Release Notes

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).

If you haven’t tried Canvas Dashboard yet, go ahead, give it a try, and check out some awesome samples we've built on our Playground: go.holistics.io/play

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.

Another small improvement, but guaranteed to make your exploration experience much more pleasant: Now, you can easily reverse the stack order with just a click of the "Reverse Stack" toggle.

Aggregate Awareness optimizes query performance by automatically using the right pre-aggregates (transformed by tools like dbt, Airflow, or BI like Holistics, etc.), avoiding the need to always query the raw data.

Aggregate Awareness is now in Closed Beta! You can Request Beta Access and try it out. Learn more about the feature at Public Docs | Aggregate Awareness

With Canvas Dashboard, you can build the most visually stunning dashboard in the world, but no one will know if every dashboard visit is a game of “spin the loading wheel”.

Dashboards should be both fast and beautiful, we get it, so we’ve brought Job Monitoring and Job Performance Analytics to Canvas Dashboards.

Now you can spot the slowest reports in your workspace, see which Canvas Dashboards are dragging their feet, check if your Holistics Job Workers are overwhelmed, and make necessary optimizations to ensure your dashboards are fast enough to actually be admired.

If you have any questions, please let us know in this Community Post.

Tired of scrolling to check if your filters are mapped to the right report’s fields? We’ve got your back! We’ve added a nifty count indicator to show you at a glance how many reports are mapped.

TL;DR: Your dashboards open faster now.

We’ve made another round of improvements to how fast dashboards open in Holistics. Now, from the moment you click a link until all the widgets pop up (minus the result data), everything moves quicker.

If you're into the nitty-gritty details of the optimizations we’ve made, check out this community post.
