What's New

Table and Pivot table are not the only visualizations to get a speed boost here.

We promised a faster Metric Sheet, and we delivered. Metric sheet is now x4 faster!

You can now resize columns in the Pivot table, by simply dragging the right border of the header. And to make the column fit perfectly with its content, just double-click on that border.

If you’ve noticed your pivot tables get snappier lately, no, you didn’t just get lucky. We’ve just released a new version of Table visualization, with x2.5 faster rendering speed.

And yes, we actually measured it!

See more details in our release note here: Launched: Improved Pivot table performance | Holistics Community.

Our team has redesigned the entire Development workspace with an eye towards making it cleaner, simpler, more intuitive, and less cluttered - but no less powerful!

For more details, check out our Community post here: Exciting Update - Development workspace Interface Revamp!

We're thrilled to announce our completely redesigned Command Line Interface (CLI) tool, built from the ground up to streamline your analytics development experience.

Why A New CLI?​

Our previous CLI had limitations that slowed down your workflow:

• Complex installation process dependent on Ruby
• Limited validation capabilities between dbt and Holistics
• Insufficient tools for analyzing dependencies
• Slow feature deployment cycle

What's New?​

🎯 Zero-Dependency Installation​

One command, and you're ready to go:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holistics/holistics-cli/refs/heads/master/install.sh | bash

💪 Powerful Features Out of the Box​

• AML Compilation: Instantly compile and validate your AML files
• dbt Integration: Seamlessly upload and manage your dbt models
• Repository Validation: Catch errors before they reach production
• Multi-Platform Support: Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows

⚡ Enhanced Developer Experience​

• Self-Contained Binary: No external dependencies required
• CI/CD Ready: Perfect for automation in your development pipeline
• Rapid Updates: New features and improvements delivered faster than ever

What's Next?​

This is just the beginning! Our new CLI architecture allows us to ship new features and improvements much faster. We can we improve further:

• Enhanced validation capabilities
• Dependencies/Lineage analysis
• More automation tools for your workflow

Getting Started​

At 9 a.m., one of your marketing executives opens Holistics for their daily data browsing.

They spot some new marketing dashboards. Excited to see what’s what, they open them all. They then get caught up in urgent marketing tasks, so before they can do any insight digging, they turn back, and exit.

Unbeknownst to them, the job triggered during their initial visit keeps running in the background, hogging a Job Worker, and blocking it from being used for more pressing reports.

To solve this, we proudly introduce 🤖 Auto Cancellation for Unused Jobs.

This feature allows you to set a timeout (e.g. 3 seconds), and any lingering job gets axed, automatically, freeing the Job Worker for other important tasks!

How do you see this feature being useful to your team? If you have any feedback or suggestions for us, please share them here. We’re all ears!

With Canvas Dashboard, you can easily freeform your layout - toss and shuffle visualizations, filters, text on a blank canvas however you like.

Yet, free form often comes with alignment. Having the freedom to place things anywhere can lead to a bit of a mess.

This is why we’ve added handy guides for block alignment in the Canvas Dashboard. You can now drag and drop, freely, without stressing about getting everything lined up just right. (See demo)

You can now customize the line style of your charts. Choose from style options like solid, dotted, or dashed; then choose from linear, smooth, or step-line interpolation for more variety of data representation.

A good chart is a chart with great visual clarity. And this little feature hopefully helps analysts get closer to creating one.

Open the latest changes in a flash! We’ve made it easier to open files from the most recent commit in your history

We’ve revamped the AML default page with the new workflow graphic and clearer wording to create a much smoother onboarding experience.
