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.

๐Ÿ“… Release Timelineโ€‹

  • Phase 1: Dashboards in Development (Released): Default templates are now automatically applied to all new dashboards created in Development environment.
  • Phase 2: Dashboards in Reporting (Coming soon): We're currently working on extending this feature to dashboards created in Reporting environment. Stay tuned for updates!

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

Search by Item Descriptions and Show Recently Opened Items

We are excited to share our upcoming Search updates this month that will significantly improve how you find and access content. The focus is 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.

We expect to release this feature in November 2025.

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, completely removing 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.

Create Canvas Dashboards in Personal Workspaces

We are thrilled to announce that you will soon be able to save Canvas Dashboards directly to your personal workspace!

๐ŸŒŸ What's newโ€‹

  • Before: Personal workspaces only support Quick Dashboards. To create as-code Canvas Dashboards privately, you need to wait for admins to set up private folders in the Public workspace.
  • After: You will have access to both Quick Dashboards and Canvas Dashboards in your Personal workspace, providing a complete and flexible dashboard creation experience.

๐ŸŒŸ Key Benefitsโ€‹

  • Instant creation & Full user autonomy: Stop waiting for administrative setup. Youโ€™ll have full user autonomy to instantly create and save your private Canvas Dashboards.
  • Git Control: All Canvas Dashboards created in your Personal workspace will be automatically trackable, versionable, and manageable through Git, giving you complete version control.

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

๐Ÿ”จ Customize the Dimension List for Drill Down and Break Down Features

When a user clicks "drill down" or "break down," the default dimension list displays all available dimensions from the dataset. Holistics allows you to customize this dimension list to enhance your users' experience.

For example, you can highlight the most relevant dimensions and organize them into groups such as Locations, Products, and User Demographics as shown in the video below.

See details of how to customize it here: Drill down & Break down | Customize the dimension list

๐Ÿ”ข Customize Tables for View Underlying Data

When viewing underlying data, the default table shown may not always be relevant to users' needs. Now, you can โ€‹โ€‹customize different views of the underlying dataโ€‹ to enhance your users' experience.

In this example, when examining the underlying data for the Revenue metric, users can select from different views, such as Orders, Users, or Products.

See details of how to customize it here: View underlying data | Customize the underlying views

๐Ÿ“ฆ Archive Recommendations

Keeping your workspace clean is important, but determining which content is actually unused is the challenging part. We are excited to introduce Archive Recommendations, a smart feature that automatically identifies inactive content so that you can archive with confidence.

โญ What's new?โ€‹

Archive Recommendations analyzes your workspace and surfaces content that shows signs of being ready for archiving:

  • Dashboard: No views in the last 30 days
  • Dataset: No direct views or no connected dashboard views in the last 30 days.
