Filters: can now be dependant!
You can now establish a connection between the values of one filter and the selection made in another filter. That is super useful for your end users to be able to select only the relevant filter values based on another dimension. For example, if you have a filter based on “Brands” and another based on “Countries”, by linking “Countries” to “Brands” you would only see the Countries where the Brand is present.
To achieve this, you need to use the "Filter rows" step in YouPrep to filter the input dataset of the "child" filter. .
Chart edition
When selecting a chart’s type, the search is now autofocused by default
Changing the chart’s dataset (also relevant for tiles and HKPIs), the form is no longer reset. This improvement will even get better as “a smart reset” will be released soon 🪄
Chart edition:
A column containing a null value in the first row of the dataset is not listed within the SmartEditor
Dataset columns were not listed due to the application of permissions (that shouldn’t be applied in the edition context).
Charts: various fixes on Waterfall, bullet chart, and circular chart
Filters:
Various fixes on checkboxes & sliders
Cannot use the default value when it is a number
App management:
Story duplication was broken
Story move within a chapter was broken
In an embedded app, the Send Home option doesn’t work
The custom color series are reset when changing themes.
Dashboard: A dashboard containing a hierarchical filter cannot be downloaded.
Administration: can't add an admin user to a group.
This release is dedicated to quality improvement while we are working on exciting new features for 2024 🥳!
We fixed:
Filters: Can use default value with a number
Charts
Bubble charts (R metric and drill)
Linechart (manual events and color zones)
Waterfall: when clicking to drill, it changed bars' order
Can't save a crossfilter on HKPIs
App management
Impossible to link a tile to a story
Impossible to save a story with advanced units
Administration: Avoid potential vulnerabilities with version upgrades of our dependencies
Files management
Data is not displayed on the right sheet when having multiple data sheets
The file preview is loading indefinitely
Dashboard
Duplicate dashboard can't be modified
Display of table charts
Filters: Welcome to the "Slider" filter
This new filter is a valuable tool for users who need to filter data based on dates. It also features an autoplay option that enables powerful storytelling capabilities.
Fast dataset selection: Save time when creating new charts! The chart configuration form now automatically preselects the last dataset you used.
Filter’s additional variable with “All” selection: You can now refer to a filter additional variable even if the actual filter selection is on “All”
YouPrep date column filtering: You can now refer to a variable when making a “Filter rows” step on a date column
Datahub fast loading: Experience the revamped Datahub, which now loads up to 10 times faster, significantly improving your workflow efficiency
Charts
Minor bugs on funnelchart, mapchart, HKPI, and tile value
No data was displayed when editing the type of chart to a tablechart
Collaboration: Send Home was not working
Administration: Viewer or Validator can’t create an embed tile but has access to the button
Filters:
Possibility to use dates in a dropdown filter
Filters could disappear when linked to a story that was deleted
Impossible to use columns with space in it
Data: Unnecessary page loading required after data operations
Enhanced Visualization Creation: Enjoy a smoother, more interactive approach to crafting visual elements like charts, tiles, and filters.
Dataset Preview: When selecting a dataset for a visual element, you can now preview it to ensure you're using the right one.
Tabular Data View: Explore the data behind your charts with a tabular view of the chart's input dataset.
Effortless Dataset Editing: Experience seamless transitions when editing or creating datasets from charts. You'll be automatically redirected back to the visual you were configuring, eliminating the need for manual navigation.
Improved Consistency: Benefit from enhanced consistency between chart and filter creation, offering a more guided experience.
Modern Chart Configuration: We've updated the chart configuration panel to provide a sleeker and more contemporary user experience.
Filters need to be explicitly saved when created. Don't forget to hit the button "Save" for your Filters to work!
Duration format display: Now, you can showcase duration data (in seconds) with new formats including days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds, using the Precision feature.
Filters: No more scopes! We used to have what we called "App Filters" and "Story Filters". But we see that segregation to misunderstanding and could block some use cases. We're now simply talking about "Filters" and we can still pin them inside a story, with a dedicated UI that will bring a better user experience!
Hierarchical Filter: We added the option "Only last level" to allow you to force your end-users to select the final level of a hierarchy, preventing them from stopping at intermediate levels when filtering visualizations.
Event Emitter System (Embed SDK): You can listen to a new event: chart:drill. It will allow you to set up customized actions through the SDK whenever a user makes a drill within a chart!
Datahub loading: Enjoy significantly faster loading times for your Datahub!
Dataset save: Save datasets, even with errors, for future reference and editing
We fixed:
Charts: Various fixes on chart options that weren’t possible to save (drill, groups, etc.)
Dashboard Builder: Need to refresh a Dashboard Builder after saving it
Embeds: Embedded items are associated with the incorrect application
Filters
Date Range displays its default value
Filters are not applying Preview mode context
Alerts: Impossible to attach a story to an alert
User administration
Inconsistent User Permission behavior when editing it
Admin couldn’t create/update admin user
Workspace: Log out needs a refresh to be effective
Smart Editor: “No aggregation” is now available!
While the Smart Editor simplifies data aggregation at the chart level, sometimes specific computations still require prior data preparation.
To make this process more explicit and avoid unintended changes to your dataset (such as changing your dataset’s sorting), we've added a "no aggregation" operator. It keeps your input dataset untouched in your charts and KPIs.
Please note: Using this operator ensures that no further aggregations apply to secondary values (e.g. targets, additional values etc.).
You can now change the display order of App Filters easily, without having to unpin et pin them again!
We fixed:
Data
Impossible to select a column in the permission editor
Not consistent Waterfall step (YouPrep) results
Dataset refresh blocked by other refresh operations not running
Random blank screens on Datahub
Charts: Couldn’t add an aggregation on the Bulletchart’s tile comparison option
App management: Duplicate an app resulted in a broken staging
⚙️ Introducing JWKS (JSON Web Key Sets) support – a powerful feature that enhances your control and security over embed tokens in Toucan.
⚙️ Google BigQuery Authentication: JWT Support
⚙️We've fine-tuned the token verification process to provide you with more insightful information: now, Embed Manager’s check token not only returns the user context but also provides warnings if privileges are set for non-existing apps
We fixed:
Data
Error when trying to preview a custom SQL query from Snowflake connector
Permissions on datasets not duplicated when duplicating an app
PostgreSQL error when querying a table for which the same name is used on 2 different schemas
Charts
Wrong label used on Bulletchart
Cross filter not taken into account when arriving in a story

Dashboard Builder: Overflowing preview of stories that could prevent from selecting it
Misc: Inconsistent font weight on Safari
With JWKS (), you can share multiple public keys with Toucan. This capability enables us to verify your embed tokens, which may be signed by various private keys on your end. This dynamic key rotation mechanism significantly bolsters the security of tokens that grant access to your Toucan analytics.
We're thrilled to announce the addition of (JSON Web Token) support for authentication in our Google BigQuery connector. This new feature empowers you to securely send JWTs to Toucan, enabling seamless and personalized queries of your Google BigQuery data warehouse. Learn more in our .
