August 4, 2023 - Viewer role, filter mapping, iframe in markdown, and visualization improvements

Viewer User Role​

New connection permission called Viewer that limits users to only viewing dashboards built on predefined Topics.

Filter Mapping on Dashboards​

Filters can now be mapped to different fields on each tile. Especially useful when mapping a date dashboard filter to different date fields on each tile (though not limited to just dates!).

iframes in Markdown Visualizations​

Markdown visualizations now support iframes so all your favorite web pages can be embedded right inside a dashboard! They can optionally be parameterized with query elements so they can dynamically change based on the filters or query results. One of our favorite examples is this brand lookup dashboard that embeds a google map of all store locations based on the applied location filter.

View Aliases​

Ever had the name of a table change in your database and then all the beautiful content downstream broke? Never fear - the new View aliases parameter is here! When the name of a database table changes you can apply the aliases parameter to the new view name to ensure old content still works.
