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. )
Date Added | Submitted to TS | Category | Feature/ Bug | Issue/ Feature Request | Description | Update from TS |
2/10/2022 | Pinboard/ Answer | Feature | Display worksheet tags in answer/ pinboard | Especially 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 | ||
12/3/2020 | Pinboard | Bug | Drill down in table view adds dimension to right instead of left side | When 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.  | ||
11/11/2020 | Navigation | Feature | Pinboard/ Answer curation |
| ||
11/11/2020 | Admin | Feature | Add whitelisted domains through the UI rather than with a TSCLI command | Would be helpful if any admin can whitelist domains through the UI rather than requiring dev access to TS backend | ||
11/10/2020 | Pinboard or Answer | Feature | Have filters be additive/ allow for an OR function for filters | Users 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 | Answer | Feature | Ability to search for answers saved within pinboards | Would make answers that are saved on a pinboard easier to find | ||
11/4/2020 | Answer | Feature | Ability to add heatmap/ color gradient by column in a table | Also, 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/ Worksheet | Feature | Save user added formulas by user & worksheet | Users 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? | ||
10/15/2020 | Answer | Feature | Ability to format numbers in the table view | Currently, you can format numbers in the visualizations, but not the table view.  | ||
10/15/2020 | Answer | Feature | Ability to format numbers in the headline/ KPI boxes | Currently, you can format numbers in the visualizations, but you can't adjust the format of numbers in the headline/summary/ KPI boxes.  | ||
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Answer | Bug | Straight table totals incorrect for measures | Sums 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) |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Answer | Bug | Straight table totals incorrect for measures | When 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) |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Answer | Bug | Pivot table totals incorrect for measures | Sums 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) |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Answer | Feature | Heatmap color gradient | The 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 |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Pinboard | Feature | "Sticky" filters on pinboard | As 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) |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Pinboard | Feature | Override pinboard filter | For some answers, it would be helpful if you could set an override to use the answer filter instead of the pinboard filter | 10/1/2020 - Solved in 6.3 (Nov 2020 release) |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Formula | Feature | group_aggregate() function | In 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 |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Search | Feature | Data pane fields - smart ordering and typing | Ability 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 |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Pinboard | Feature | New Pinboard category for "corporate" or ability to add Pinboard categories | Currently, 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 |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Pinboard | Feature | Insert Hyperlink in Pinboard or Link to other pinboard | There has been a need to link pinboards together | 10/1/2020 - 7.1/7.2 Release (early to mid 2021) |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Admin | Feature | Management for Scheduled reports | 10/1/2020 - Not on roadmap for next 6 months | |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Pinboard | Feature | Allow zoom in answers on pinboard | For example, have ability to zoom in on an answer like a bubble chart from the pinboard | 10/1/2020 - Not on roadmap for next 6 months |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Search | Feature | Keyword for excluding dates | For example, show last 30 days excluding yesterday, last 60 days excluding last 4 days, or year to date excluding this week | 10/1/2020 - 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" |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Admin | Feature | Data last reloaded date | The 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 |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Scheduling | Feature | Send CSV as tabs not separate workbooks | If 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 |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Exporting | Bug | CSV export converts percents to numbers | When exporting to CSV, percents are converted to numbers | 10/1/2020 - Known bug but timeline for release not known |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Pinboard | Feature | Allow 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) | |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Pinboard | Bug/ Feature | When a user requests access to a pinboard, an email goes to our TS support queue | It 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.html | 10/1/2020 - TS to follow up with configuration options |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Answer | Feature | Ability to change line in line chart to dotted line, or change thickness of line | 10/1/2020 - Not on roadmap for next 6 months | |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Answer | Feature | Ability to change color of data labels and axis labels | 10/1/2020 - Not on roadmap for next 6 months | |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Answer | Feature | Ability to remove axis labels | 10/1/2020 - Not on roadmap for next 6 months | |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Answer | Feature | Abililty to color certain data points on a line graph | Make a particular data point a different color in order to call out a certain data point. | 10/1/2020 - Not on roadmap for next 6 months |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Answer | Feature | Ability to add annotations on graph | 10/1/2020 - 7.1/7.2 Release (early to mid 2021) | |
9/1/2020 | 10/1/2020 | Answer | Feature | Ability to use formulas for conditional formatting | 10/1/2020 - Not on roadmap for next 6 months |
