We're excited to share some improvement to how you access shared URLs in Development workspace!

Previously, when someone shared a URL to an object in their working branch, you often couldn't access it. This was because the URL still kept you in your current branch instead of redirecting to theirs.

Now, with the addition of the branch parameter in the URL, you can easily navigate to the exact working branch and location of the AML object.

That's not all! We’ve also added a new button to copy the object URL, further enhancing your experience.

Happy navigating among the branches with URLs! 😉

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our highly-anticipated feature: ​Auto Publish!

The Publish API allows you to publish your project outside of Holistics, making integrating with CI/CD workflows easier. This integration unlocks the full potential of an “as-code” approach, enhancing automation and scalability. This is useful for scenarios like:

  • Auto publish the latest update after merging PR into the master branch, by integrating Publish API with the CI/CD workflow.
  • Auto publish the latest update after new changes are pushed to master branch.

Have you ever needed to calculate a formula that's not yet in the dataset? Well, let's AQL Ad-hoc Fields come to the rescue!

With AQL Ad-hoc Fields, you can define fields that stay only within your reports. Why wait for Data Teams to add that one new field to the dataset, when you can do it yourself?

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
tip

To securely embed your content in an internal portal or website, use our Embedded Analytics. This option ensures that all permissions and data security are enforced when your users view your internal data.

​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:

reporting-set-up-drill-through-configurations

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.

Learn more about the feature at Drill-through | Holistics Docs (4.0).

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.

For more details, check out our doc here: Themes in Canvas Dashboard | Holistics Docs (4.0).
