Global color palettes, cross-tab spreadsheet references and 12 (?!) more
September 13, 2024
A first look at global color palette controls - now manage palettes for the Omni environment including diverging and gradient palettes with a full admin UI
Why isn't calling data from another query as easy as Excel or Sheets? Just reference the field and put data next to each other. Now you can with simple cross-sheet cell references to bring queries next to each other without joins or models or lookups, just "="
The launch of sticky vis config over a huge number of user actions in the UI. Smarter, better visualization as you refine queries in the app - sticky colors, retaining changes between different vis types, smarter retention of facets on new fields.
New settings for git to create branches for pull requests created outside of Omni, for more robust change management in product for folks using git outside the app
New dynamic schema controls with dbt
Smarter branch creation - adding existing changes on save to the new branches
Controls to download hidden columns for curated data tables
A new API to manage embed users (list, delete), in order to manage privacy deletion in bulk
The ability to push down more TEXT() metrics to the model - for both numeric formats like percent or decimal, and datetime formats
New controls to re-assign ownership for content
Better validation for joins through the context of topics
Grouping measures inside pivots to cluster metrics instead of dimensions
Folding in the IDE to open up quicker, easier navigation in large topics or view files
A quick design pattern for aliased joins inside topics, including renaming metrics specific to the topic (instead of globally)
