Announcement

Organize charts and dashboards with content tags. Preset users can now discover charts, dashboards, and saved queries that are relevant for their projects, functions, and interest areas using tags. Each content can be assigned to multiple tags, making asset organization easier and more flexible.

Troubleshoot issues and ensure regulatory compliance with audit logs ¹. Admins can now track and review team activities in Preset, including workspace access, chart and dashboard updates (create/view/edit/delete), permission changes, and content and data downloads. Usage data is stored in Preset for 30 days and can be exported for longer-term storage.

New Features

Self-Serve Analytics

• Waterfall charts and bubble charts are now available in Preset! Try these chart types to visualize your insights from financial analysis, customer growth analysis, competitive landscape, and more!
