Bugs & Feature Requests (Product UI)

Below is a running list of UI related bugs and feature requests that have either already been submitted to ThoughtSpot, or have yet to be submitted.  Anything that has been submitted has notes from the TS team.  If something was not on their product roadmap at the time the request was submitted, we will follow up on those items when we next submit our list.  We should aim to send this list every 6 months.  Requests on this list will remain limited to the UI.  (Bugs not related to UI functionality are submitted as tickets directly to the TS engineering team and will not be on this list.  For example, a bug with the query execution path is critical to product functionality and would not be represented here. )

Pinboard/ AnswerFeatureDisplay worksheet tags in answer/ pinboardEspecially since we use one cluster for prod, uat, and dev, we use tags to differentiate between the environments.  To avoid confusion, it would be helpful if the tags were visible when you edit an answer, or when you view the pinboard

PinboardBugDrill down in table view adds dimension to right instead of left sideWhen you drill down on an answer in a table, the new dimension is added to the right side of the table, all the way at the end, instead of on the left side, where dimensions are usually listed.

NavigationFeaturePinboard/ Answer curation
  • Would be great to have a way to "remove share" from pinboards/answers under the "All" section for pinboards/ answers that have been shared with you that you don't want to see any more
  • Also, would be helpful to be able to set an order of appearance for answers/ pinboards under All/ Yours/ Favorites so that you can see these in a meaningful order and not just by the Last Modified Date or alphabetically by name

11/11/2020
AdminFeatureAdd whitelisted domains through the UI rather than with a TSCLI commandWould be helpful if any admin can whitelist domains through the UI rather than requiring dev access to TS backend
11/10/2020
Pinboard or AnswerFeatureHave filters be additive/ allow for an OR function for filtersUsers would like to combine filters as if using an OR statement.  As if to say, Show me customers with either these traits or those traits.
11/10/2020
AnswerFeatureAbility to search for answers saved within pinboardsWould make answers that are saved on a pinboard easier to find
11/4/2020
AnswerFeatureAbility to add heatmap/ color gradient by column in a tableAlso, would be helpful if color gradient could be define by user, so we could set green to read instead of light to turquoise
11/4/2020
Answer/ WorksheetFeatureSave user added formulas by user & worksheetUsers add a lot of custom formulas to answers - it would be great if there was a way to store these/ or make them readily available and re-usable for the user who created it at least, but possibly even other users if they share it.  Or, mark formulas as favorites?

AnswerFeatureAbility to format numbers in the table viewCurrently, you can format numbers in the visualizations, but not the table view.

AnswerFeatureAbility to format numbers in the headline/ KPI boxesCurrently, you can format numbers in the visualizations, but you can't adjust the format of numbers in the headline/summary/ KPI boxes.  
9/1/202010/1/2020AnswerBugStraight table totals incorrect for measuresSums calculations instead of doing a table aggregate calculation. For example, two rows with a rate of 50% will show in the total as 100% instead of the table aggregate of 50%.10/1/2020 - Solved in 6.3 (Nov 2020 release)
9/1/202010/1/2020AnswerBugStraight table totals incorrect for measuresWhen a straight table displays more than 1000+ rows, the column totals only total what is displayed, not all of the results.10/1/2020 - Solved in 6.2 (Sept 2020 release)
9/1/202010/1/2020AnswerBugPivot table totals incorrect for measuresSums calculations instead of doing a table aggregate calculation. For example, two rows with a rate of 50% will show in the total as 100% instead of the table aggregate of 50%.10/1/2020 - Solved in 6.3 (Nov 2020 release)
9/1/202010/1/2020AnswerFeatureHeatmap color gradientThe color gradient is not very stark - pretty low saturation. Would be better with improved contrast, or gradients from red to green or green to red (should be able to reverse which is good/ bad, high or low numbers)10/1/2020 - Not on roadmap for next 6 months
9/1/202010/1/2020PinboardFeature"Sticky" filters on pinboardAs you scoll down a pinboard, would be nice if the filters stayed visible on the top, like a freeze pane, so you can always see what you have applied.10/1/2020 - 7.1 Release (early to mid 2021)
9/1/202010/1/2020PinboardFeatureOverride pinboard filterFor some answers, it would be helpful if you could set an override to use the answer filter instead of the pinboard filter10/1/2020 - Solved in 6.3 (Nov 2020 release)
9/1/202010/1/2020FormulaFeaturegroup_aggregate() functionIn the same way that you can exclude fields from the query_groups, it would be helpful if you could do the same with query_filters. Like query_groups()-{field1, field2}10/1/2020 - TS to follow up on timeline
9/1/202010/1/2020SearchFeatureData pane fields - smart ordering and typingAbility to set order of fields in data pane in the worksheet rather than using alphabetical order. For example, there are logical ways to organize our fields that are not alphabetical. It would also be helpful if the data pane could have categories/ sub sections - especially if we could group by dimensions/ measures or commonly used dimensions/ measures, etc.10/1/2020 - Not on roadmap for next 6 months
9/1/202010/1/2020PinboardFeatureNew Pinboard category for "corporate" or ability to add Pinboard categoriesCurrently, you can filter pinbords to "All", "Yours", "Favorites" - it would be helpful if we could add a "Standard" or "Corporate" category that can only be managed by an Admin. We know there are stickers, but the stickers are not as intuitive to use and anyone can apply a sticker to a pinboard.10/1/2020 - Not on roadmap for next 6 months
9/1/202010/1/2020PinboardFeatureInsert Hyperlink in Pinboard or Link to other pinboardThere has been a need to link pinboards together10/1/2020 - 7.1/7.2 Release (early to mid 2021)
9/1/202010/1/2020AdminFeatureManagement for Scheduled reports
10/1/2020 - Not on roadmap for next 6 months
9/1/202010/1/2020PinboardFeatureAllow zoom in answers on pinboardFor example, have ability to zoom in on an answer like a bubble chart from the pinboard10/1/2020 - Not on roadmap for next 6 months
9/1/202010/1/2020SearchFeatureKeyword for excluding datesFor example, show last 30 days excluding yesterday, last 60 days excluding last 4 days, or year to date excluding this week10/1/2020 - Already available - TS to update documentation: You can type date != yesterday or date != last 4 days in the search bar. You can also combine it with other date filters. For eg. "last 30 days" "date != yesterday"
9/1/202010/1/2020AdminFeatureData last reloaded dateThe Admin -> System Health -> Data tab currently shows the last reloaded time by table. It would be helpful if an admin could copy and edit this table so that the last reloaded time for main fact tables could be shared with end users. Currently, if you hover over a worksheet name in the search data pane, you will get the last time the worksheet itself has been edited - that is misleading. If you hover over specific fields in the data pane, you will get a reload date, but our data all reloads at different times, so this can be misleading and it's not intuitive.10/1/2020 - Not on roadmap for next 6 months
9/1/202010/1/2020SchedulingFeatureSend CSV as tabs not separate workbooksIf you schedule a single pinboard with the CSV output, every answer will be sent as a separate attachment. It would be easier if the answers were separate tabs in the same workbook rather than separate attachments.10/1/2020 - Not on roadmap for next 6 months
9/1/202010/1/2020ExportingBugCSV export converts percents to numbersWhen exporting to CSV, percents are converted to numbers10/1/2020 - Known bug but timeline for release not known
9/1/202010/1/2020PinboardFeatureAllow dynamic filtering on the pinboard or filtering by query on the pinboard level
10/1/2020 - 7.1/7.2 Release (early to mid 2021)
9/1/202010/1/2020PinboardBug/ FeatureWhen a user requests access to a pinboard, an email goes to our TS support queueIt would be great if we could remove that email address from the pinboard request emails. We don't need a ticket formed in our support queue everytime someone requests pinboard access. But, viewing documentation, it looks like this is not currently configurable. https://docs.thoughtspot.com/6.2/end-user/pinboards/request-access.html10/1/2020 - TS to follow up with configuration options
9/1/202010/1/2020AnswerFeatureAbility to change line in line chart to dotted line, or change thickness of line
