New model controls for timeframes and filter value labels, more visualization configuration, and a nice demo of richer dashboard styling
October 11, 2024
Lots of new model work:
A brand new set of controls to label filter values, and pass said labels through as dynamic text. Now filter text can be explicitly set and these values can pass through to fields for things like period-over-period or other filter-only field use case.
New deeper git support for customers with and Omni repo that is not main. More functionality to understand the current overall state in the content validator - how much is errored and filtering to only errored content.
New controls to set default timeframes from the default set in Omni (date, week, month, quarter, year). Now can be modeled explicitly.
More work on draft-publish workflows with rich history on all of the drafts associated with a workbook or dashboard, and function to restore these drafts as well.
Clearer distinction between static schemas and dbt schemas in the IDE for easier model management.
And more visualization and dashboarding to go with it
Some pre-launch work and some conversation on locking the vis config to never reset user-inputted changes. This would mean that even with significant query mutation, any user-facing input would remain in the visualization, reducing re-work over changes.
Richer UX for setting custom colors on a given visualization, mirroring the improved UX for global color palettes.
The last piece of work to put global color palettes into GA, allowing custom global palettes to pass to the renderer for downloads and scheduling.
A quick set of demo dashboards with stylized tables and charts for the NBA, using public data.
