Quick filtering in Canvas Dashboard

We're thrilled to announce that we're bringing more direct interaction to our dashboards with Quick Filtering. Instead of using the filter toolbar, you can now filter, include, or exclude data points directly from the charts and tables.

๐ŸŒŸ What's Newโ€‹

With Quick Filtering capabilities, you can just right-click any data point or visualization component to filter your entire view.

Right-click to include/excludeโ€‹

Remove unusually high or low values that might skew your analysis with exclude, or spotlight specific subsets by including them. You can do this by right-click on x-axis or legend that contain the dimension value.

Or by right-click on rows header of table / pivot table

Right-click to apply Top N / Bottom N filterโ€‹

Focus on the highest or lowest ranking values with just a few clicks. You can do this by right-click on any legend that display your metric name.

Or by right-click on column header of table /pivot table

Right-click to filter by data valueโ€‹

Filter "greater than" or "less than" value directly from the chart. You can do this by right-click on any data point. Example scenarios

  • Outlier detection: You notice one sales rep with exceptionally high revenue and want to see who else exceeded the same target.
  • Benchmarking: You want to see which sales reps generated revenue above the average so you can recognize and celebrate their performance.

Or right-click on value cell of a table

Enhanced AAFs through calculation builderโ€‹

Period over period, percent of total or moving calculations are now powered by AQL, allowing you to extend it and combine it with other metrics.

[Open Beta] Create Canvas Dashboards in Personal Workspace

We are thrilled to announce that you can now save Canvas Dashboards directly to your personal workspace!

๐ŸŒŸ What's newโ€‹

  • Before: Personal workspaces only supported Quick Dashboards. To build as-code Canvas Dashboards privately, you needed admins to set up private folders in the Public workspace.
  • After: You now have both Quick Dashboards and Canvas Dashboards in your Personal workspace for a flexible, end-to-end creation experience.

๐Ÿ“ Notesโ€‹

  • This feature is currently in open beta. Functionality and availability may change as we collect feedback.
  • Personal Canvas dashboards are only accessible in Reporting. Support for personal Canvas dashboards in Development is under consideration.
  • Modeling changes can occasionally break personal dashboards. Learn how to resolve them in the dev workflow guide.

Search by Item Descriptions and Show Recently Opened Items

Our latest Search updates are now live to help you find and access content faster, focusing on better results and faster recall of your recently used items.

๐ŸŒŸ What's Newโ€‹

  • Smarter Matching: When you type to search, the system will now match keywords against both an item's Title and its Description, but you can always switch to Title-only search if needed. Previously, only the Title was searchable.
  • Faster Recall: We now display a list of your recently opened items for quick access. Jump straight back into your active projects without relying on past search keywords.

For more information, you can check our public doc here.

Configure Failure Recipients per Schedule & Alert

Weโ€™re excited to share our new feature: Configure Failure Recipients per Schedule & Alert! ๐Ÿš€

UI showing the configuration modal for a data schedule, with a new section for 'Failure Notification Recipients' where users can add email addresses.

๐ŸŒŸ The Problem Weโ€™ve Solvedโ€‹

Currently, when a scheduled dashboard delivery fails, the system sends notifications to:

  • Schedule/alert creator,
  • Dashboard/report creator,
  • And any globally-configured admin recipients.

This means everyone gets every failure notification, regardless of whether theyโ€™re responsible for that specific schedule. This leads to notification fatigue and slower incident response.

๐ŸŒŸ The Solutionโ€‹

This feature lets you add custom recipients to receive failure notifications for each individual schedule or alert, on top of the default recipients.

For more details, see our public docs on Notify Delivery Failures.

โ„น๏ธ View item's metadata from sidebar

We're excited to launch: View items' metadata directly on the Reporting sidebar by hovering on that item. This helps them browse and find their desired items much faster.

๐ŸŒŸ What's newโ€‹

  • Before: You have to click to open an item to find extra information about it.
  • After: You can now view dashboard/dataset metadata from the Reporting sidebar without having to click to open the item. This helps give more context and easier to find your targeted object.

For more details, check out our public docs here.

๐Ÿ“Š Default Dashboard Template

We're thrilled to announce that Default Dashboard Template is now available! ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐ŸŽ‰

This feature is designed specifically for admins who need to enforce brand standards and best practices across their entire organization.

๐ŸŒŸ What's Newโ€‹

  • Before: New dashboards automatically inherited the base Holistics look, meaning users had to manually spend time aligning new dashboards with your structural and brand requirements.
  • Now: Admins can define one master template that is automatically applied to every new dashboard created. This guarantees organizational consistency from the moment a user starts building their dashboard.

For full details, check our public doc here.

We hope this feature gives you the governance and speed you need to scale dashboard creation confidently. We can't wait to hear what you think! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Direct Admin Control over Personal Workspaces

We're excited to announce a major upgrade to operational governance. Soon, Admins will have direct access and full control over any user's personal workspace content, eliminating the need for mandatory impersonation.

๐ŸŒŸ Key Benefitsโ€‹

  • Eliminate impersonation friction: No more slow, inconvenient switching to manage or modify content across multiple usersโ€™ personal workspaces (especially for dependency cleanup).
  • Full Admin coverage: Admins will be able to manage or clean up content within other Admin accounts. This resolves the current limitation where Admins cannot impersonate one another.

For full detail, you can check our public doc here: Manage users' personal content.

โฐ Timelineโ€‹

We expect to release this feature by the end of December 2025.

Undo/Redo Now Supports Filter Actions

Weโ€™re excited to share that you can now undo and redo your filter actions while exploring dashboards.

โœจ What's newโ€‹

  • Undo/Redo for filters: Previously, only drill-downs and break-downs were reversible. Now, every step of your analysis โ€” from filtering to drilling down โ€” can be undone or redone, giving you more freedom to explore without worry.
  • History view: Right-click on Undo or Redo to see your complete exploration history at a glance.

โœจ Easier to Read Relationship List

We've improved the relationship list view to make it much easier to understand your data model connections at a glance.

When reviewing relationshipsโ€”especially in complex data modelsโ€”it can be challenging to quickly distinguish between model names and field names. We've added visual indicators to help you parse this information more efficiently.

โœจ What's Newโ€‹

  • Field type icons โ€” Each field now displays an icon indicating its data type, making it easier to understand the relationship at a glance
  • Visual separation โ€” Model names and field names are now clearly differentiated with color coding, where model names appear in a lighter gray while field names stand out in bold
  • Better scannability โ€” The improved layout helps you quickly navigate through long lists of relationships without getting lost in the text

๐ŸŽฏ Benefitsโ€‹

This enhancement is particularly helpful when you're working with unfamiliar data models or need to quickly verify relationship configurations across multiple tables. The visual cues reduce cognitive load and help you spot patterns or issues more quickly.

๐Ÿ“ธ Before and Afterโ€‹

Before:

Old relationship list view

After:

New relationship list view with visual indicators
