What's New

Dashboards are essential for staying on top of your key metrics. Yet, they are often locked within analytics tools, separated from the daily workflows of business users. This creates extra friction for adoption.

Introducing Public Embedding capability for your Holistics Dashboards.

What's new?​

You can now embed interactive Holistics Dashboards into:

• Blog posts, websites
• Internal tools (Notion, Coda, wikis)
• Any platform supporting iframes

This feature allows you to edit, update, and refresh your published content effortlessly. Now, everyone in and outside your organization has access to the most current data in the right context.

How it works​

Under the hood, we make our Sharable Link embeddable on the web. Simply follow these steps:

1. Go to your dashboard.
2. Click on Share > Sharable Link.
3. Create a new Sharable Link.
4. Embed this link in your application.

Considerations​

Public Embedding makes your dashboard viewable to anyone on the internet without authentication. Before publishing:

• Ensure you have permission to share the data publicly
• Review your organization's data-sharing policies
• Never publish confidential or proprietary information

Lock your most important columns in place, so you can easily compare key data while scrolling through the rest. No more losing track of the numbers that matter!

​Drill-through allows viewers to dig deeper into data by navigating to related dashboards, offering detailed insights on demand. It's now available in Canvas Dashboard!

How to get started​

Similar to Drill-through in Dashboard (Legacy), analysts can set up Drill-through in the Canvas Dashboard by enabling the Drill-through toggle in the filters.

In addition, we also introduce further configurations that give you more control over designing the drill paths. Specifically, you have two modes:

Auto (default)

• Automatically links all source dashboards containing widgets from the same dataset as filters on the target dashboards.
• Disabled dashboard option: You can exclude specific dashboards from drill-through even if they contain relevant widgets. This is useful for dashboards that might technically qualify but aren't contextually relevant.

Custom

• Allows you to specify which dashboards should be linked to target dashboards manually. Holistics will only link the custom dashboards you select to target dashboards.
• Gives you precise control over drill-through behavior.

Today, we introduce you to the powerful new Action feature in Holistics, designed to enhance how you interact with your data reports and dashboards.

With this feature, you can define specific actions to perform directly from your data, making data-driven decisions more efficient and effective.

Notes: This feature is only available in Canvas Dashboard.

Previously, tables and pivot tables in Canvas Dashboard automatically expanded to fill the entire container width. Sometimes, this leads to excessive whitespace and removes the focus on important information.

Now, you can adjust the width of individual columns in your Table and Pivot Table.

💡 How it works

• By default, tables and pivot tables still expand to fill the full width of their container.
• When editing dashboards, you can control column widths by directly dragging the column borders. The new widths will be saved, ensuring your tables and pivot tables maintain a consistent look across all views.

Dashboards don’t have to be boring. With our Canvas Dashboard themes, you can easily make your dashboards a joy to look at.

• You can define reusable, custom themes, and apply them at different element levels (block and page).
• Themes can also be extended and built upon, so you don’t have to start from scratch.

With Holistics AQL (Analytics Query Language), calculating Percent of the Total takes one single-line expression. It’s that easy.

Yet, we understand writing code is not for everyone, so we make Percent of Total even easier to calculate: You just point and click.

Now you can have the freedom to easily customize your table views with a simple drag and drop.

Want your columns in a different order, one that makes more sense to you? No problem! Just drag them around to your heart's content.

No more clunky middle steps like manual synchronizations with your remote repository. Our upgraded Git workflow automatically:

• Pulls changes from Production before you publish new data models.
• Checks for any new changes made to your branch.

This streamlines everything, cutting down on context-switching and letting you develop faster.

With our AQL (Analytics Query Language), building complex metrics is easier, but it can still take a few steps to create, test, and refine an AQL field.

We get it—that's why we created a new AQL editor that lets you build metrics directly from the Reporting page. We’ve also added some handy tweaks like better code suggestions, field searching, and improved error handling.

With the new AQL editor, you can also promote your metrics from Visualization settings to your Dataset code, and reuse them anytime, anywhere.
