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.

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

We are thrilled to introduce Version Restore - a new feature that lets you restore Holistics projects to any version!

Ever found yourself in these situations?

  • You’re diving into Holistics, changing stuff to see what’s what. Suddenly, you changed something which broke some other things, and you wish you could hit an “undo” button.
  • Knowing there’s no “oops” button, you tread so lightly you barely explore Holistics. Where’s the fun in that?
  • You decide to try out new ways of building metrics or modeling data. But things go sideways, and the only way back is a bunch of complex git commands.

Version Restore can help you avoid these situations. Roll back your Holistics project to any version you want, making exploration and innovation super easy.

Here’s how it works:

We're excited to announce Condition Group, one of our most requested features, is now available. This new addition allows you to create complex filtering conditions instead of just AND-ing everything. Here’s what the feature brings:

  • Create OR conditions between different fields.
  • Group conditions together and create groups within groups.
  • Set AND/OR relationships between conditions.

For more information, visit our Public Docs: Filter with Condition Group.

Now before you dive into using the Condition Group feature, kindly note that:

  • Version 4.0 Required: If your team is still on version 3.0, you'll need to switch to version 4.0 to access this feature. You can find how to upgrade here.
  • Enable AQL: With version 4.0, make sure that you have activated our Analytics Query Language (AQL). For more information and to join our AQL beta, click here.
  • AQL-engine Dataset: Right now, the Condition Group only works with datasets that use the AQL engine. Learn how to set it up here.

Condition Group is currently limited to the Report level only. We're exploring potential uses and solutions for bringing this to Dashboards.

Another UX update to make your experience with Holistics a lot more delightful. New hotkey alert: Press Ctrl + \ (Windows) or Cmd + \ (Mac) to toggle the Holistics sidebar.

You can now resize the width of table columns. This change is temporary, and doesn’t affect the default width of the column. You can also bring it back to default width by double-clicking on the resize hover
