map: You can configure this by dragging a new data panel and selecting the heat map icon in the visualization tab. This will allow you to visualize two dimensional data in a clean and simple format!‍

Multi-select Dropdown: This new dashboard input element functions like the dropdown element but allows your users to select multiple options to filter the dashboard by multiple categories.‍

Responsive Dashboard Layout: Dashboards are now responsive to the screen size that your users are viewing the dashboard on. On a mobile screen, the dashboard will re-arrange automatically to better suit the smaller screen.

⭐️ Other requested features

• Default variable values: You are now able to set default values for any variable in your dashboard. You can pass those values in via the embedded components “variable” property, or add them as URL parameters. This allows you to show users a pre-filtered version of the dashboard.
• Chart value formatting: Values in line and bar charts can now be formatted to represent dollars, percents, and more!
• Data Panel Editing Improvements: It is now easier to move between data panels on the dashboard edit page when creating your dashboard. You can edit a data panel with a single click and then leave edit mode by clicking the escape key or clicking onto the blank dashboard canvas. If you made any changes to the data panel before exiting, it will ask you to confirm that you want to abandon your changes.
• Text in data tables now wraps rather than truncating so that your users can see all the data they need. You can also set the width of columns in a data table so that it displays just the way you want for your users.
  

🐛 Bugs that we fixed:

• Changing the color of the line chart wasn’t updating in real time in the dashboard editor
• Some small edge cases while editing pie charts was leading to crashing.
• Some design tweaks to the data panel editor to streamline the UI.
• When creating custom variables in the dashboard, if you clicked save twice it would save two versions of the same variables.

Our dashboard builder now allows you to view customer specific versions of your dashboard. This allows you to see exactly what your customers will see directly in the dashboard builder.

This will enable you to configure the dashboards with your actual customers' data in mind. It also means you can build dashboards quicker because queries will load faster and you will be able to iterate faster.
