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
