IDE redesigns, lots of filter work, and much more
July 26, 2024
Ten new ones this week - lots of work on dashboard filters, some brand new IDE designs (let us know what you think!), plus some some very very early exploration around allowing visualization editing directly from the dashboard.
IDE Redesigns
Early DesignsA whole bunch of design prototypes for upcoming work on the IDE. Easier joins and topics, better navigation, lots of metadata and in-line documentation.
Field Picker In-Use Toggle
LaunchedA new filter control to quickly view only the fields in use for a given query (dimensions, measures, pivots, or filters)
Editing Visualization From the Dashboard
Later, Will be a BitSome very early prototypes for editing visualizations directly on the dashboard. The goal is to avoid bouncing back and forth to the workbook when tuning visualizations. Lots of work to do here to launch, but hopefully paints the picture of a much better editing experience.
Single Pick Filters
Coming Next WeekA first look at new single-select filters on dashboards, removing the complexity of picking a filter type, and simply requiring a single filter input for a dashboard (think Customer Lookup, Region Picker, etc).
Filter Suggestion Cache Busting
LaunchedNew controls that allow for refreshing the filter suggestion cache. Making sure all the entries from the database are available for suggestions.
Dashboard Filter Faceting Controls
LaunchedNew explicitly controls for whether one filter filter's the suggestions of another filter. Can be turned on or off as needed for the desired experience.
Period-Over-Period Dashboard Controls
LaunchedNow all the goodness of period-over-period controls is available from the dashboard as well.
Single Tile Schedules - Bigger Vis
LaunchedNow when single tile visualizations are scheduled, the visualizations are sized up for easier consumption.
Period-Over-Period Compare to Last Period
LaunchedA new option for a period-over-period offset to the previous same-length period. Want to look at 20-day performance vs previous 20-days, or 37-month vs 37-month - all out of the box now.
Calling Filters in Markdown
LaunchedNow it's much easier to use a given query's filter configuration in markdown, allowing for easier drill down to dashboards or other queries in Omni.
