Deliveries available in embed, new document settings, and more modeling enhancements

October 29, 2024

Embed users can use deliveries and alerts

All of the functionality you know and love for internal users with our scheduling and alerting is now possible for embed users. Leverage the document settings and a new “email” SSO URL parameter to build the experience you want.

New Document Settings

Admin and users can now decide how users can interact with content by assigning the document abilities: schedule, download, drill, or view-only functionality. The choice is yours!

This work opens up the ability to make view-only workbooks and dashboards.

Global Palettes for Downloads and Deliveries

The exciting color palette work continues! Our global palettes now will persist when downloaded or scheduled. We've also added even more controls for customizing your themes: border details and element details (like control background color and popover colors).

Speaking of color palettes, here is a fun example of what you can create (watch the demo):

Enhanced Filter Modeling Capabilities

A brand new set of controls to label filter values, and pass said labels through as dynamic text. Now filter text can be explicitly set and these values can pass through to fields for things like period-over-period or other filter-only field use case.

Suggestion lists

Explicitly define what the filter values should be along with what labels could go with those values by using:

suggestion-list
Filter Value Labels

Then take it step further and using {{ filters.my_view.my_field.filter_value_label }} you can reference the suggestion_list "label" for a filter selected value

See a demo how these work together.

Better Content Validator

More functionality to understand the current overall state in the content validator - how much is errored and filtering to only errored content (it’s not a secret, but it feels like one, just click the red x to filter to only errors). Watch the demo.

Default Timeframes

New controls to set default time frames from the default set in Omni (date, week, month, quarter, year). Now can be modeled explicitly. In the model use default_timeframes to set the ones that matter most for your use case. 

Schema Organization in IDE

Clearer distinction between static schemas and dbt schemas in the IDE for easier model management. Check out the demo.
