These are the different sections in ThoughtSpot:

Home

When you log into ThoughtSpot, you see the ThoughtSpot home page. It is accessible when you select Home or the ThoughtSpot logo from the top navigation bar.

The ThoughtSpot home page allows you to access all your essential actions as a business user. From the home page, you can:

  • Search across existing answers and Pinboards

  • Search your data to create new answers and Pinboards

  • Track important metrics

  • View objects you viewed recently

  • View trending Pinboards and answers

  • Filter existing objects by favorite, author, tag, or type of object

  • Sort existing objects by author, views, or most recently viewed

Search across existing answers and Pinboards

You can search across all existing answers, Pinboards, and visualizations in Pinboards that are built on worksheets where you have access. Use this functionality if you cannot remember the exact name of a useful answer, do not remember which Pinboard a visualization is on, or if you are simply wondering if someone else already created an answer or Pinboard that would suit your needs.

The home page displays the Search answers experience by default. You can select a specific worksheet from the Sources dropdown to the left of the search bar, or search across all worksheets that you have access to. Type your query into the search bar at the top of the screen. Select Go or click Enter on your keyboard. For example, search gross orders in the last year if you are looking for a particular Pinboard about sales that a coworker made. This type of search does not require you to be extensively familiar with your company’s data and how it is organized.

Search your data

You can search directly on your data. Use this functionality if you would like to create your own answers and Pinboards to answer questions about your data.

To search your data, select the Search data button in the top navigation bar. The Search data page appears. Select a data source to search on, and type your query into the search bar at the top of the screen. Select Go or click Enter on your keyboard. For example, search sales last year store #103 bakery to see last year’s sales in the bakery department for store 103. This type of search requires you to be familiar with your company’s data, to know which worksheets contain data that interests you, and the names of the columns and values within that worksheet.

See Searching data for more information on searching your data.
