Feature Ideas

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

Make it easier for Embeddable builders to organise their Embeddables using folders.

Currently you might build a dashboard in dev that you then want to "push" to a live workspace

It would be useful to be able to rotate API key for additional security.

Currently the table size is set based on the size of the container for the table component, which works when there are more rows than the size of the table container, but if there are fewer rows, the container is not responsive - i.e. doesn't shrink to fit the number of rows being shown.

e.g. the ability to use Excel-like logic (if-else, maths, etc.) to write custom expressions using measures and dimensions, directly in the builder (without needing to update your model). Currently you need to manually define a new measure or dimension in the model (e.g. "{active_users} * 100 / {total_users}") to achieve this.

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.

Currently if you have a new code version, you need to go in and re-publish each Embeddable individually. It would be super useful to be able to do this in bulk

When the screen size changes, components dynamically re-size, but it would be useful to be able to control how this happens

Some teams might have their own local databases that they want to use when building locally, instead of using the connections that are set up via the connections API.

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.

When you go under a certain number, chartjs automatically shows ' 0.5' increments on charts, which don't really make sense if the measure data being shown isn't type FLOAT

Currently we store the old model / component versions in Embeddable. While it's super useful to be able to see these generally, sometimes a dashboard version might be saved accidentally and then that version can't be deleted. The model / component versions can also clutter the dropdown a bit as well so would be handy to have a way to review / tidy these.

Right now you can input/output variables, which is awesome, but there's no way to trigger a component-defined action (e.g., "Begin Downloading All" or "Refresh Data"), nor to receive a component-defined event (e.g., "Column is Clicked") from the outer page that contains the em-beddable. Use case is really anytime you want more control. If – rather than using the components' buttons – you have buttons as part of your outer page to use, you could trigger the action within the component. Etc. (Triggers are probably higher priority than Events, since we have variables.) Workaround: boolean variable + Embeddable state for "RecevedTrigger" (as a latch to avoid re-triggers).

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
