Previously, chart customization was available only from the Report Creation/Data Exploration page. With this update, you can now customize charts directly from the Dashboard Designer canvas page, making it easier to format visualizations while building your dashboard.

What’s New​

You can now customize chart appearance directly from the Dashboard Designer canvas page. Select a chart on the canvas to access formatting options tailored to the selected visualization.

Customization options include:

• Data Labels: Show or hide value labels and customize their number format, position, font, size, style, and color.
• Axes: For axis-based charts, customize X-axis and Y-axis visibility, names, fonts, colors, tick marks, and axis lines.
• Gridlines: Control gridline visibility, style, width, and color.
• Legend: Show or hide the legend and customize its position, font, size, style, and color.

Context-Aware Formatting​

The available formatting options automatically adapt to the selected chart type. Axis-based charts provide X-axis and Y-axis customization, while non-axis-based charts, such as pie and radar charts, display only the formatting options relevant to them.

With these enhancements, you can create dashboards that are not only more informative but also better aligned with your preferred visual style and reporting needs.

With Conversational Analysis, your AI assistant has evolved from a report builder into a trusted, interactive analyst—ready to help you discover insights faster than ever.

From Spreadsheet to Insights in Minutes​

Spreadsheets are everywhere—but turning them into insights is often harder than it should be. Picture this:

• Customer survey results sitting in Excel
• A CRM export in CSV format
• A delivery report arriving as an email attachment

Traditionally, analyzing these files meant:

• Raising tickets with data engineering
• Setting up one-off ETL jobs
• Wrestling with database access
• Waiting hours (or days) to start exploring

Not anymore.

With Grafieks, you can now upload CSV or Excel files directly into the platform and analyze them instantly with our in-memory processing engine. And with AI, finding insights is faster than ever.

What’s New

• CSV & Excel Import – Bring your datasets into Grafieks in just a few clicks.
• In-Memory Analysis – No waiting around; process data instantly with Grafieks's high-performance engine.
• Faster Insights – Explore, filter, and visualize imported data without external dependencies.

Why It Matters Until now, analysis in Grafieks was limited to connected data sources. With this release, you can upload flat files and still take advantage of Grafieks’s scalable in-memory technology, enabling you to:

• Quickly analyze ad-hoc datasets.
• Combine spreadsheet-based data with connected sources.
• Empower business users to explore insights without IT support.

From inbox to insights—no pipelines, no waiting.

We’re excited to announce five powerful new features in Grafieks that significantly enhance how teams explore, understand, and communicate data. Here's what’s new:

1. AI-Powered Data Discovery​

Unlock smarter analytics with AI-powered insight prompts. Grafieks now automatically surfaces trends, anomalies, and correlations from your datasets—helping you ask better questions and spot what matters faster. Grafieks also suggests the best chart type for each insight query, so you can visualize your findings in the most effective way—instantly.

2. Automated Report Summaries (with Zero Data Exposure)​

No more manual summaries. Grafieks now generates natural-language report overviews—without exposing raw data. These AI-written summaries give stakeholders quick, secure access to key takeaways.

3. Custom Fields​

You asked, we delivered. Create custom expression —no code or data team required. Define your own formulas, KPIs, and metrics using built-in functions and expressions tailored to your business needs, and see changes instantly reflected in visualizations.

4. Native dbt core Integration​

Bring modeling and metrics to the forefront with first-class dbt Core support. Grafieks syncs your dbt projects—including models, tests, and descriptions—so your metrics are always in context and always up-to-date.

5. Unified Data Catalog​

Explore your data in one place. Our new catalog view lets users browse tables, metadata, metrics from dbt, and custom fields—all searchable, all connected. Built for discovery and governance, side by side.

1. Conditional formatting in a Pivot Table​

You can now apply conditional formatting in a pivot table. It will enable you to highlight specific values based on conditions, making it easier to analyze data.

2. Enhanced Text Widget with a built-in Text Editor​

A new Text Editor has been introduced for the Text Widget, allowing for easier formatting and customization.

1. Geo bubble chart​

You can now use geo bubble chart to display information on a map, making it easier to analyze geographic trends and distributions.

2. Pinning items to your homepage​

You can pin essential items to the homepage for easy and quick access, ensuring that frequently used items are always readily available whenever you need them. This helps improve efficiency and saves time by reducing the need to search for them manually.

1. Receive alerts based on data conditions​

You can now set up Data Alerts and get notified via email or in-app notification channel. This enhancement is designed to give you flexibility and control, making it easier to set up data alerts. Unlike other BI tool, you have two options:

i. Set up a condition without a timestamp: You can configure a condition that evaluates based on both categorical and numerical data without involving timestamps. For example, a condition might check if a product category matches a specific value (categorical) and whether the associated numerical value, such as price or quantity, exceeds a defined threshold. This allows you to set flexible conditions that work independently of time, focusing solely on the data attributes.

ii. Set up a timestamp condition: Timestamp-based conditions can be configured to evaluate only when the timestamp falls between the last run and the next run of the scheduler. For instance, this is useful in scenarios where you want to process data or trigger actions only for events or records that occurred within a specific time window, ensuring the condition is aligned with your scheduler's execution intervals.

2. New and improved Pivot table for live data connect​

Experience improved performance with this enhancement—pivot tables now render faster than ever. Analyze your data seamlessly without delays.

3. Increased width of maximized report view​

This enhancement provides improved visibility for widget content, especially in report widgets, ensuring clearer and more accessible insights.

3. "All" option added in the filter​

The filter now includes an 'ALL' option, making it easier to view and analyze comprehensive data at once.

4. Real-Time Streaming Now Supported in KPI Charts and table​

KPI charts are now available for real-time streaming, enabling dynamic tracking of key performance metrics.
