Toucan takes a major leap forward with a brand-new self-service dashboard experience. End-users can build their own dashboards — effortlessly and independently — based on a library of charts created by App Builders. This powerful upgrade is available both embedded in external software and natively within the Toucan platform. Whether you embed Toucan into your product or use it on platform for internal analytics, self-service is now a reality.
👉🏻 Self-service Dashboards In Embed: Scalable, Custom, Effortless
Say goodbye to one-size-fits-all dashboards. With self-service in embed, you can now offer fully customizable dashboards to every user, without extra dev time. Build once, embed in your product, and let each customer make it their own, if you choose to. App Builders stay in control: they decide whether dashboards are view-only or editable. When editing is enabled, each end-user creates their own personal version — leaving the original dashboard untouched. It’s the fastest way to deliver analytics that scale — one dashboard framework, infinite personalized experiences. Reduce support tickets, boost product stickiness, and give your users the power to shape their own data stories — right inside your SaaS.

👉🏻 Self-Service Dashboards in Platform: From App Builders to Everyone
Until now, only App Builders could create dashboards in Toucan. That changes today. With self-service now available on platform, Viewers can also build and edit dashboards — directly in production. They gain the freedom to create and share their own analytics experiences. Dashboards can be kept private, shared with specific users, or made visible to the entire app. Access are fully customizable: view-only or full edit access. It’s a new era of flexibility — without compromising on governance.

Improved Hierarchy & Wording: Options are now organized by Dimension, Measure, and Advanced Parameters. Technical terms have been replaced with clear, user-friendly language.
Streamlined Workflow: A guided, step-by-step layout helps focus on essential tasks, with non-essential options removed for clarity.
✨ Key Benefits:
Effortless Chart Creation: Charts can now be built quickly with a simplified and structured process.
Enhanced Customization: Labels, values, sorting, and display options are easily adjustable—no coding required.
Consistent Design: The new interface aligns with the updated design system, offering a modern and cohesive look.
🔄 Summary of Changes:
Reorganized Interface: Transitioned from a flat list to a structured and intuitive layout.

🧮 DataHub - Datasources
We have added a new option “Trust server certificate“, on the Microsoft SQL Server and Azure MSSQL connectors, this feature offers benefits if you use an untrusted certificate (for example, from a private Certificate Authority or a self-signed certificate)."
We have added a new option in the YouPrep Aggregate Step which allows you to choose if you want to count null values as regular values.
We fixed
🛑 DataHub
Error messages are now more transparent and more actionable. We have paired those new messages with troubleshooting documentation to help resolve your issues.
The full raw error is still available for deeper investigation when needed.
🛒 Variable Hub
You can now use list as a variable type—making it easier to work with multiple values. Lists can be added directly via the UI for external variables, and any array-based user property is now automatically recognized as a list.
You can also add staging default values to list element by element.
We fixed
🔀 Crossfilter
The crossfilter label is displayed as the title of filtered values for enhanced readability.
A maximum of two crossfilter labels can be selected.
🧮 DataHub
Data table columns can now be resized by stretching the bottom right of the column header.

📈Charts
Custom font styles are now supported in new chart designs from the app interface.
The leaderboard and value tile now feature a new animation.
🔀Crossfilter: crossfiltered values now display the crossfilter label as their title for improved readability.
🤫 DataHub: Improved management of connector secrets
The secret fields of connectors are now stored in a dedicated self-hosted Hashicorp Vault bringing our security standards one step further!. Access to a workspace's secrets is now handled as follows:
The dataset service, to access a workspace's secrets, checks if it has a valid token for the given workspace, generating one if needed via Kubernetes authentication (Tokens are valid for one hour and are only stored in memory).
A token only allows access to the secrets of a single workspace, thus ensuring segregation of access to a workspace's secrets
🔌 DataHub - datasources
The user interface has been improved by hiding unused connectors (Github connector, Salesforce Service Cloud (SFSC), SnowflakeOAuth2) by default, resulting in a clearer layout. If you use these connectors you can contact our support to have them back in your interface

These updates provide more flexible and efficient filtering options, ensuring smoother interaction and enhanced performance across different use cases.
To prevent conflicts, aliases set on embeds won’t be copied to the duplicated app. You’ll need to create new aliases in the duplicated app.
