We're excited to announce a brand new tile, that allows you to embed other web pages and content into your dashboards. We've had many requests to include other pages into dashboards, for example existing PowerBI dashboards, or internal company portals.

We've extended the tile editor to support grouping by multiple columns. This opens up several use cases across lots of data sources:
  • Grouping by date and another property, e.g. builds failed by day, split by pipeline
  • Grouping by multiple properties, e.g. by opportunity status and by customer type
This works really well with our Bar chart, using the Stacked display option.

Notification alerts that are sent out from SquaredUp to external tools (e.g. Slack, Teams, etc) include an image preview of the visualisation that is triggering the notification. The image can now be set by the user to show in dark or light mode to best display on the external tool.

We've recently made some changes to how dates and times are processed and displayed in SquaredUp. Primarily we now ensure dates and times are displayed in a user's local timezone to ensure the data makes sense to them.
For this to apply, the column will need to be specified as a 'Date' column using the
Columns
tab of the tile editor. Previously, this only understand UNIX timestamps and strings in ISO format, but we've extended this to support any specified format, e.g. dd/mm/yyyy or d/M/Y. You can also customise the output format in the same way.

Specifying date input and output formats
  1. In the tile editor, select the
    Columns
    tab
  2. For the chosen column, set
    Type
    to
    Date
  3. Expand the section using the chevron.
  4. Edit the Output Format and Input Format as required.
We've recently improved the line chart to more easily show multiple metrics. The
Y-Axis
dropdown now supports the selection of multiple datastream columns. This results in multiple series on the line chart, one for each column selected.

One of the key parts to building a dashboard is finding the data you're looking for. Sometimes, when presented with a long list of data streams this can be challenging. In our pursuit of making this as easy as possible we're rolling out two new features to the tile editor.
Featured data streams 🔥
We're now featuring the most important and most useful datastreams at the top of the list in the tile editor, helping you more quickly find the metric or data you're looking for.
Recently used data streams 🕣
Alongside our featured streams, you'll also find recently used data streams floated to the top of the list. So, when you're next building a dashboard and using that same metric data streams multiple times, no more scrolling down the list to find it - it'll be right there at the top!
If you prefer the original sort order, or just want to find something alphabetically you can always click the Name heading to sort A-Z or Z-A.

  • Limits are displayed dynamically depending on the current plan
  • Data queries are now split into 3 metered categories: Monitors, Shared dashboards and API requests. Learn more

With our continued focus on making our tile editor experience as easy to use as possible, we've revamped the visualisation configuration UI. With the additional of collapsible sections, configuration is much easier and you can quickly see the available options at a glance.
