Feature Ideas

When implementing similar configurations across multiple dashboards or within the same dashboard, it would be much faster and less error prone for the user to be able to view an object's configuration in plain text and copy/paste it into a different object. Similar to the "View source code" or "View as HTML" you see in many WYSIWYG configuration interfaces. Would love this ability for data sets, variables, and components. This allows a non-developer to reliably update or add a variable/component in one place and propagate those changes to other related objects without having to use an API.

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

We will be introducing "filters" as a variable type to dynamically apply dataset filters.

We have many components (dropdown filters, tables, bar charts) where we display a name/label dimension, but sorting alphabetically by name is not the correct sort order, so we instead want to sort by a related numerical sort column that is not included in the data query. For example, we display Day of Week Name, but want to sort by Day of Week Number, so that it sorts Mon-Sun, instead of alphabetically (Friday, Monday, Saturday, Sunday). Currently I think this would require creating custom components for every single component where we need to override an alphabetical sort. Another example are spending tiers we have that are text strings, so we need to sort them numerically instead of everything starting with a 1 appearing first: “$1-50”, “$51-100”, “$101-250”, "$1000-...".

It would be helpful to be able to define prefix/suffix at the model level and have that pass automatically to the components.

Drilldowns are super helpful for end users, so being able to add them within the no-code builder is really important - e.g. by opening a sub-embeddable via a modal.

End users can download their dashboard as a PDF

To make building dashboards in the no-code builder easier, we'll introduce the concept of 'containers' to layout components on the canvas

An API for retrieving the metadata for a published Embeddable dashboard: The canvas layout (position and size of each widget)The component values (input values and types for each of the component inputs)etc. E.g. GET https://api.embeddable.com/api/v1/embeddables/{embeddableId}

Enable users to schedule Embeddable delivery via email/Slack/Teams etc.

For the next stage of end user self-serve, we'll enable your customers to edit and customise their own charts.

It would be nice to have a variable, e.g. granularity, populate a text input, such as a chart title, so that for example a chart title can be 'Sales by {granularity variable}' and update based on the end users filters

You can currently create a link in the Embeddable table component so that a user can click a row and open a new tab. It would be great if there was an option to open in the same page instead of in a new tab

For non-technical users, sometimes dimensions / measures aren't super clear. It would be great to have the option to add a description somewhere so that users could get more information about a particular dimension or measure if needed
