Demos highlight what we are working on or experimenting with, but are not a guarantee of release. Let us know your thoughts at support@omni.co.
Smart labels
Nate Agrin ·Visualization
The thumbnail says it all - a new labeling algorithm that means no overlapping labels. Beautiful scatterplots, lines, bar charts right out of the box. Rolling out shortly.
Tiles don’t move on edit
Eli Cohen ·Dashboards
Probably our most persistent bug is now in the past. Lots of structural work to improve our URL structure and metadata storage to make sure tiles aren’t moving or changing in unexpected ways.
Editing on dashboard - part one
Gustav Staprans ·Dashboards
The first in a series of work to lift a bunch of the editing experience for visualization to the dashboard itself. Making sure builders have all the relevant tools in both the workbook and on the dashboard. Part one covers titles and descriptions, more to come.
AI chart builder
Jamie Davidson ·Workbook Visualization
Some new work to build visualizations using natural language. These are all using the UI chart builder, so remain editable by end users. We hope to unify more of the AI interactions in the future, but continuing to press AI into all the different facets of the app.
Cache busting API
Conrad Slimmer ·Administration Modeling
Now the cache is fully in your control - we have a new API to purge the cache. This means the cache can be tied to changes upstream - ETL cycles, dbt runs, or simply because you have new data.
Nested folders
Meredith Dodge ·Content Management
More work on nested folders in the content management system, including some discussion of permission inheritance.
Dynamic embed sidebar
Corey Ruderman ·Embed Api Administration
We show a nice workflow for deploying embedded dashboards - here we use the API to tie dashboards in a folder to the sidebar navigation in production. This means deploying new dashboards to customers can be as easy as a prod folder in the Omni environment - easy build and deploy.
Transparent colors everywhere
Sarah Waterson ·Visualization
Colors are great, but we’re not stopping there - we’ve lifted transparency controls everywhere you find colors. Also available through 8-character hex codes. More tools, cleaner finished product.
Better embed auth
Elliot Park ·Embed Administration
Continuing the work to speed up embed auth and make every embedded dashboard faster.
Drafts polish - read-only workbook and SQL saving
Alisa Tatarinova ·Workbook
Pair of demos to smooth out the drafts experience - final touches on locked read-only field picker + now we’ll make sure to save even un-run SQL on save.
Super clean gauge
Sarah Waterson ·Visualization
A quick look at some new fancy gauge charts.
Themes with AI
Arielle Strong ·Embed Dashboards
We show some workflows to build dashboard themes using AI. This means folks can feed in app styles to quickly build new embed themes in Omni.
