14 (?!) demos this week, lots of small improvements throughout the app and a few big new features:

• New functionality to create links between embedded dashboards *inside* the iframe. No more tearing down and rebuilding iframes, just super fast linking to make navigation feel 100% native.

• A pair of Zapier hooks to directly drop data into Google Sheets from Omni - functionality for both creating a new tab with data or overwriting the existing scheduled object.

• More work on calculations and sorting of SQL results - all the Excel goodness on top of raw SQL queries. Also some nice improvements to space management for SQL including drag sizing on the SQL block.

• The near-launch of abstract model objects - allowing complex model and field layering, and setting up the groundwork for remote dependencies in the data model

• Lots of new model and workbook functionality:

  • Topic descriptions - better metadata to help end users

  • Filter faceting control in the workbook - now filters on dashboard or the workbook can optionality filter other filters (or not)

  • Suggest from topic - for when you want to curate filter suggests based on a specific topic rather than the default behavior

  • A small change - now "on this day one year ago" will indeed return a day

  • The launch of dynamic connections in branches

  • New mode to write dbt SQL from the UI, including {{ }} references

• A pair of vis improvements:

  • Advanced editor for pie charts

  • Multi-line support for axes labels, point labels, and fields names

• A pair of embed improvements:

  • Embed themes can now be applied directly from the UI rather than requiring the URL builder to specify

  • Improvements to the SDK for vanity domains + a tool for URL building without the SDK
