August 24, 2023 - Drag and drop vis editor, left click actions, and field aliases

Drag and Drop Visualization Editor​

Visualizations just got way easier to create and edit with a new drag and drop interaction inside the vis editor.

Visualization Reference Lines​

Adding goals or targets to your charts is now possible with vertical reference lines.

More Mustache Markdown Fun​

Mustache can now be used in even more places - query elements can be inserted inside chart text (like axis titles) and dashboard filters can be inserted into dashboard text tiles.

Drilling and Context Menus Move to Left Click​

While we love a good right click menu… drilling is just too important an action to be relegated to a secondary click. Drilling and context menus are now accessible with left clicks (don’t worry - it still works if you got used to the right-click!)

Field Aliases​

Following on the view aliases parameter, fields can now also have aliases. Makes it easy to preserve content when a field name changes in the database.

Other Improvements​

  • Control calculation direction for pivots: choose if the calculation should be computed down the column or across the row
  • Date fill for “on or after filters”: dates can now be filled in when an on or after filter is applied, filling rows up to the current date
  • Unpin axis from zero: new Y-axis visualization setting
  • Add existing join to topic: from the workbook join modal, new option to add the join to the current Topic (without having to go to the IDE)
  • Filters can be referenced in dashboard text tiles: call out filter values on a dashboard using mustache syntax
