Feature Ideas
Submit IdeaBe able to limit the dimensions/measures that end users can access in custom canvas
Currently in custom canvas, when you enable users to select measures/dimensions for their charts, they will have access to all measures and dimensions are available via joins to the data model used. It would be great to have functionality in the UI to allow you to manage which are visible to the end users.

Ability for end users to create custom measures from datasets
For example, if a dataset has a measure for total_costs and a measure for total_income, an end-user could create a calculation in their custom canvas for "gross profit" by calculating total_income - total_costs.

Allow users to clone a dashboard using custom canvas
It would be great to be able to allow end users to clone a custom canvas dashboard so they can take an existing custom canvas, clone it, and then continue to make their own custom edits.

Limit which components are available in the self-serve canvas
In the builder, it would be useful to have certain components not available to be added to the self-serve dashboard (e.g. filters). Some components won't make sense, and if this is defined in the component code, then it saves the builder user from having to understand which components are relevant for the end user.

Full customisation of custom canvas UI
Right now, certain elements of the custom canvas UI are fixed (e.g. the template popover screen, the 'cancel/add chart' buttons in the template edit UI). It would be great if that was something that could be fully customised so that it could fit with similar behaviours in teams' applications.

Enable translation for Custom Canvas
Specifically, it would be great to support translation for buttons like 'Add a chart' and anywhere there is text in the end-user custom canvas flow.

Chart preview functionality in custom canvas
Currently users can only see the name of the chart in custom canvas (Embeddable's functionality that allows your end-users to build their own dashboards). It would be great if there was some way to show them a visual preview of the chart they are adding - like chart previews in the builder experience.

Ability for users to manage filters in custom canvas
Currently in custom canvas, your end-users can customise and define the charts they want to see on their dashboard, but they cannot define filters. It would be nice if they could do the full dashboard-build process including building and selecting filters and linking them to the relevant charts that they want to filter within their custom dashboard.

Enable dashboard rollback for Custom Canvas dashboards
End users might accidentally get their dashboard into a bad state and need to undo changes. It would be great if there was some way to undo / rollback their edits.

Support SAML auth (e.g. Okta) for user accounts
Many organisations have their own identify providers, and would prefer to use these for access to the Embeddable platform, rather than what we currently support: user / passwordgoogle SSO

AI analytics chat
End-users can ask questions about data in natural language, and edit self-serve analytics dashboard with the help of AI.

Custom Canvas Template Search Function
I have a lot of templates available to users, and it's only going to grow! I'd like them to be able to search through the templates by name or by what data is being displayed.

Ability to resize the preview window in custom canvas
For end users who are using custom canvas to build / edit charts it can be tricky if the chart / data doesn't really fit or work with the chart preview overlay. It would be great if they could drag the preview space to be bigger so they could see certain charts properly

Select all / De-select all option in multi-select dropdown
This would make it much easier for end users with a lot of options in the multi-select dropdown

A Duplicate button on dashboard widgets
Wouldn't it be amazing if there was a copy/clone button close to the Edit and Delete ones 🥺
