๐Ÿค– Drop unused jobs, automatically

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 whatโ€™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 ๐Ÿค– 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. Weโ€™re all ears!

๐Ÿ›บย ย Freeform layout, without misalignment

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 weโ€™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)
