New Features
...
- Global Search
- Global Search is placed in the app bar only for the dashboard space. It runs a search on the Master dashboard (see below) to quickly find app content.
- Global search query can be a normal search or a NLP query to search any result across the app which technically will be a search inside the Masters Dashboard.
- It will not filter down the active dashboard tab as it is supposed to search for results not readily placed under the visible dashboards.
- A user can type a query, upon pressing enter, the search is submitted. Any layer/s from the master dashboard that matches the visibility condition is made visible.
- Master Dashboard
- Master dashboard is essentially a templating dashboard where by using layers, one creates visual templates for different query parameters (including NLP) and visibility conditions.
- This dashboard is not designed to be any of the main dashboards shared with the end-user, instead it is supposed to show layers which meet a visibility condition caused by an NLP or normal query from the Global Search bar.
- By default, a project does not have a dashboard marked as master but any dashboard in a project can be marked as master.
- Only one dashboard at a time can be a master.
- Master dashboard is not visible in the Dashboard space.
- This dashboard controls the visibility of the Global Search bar in the app bar. If a dashboard is marked as master, Global Search bar will appear, otherwise not.
- NLP
- We have built the foundation for a new feature we call Conversational UI. This enables an NLP driven search.
- NLP queries are enabled from the Global Search bar and display the results in the consumption mode.
- A Master Dashboard is built with layers as templates designed to be visible for all combinations of NLP parameters. These layers are displayed as NLP query results.
- In order to answer to the NLP queries, the master dashboard layers should have NLP aggregations rules defined in the visibility condition.
- It is also possible for a layer to be configured to 'Use NLP if available'. In that case, any manual configuration of the widgets inside that layer is ignored and the widgets are automatically configured to answer to NLP queries.
- This feature is still highly experimental and therefore disabled by default. To enable it a few setup and configuration steps are required. Please reach out to Squirro if you are interested in an early access to this feature.
- We have built the foundation for a new feature we call Conversational UI. This enables an NLP driven search.
- Voice Search
- Voice search is an experimental feature enabled from the Global Search bar and only supported on Chrome browser for now.
