v1.12.0
March 15, 2024Overview
Our latest update focuses on enhancing user experience and fixing key issues. We’ve added a feature that displays active filter variables at the top of dashboards for easy visibility, and introduced log scaling on the y-axis for more effective data comparison. Improvements include a pre-deletion check for dynamic filter variables linked to datasets. Bug fixes address issues with dataset duplication, the widget drilldown reload button, stacked bar chart behavior, 404 errors during integration connections, and drilldown functionality in filtered widgets. This release mainly targets bug fixing and stability enhancement.
Dashboard Active Filter Indication
Dashboards show what filter variables are enabled at the top of the dashboard. This makes it easier for users to tell what filters are active without having to open the filter variable menu.
Log Scaling
Log scaling is now on the y-axis. Log scaling makes showing two datasets on a single line chart easier when the data is largely different.
Dataset Improvements
When deleting a dataset, we show which dynamic filter variables use the dataset before the dataset is deleted.

v1.11.0
March 8, 2024Overview
In our latest update, we’re excited to introduce Dashboard Folders for enhanced organizational capabilities, allowing users to neatly categorize dashboards into nested folders, tailored for different teams or functions. We’ve also added the ConnectWise Conversion History Dataset for in-depth tracking. On the improvements front, we’ve made dataset synchronization more efficient, segregated Datasets and Modified Datasets for clearer navigation, and continued to refine our template gallery. Additionally, we’ve enhanced data loading in drilldowns and maintained our focus on speed optimizations. Bug fixes include resolving date issues with Google Sheets and correcting sync time display errors for double joined datasets.
Dashboard Folders
Now users can organize their dashboards into folders. Folders can be nested into other folders. The biggest use case for the folders is helping sections of companies have folders of dashboards. For example, the sales team would have a sales dashboard with all of the sales related dashboards and then the operations team would have their folder with the operations dashboards.
ConnectWise Conversion History
We now have the ConnectWise Conversion History Dataset, which can be used to track opportunity history in ConnectWise.
Dataset Sync Improvements
We’ve made it so users can’t accidentally sync the same dataset more than once. This prevents extra load on our customers’ data sources and removes clutter from the datasets page.
Modified Datasets Improvements
Datasets and Modified Datasets have been broken out into separate pages. This helps with organization of where data is coming from and makes it easier for new users to understand the difference. It also makes it so functionality that is unique to Modified Datasets doesn’t show up as warnings on the Datasets page.
Template Gallery Improvements
We’ve made some more template gallery improvements as we plan to go live with templates soon.
Drilldown Improvements
Now, drilldowns always load all data when users click on widgets.
Speed Improvements
Continued speed improvements to keep data updates fast.

v1.10.4
February 23, 2024Overview
Our latest update introduces exciting new features, improvements, and bug fixes to enhance your dashboard management experience. Key highlights include the addition of Dashboard Groups for better organization, customizable font sizes for widget titles for greater visibility, and a significant backend overhaul for faster data processing. We’ve also refined our integration with ConnectWise for more accurate data reflection, improved threshold settings readability, and ensured more consistent time series data visualization. Notably, we’ve addressed bugs affecting thresholds on number widgets and the display of image and link charts, ensuring a smoother user experience across our newly refined dashboard.
Dashboard Groups
We’ve introduced a new dashboard management feature called Dashboard Groups. Users can dashboards can be assigned to Dashboard Groups. Users can see any dashboards that are a part of their dashboard groups. If a dashboard isn’t assigned to a dashboard group, then the dashboard is considered public, and all users can see the dashboard. Admin can see all dashboards regardless of their group.
Widget Tile Font Size
In the dashboard settings, users can set the font size of the widget titles. This lets users have more control over how they want to style the dashboard based on its use. For example, If a dashboard is meant to be on a TV screen to be easily read from far away, then increase the font size. If it’s a dashboard for use on a phone, then decrease the font size.
New Data Warehouse
We’ve completely reworked our backend’s data warehouse and significantly increased our data processing speed. This will keep the app fast and data always up to date.
ConnectWise Integration Improvements
We can now detect when recent data has been deleted from ConnectWise and reflect the change on user dashboards
Threshold Settings Improvements

Additionally, this update includes general bug fixes and performance enhancements, ensuring a smoother, more reliable platform.
Widget drill-down columns
Users can now copy drill-down columns and their order from one widget to another. This makes it so users can set the desired columns they want to show up in the order they want when they click on a widget and then copy those selected columns to other widgets. A HUGE timesaver.
Chart visual improvements
Our new chart look got a ton of feedback, and we’ve implemented the following changes and fixes:
- We dimmed the dotted lines behind bar charts
- Fixed an issue where dollar and percent signs weren’t showing up on charts
- Fixed the dynamic text widget
- Clicking on bars or pie slices opens the drill down in the correct tab
- Chart colors now honor the global colors
