Release Notes

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.

🌟 What's New​

• 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’re excited to share our new feature: Configure Failure Recipients per Schedule & Alert! 🚀

🌟 The Problem We’ve Solved​

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 they’re responsible for that specific schedule. This leads to notification fatigue and slower incident response.

🌟 The Solution​

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.

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.

🌟 What's new​

• 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.

We're thrilled to announce that Default Dashboard Template is now available! 🎉 🎉

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

🌟 What's New​

• 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! 😊

We’re excited to share that you can now undo and redo your filter actions while exploring dashboards.

✨ What's new​

• Undo/Redo for filters: Previously, only drill-downs and break-downs were reversible. Now, every step of your analysis — from filtering to drilling down — 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.

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

When reviewing relationships—especially in complex data models—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.

✨ What's New​

• Field type icons — Each field now displays an icon indicating its data type, making it easier to understand the relationship at a glance
• Visual separation — 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 — The improved layout helps you quickly navigate through long lists of relationships without getting lost in the text

🎯 Benefits​

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.

📸 Before and After​

Before:

After:

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

When viewing underlying data, the default table shown may not always be relevant to users' needs. Now, you can ​​customize different views of the underlying data​ 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.

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.

⭐ What's new?​

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.

For more information, check out our public docs: Archive Recommendations

Hi everyone,

Great news, the Merge Request workflow for GitLab has officially been released.

This is a new feature that brings our PR Workflow goodness to GitLab MRs so you can review, approve, and ship analytics changes using the process your team already knows.

What you will get:

• ⚡ One-click MR creation from Holistics, with AI to draft the MR title and description.
• 🔈 Live MR status inside Holistics — no more tab-hopping to GitLab.
• 🔀 Auto-publish on merge: when an MR is approved and merged into your master branch, the changes publish themselves.
• 👀 Better visibility and control over changes, helping keep data reliable and audits painless.

If your team runs on GitLab, this will make reviews smoother, governance tighter, and shipping safer — without changing how you work.
