We've extended the tile editor to support sorting by multiple columns. This is a highly requested feature and helps with cases where you'd first like to sort by a label, and then by a value for example.
It's worth noting that the sorting will carry through into the visualization, meaning you can choose how to sort the bars on a bar chart, or the series on a stacked bar or line chart.
We’ve just launched a powerful new way to compare data - whether it’s tracking support tickets, monitoring cloud spend or keeping an eye on DORA metrics.
With just a few clicks, you can:
- Compare metrics like tickets this month vs. last month (from Zendesk, Jira, HaloPSA etc.)
- Track cloud costs vs. budget or month-over-month spending
- Visualize changes using our scalar tile, overlaying colour for easy insights
And this is just the start - in the future, you’ll be able to combine data from multiple sources
without writing SQL
and add custom calculations
beyond a comparison.📺 Watch the demo below to see how it works!

Improved date filtering
When working with data that includes a date/time column, there are now more options for filtering the data. For example, showing SSL certificates that are expiring in the next 30 days, or showing Jira tickets closed in the last week.
You can now filter dates using three new operators:
- is more than [x] [days/weeks/months] [ago/from now]
- within last [x] [days/weeks/months]
- within next [x] [days/weeks/months]
This now covers many more use cases and enables greater control over the data you're visualizing. If you've got additional cases that aren't covered by these new operators then drop us an email, or try SQL Analytics for complete control over your datasets.
When SquaredUp connects to a new data source, it can sometimes take a couple of minutes to index the various resources and objects. During this time, you can browse any sample dashboards that were installed but they often error or display 'No data to show' as they rely on the indexing process.
We've updated this experience to make it clearer that a data source is still indexing, or flag more clearly when a data source has failed to index. When visiting a sample dashboard you'll see a modal indicating it's in progress or has failed, a link to view further information on the data source page.
We've recently shipped a few small improvements to our fullscreen view. The most notable of these is that we'll launch the fullscreen when interacting with the visualization (unless there is a better drilldown/view to show). For example, when clicking on a donut chart we'll launch the fullscreen view so you can easily see the data behind the visualization. Alongside this we've also shipped the following improvements:
* Added resizable sections to allow you to focus on either the viz or data
* Added table search functionality
* Added a close button for clearer UX
* Displaying data stream warnings

It's now even easier to rename your dashboards. You no longer need to enter edit mode to rename a dashboard. As long as you have permission to do so, just click the title and rename!

Sort by any column
If you've used the Table visualization, you'll be familiar with the ability to sort by any column. Sadly, this same functionality was not available in the Objects tab of the tile editor. We've now retrofitted this functionality, so it's now possible to sort by any column.
To sort a column, click on the heading for that column, A-Z. Click again for Z-A, and again to clear the sort.
When using a Bar chart, you can now display a total annotation. The total shows the sum of all series in any given bar.
To enable the total annotation:
- Create a Bar chart
- Under Annotations, enable _Series total)
The Donut visualization now supports showing data as percentages, making it easier to understand what makes up the data shown on your charts. This is great for showing data like Cost by service, or Tickets by priority.
To enable percentage mode:
- Create a tile showing a Donut chart
- Under Options, enable _Show as percentage_
Receive notifications at a repeating interval if a monitor remains in an error or warning state. New notification rule options let you set customizable intervals (e.g., hourly, daily) with flexible configurations like fixed or increasing intervals, and limits on occurrences. Great for on-going issues tracking.
