Edit Exported Data Columns in Reports​

In our 0.67 release, we introduced the ability to edit reports and alerts. With this release, we’re taking it a step further — you can now edit the underlying data columns included in your report exports.
No more re-creating reports from scratch just to tweak what’s exported. Adjust your columns effortlessly and save time!

Simplified Time Pills in Pivot​

Working with time in Pivot and Flat tables just got easier!
We’ve combined all time pills into a single, unified time pill, letting you quickly switch between different time grains (like day, week, or month) without removing and re-adding fields.
Your tables are now faster and smoother to work with — less friction, more productivity.

Schedule Alerts​

Previously, alerts would trigger whenever your data refreshed, but scheduling alerts for specific times (like weekly or monthly reports) was tricky.
With this release, you can now schedule alerts to run at specific times.
Enjoy the confidence and peace of mind knowing your alerts will trigger exactly when you need them.

Custom Sort Order in Canvas​

You can now define a custom sort order for categorical dimensions.
This is especially useful when you need a specific sequence, such as process stages or days of the week.
Take control of how your data is ordered and make your visualizations more meaningful.
