We have some ideas for enhancing Pulse: Once a Pulse alert has been created, have the ability to edit the filter from the Pulse page. Have the ability to create Pulse as an option from the entire dashboard.  Users would select a measure for the pulse and set filter conditions from the model in question directly. Make the Pulse input pop-up available within the application for developers (e.g. 3rd Party) to exploit from plugins they have developed. Add ability to configure Pulse to trigger on a schedule (once per day, once per week, etc.), e.g. when a build is done, the alert gets sent according to the schedule. Option to set Pulse to trigger when value changes in any direction rather than having to set up a specific calculation. ... View more

In a pivot table, I want the ability to display a certain number of values for each grouping.   For example - I want to see the top 5 Cities by Population for each Country. Currently, I would need to fitler individually on each country to see that, but I want my pivot table to have all Countries and each of their 5 cities as the next level down. Currently, Sisense only lets me see 5 cities total and their corresponding country, not 5 cities per country. ... View more

We have tried increasing the row limit for CSV download of live models to 250K rows but Report Manager is still limiting output to 5,000 rows which is the query setting of live models. We would appreciate a specific setting for Report Manager that determines the number of rows or have RM use the row limit defined for the report type (in this case CSV and 250K rows). Changing the query limit for the model does impact the report manager, but this impacts all users and every UI interaction, so the data retrieval volume explodes. There should be an independent setting related to report generation. ... View more

It's the standard in our industry that products are on sale only for a limited time. For example, tickets being sold for an event aren't sold after the event has occurred. But there's not way to forecast future sales and prevent the forecast from predicting sales after the event has passed and no sales can possibly happen. Instead, customers have to edit every forecast that is currently predicting beyond its event date, every day, to predict only the correct number of future periods.  We'd like a way to predict N future periods, but not past a point in time at which inventory is scheduled to be no longer available. ...

When you duplicate a widget in Analytics, it automatically duplicates next to your current widget. If you already have multiple widgets in that row (which you've spent time sizing to give a nice appearance on the dashboard - and they're not just distributed evenly on the row), the new widget then resizes all the previous widgets in the row so it will fit onto the row. When you then move the new widget to its own row, the widgets on the previous row have to then all be resized to get the sizes you wanted again.  Some options for different experiences... Option to duplicate widget to bottom of dashboard Option to duplicate widget to "new row" which puts the new widget on its own dedicated row below the row from which it's being duplicated When a widget is duplicated on a row, and then moved out of that row, maybe the remaining widgets could redistribute back to how they were prior to the duplication ...

I would like to be able to run a "lineage/dependency" report in Sisense. Something that will tell me for all the cube/live data sources: - Data source name - Type (cube/live) - Dates of the data model (created, modified, last built) - Data sources being referenced and type (web service, database, etc.) - Details of each data sources (SQL Server, servername, database name) - Tables or objects being referenced by those data sources It's important for managing the environment to know what we are using, or have an easy way to know what data sets/dashboards would break if a table's structure were changed in the database. ...

It seems strange to me that each time I need to add another table to my model, I have to re-enter all the connection (or pick a recent connection). If i have 10 tables in my model, they all have their own individual connection information. If a server name ever gets renamed, it'll be a crazy headache for us. There should be a place where you define the distinct list of actual database connections (one per server or database), give it a name, apply security, etc. And then when you go to add a table to a data model, at that point you pick from the previously defined available list of connections. ...

Bar charts show the bars sorted in order by their label.  Sometimes you want the bars to be in ascending/descending order by their sizes (i.e. the value being measured), so that the most significant items are on one side or the other.   While we're at it, the option in the bar chart design to Limit the number of bars being shown to just the "Top X", would help where you have situations where again you want to focus on the most significant items (smallest or largest) without outliers throwing it off. ...

Hello, Currently, when we want to add a recipient to a new dashboard schedule, the dashboard has to be previously shared with the recipient. If it isn't, the recipient doesn't show up in the autocompletion list (emails - users name). In that case you need firstly to go back to the dashboard, share it with the recipient, come back to ReportManager and finally, add the recipient to the new schedule. This is confusing to our users who in such case consider this as a bug. => New behaviour wished :  When you add a recipient to a ReportManager schedule it automatically shares the dashboard with him. Which makes sense since if you want to send a dashboard to a user, it implies you want to share it with him. ... View more

At the moment, the caching period of live models is set for the whole instance which removed flexibility where you'd want the caching period to be different for exceptionally large models.  For example, we have a table we have to ingest via a live connection as it is too big for elasticubes - but wouldn't want the caching period for this live connection to be too "low" as it would cost a lot via AWS.  However, we would want a low caching period for low latency reporting ...

Summary: Live Model slow, can be fixed by prioritising a filter I use a Live Model to return info about a few records from a big dataset. One filter should efficiently narrow the big dataset down. But the server sometimes applies other filters or joins first, making it unusably slow. I want an option to tell the Live Model to fetch the important filter's items first, and then write those items into the filtering clause when writing the main query. That will cause the server to correctly discover that applying the important filter first is the most efficient query plan.   Details (I'm querying SQL Server, but I suspect other sources would also benefit.) Sisense documentation says "Analytical Engine inserts filtering clauses into the innermost SQL statement. This means that filtering is the first operation performed". Sometimes that helps performance. But it depends on the source server. If you apply multiple filters or joins, the server may decide to perform a less efficient one first, or it may parallelise. In my case, my query went from a few seconds to over an hour depending on the server's choice.  The problem is that the server can't estimate the cardinality of the "filtering clauses" entered by Sisense. For example: The server doesn't know that my "dimCustomer.[Customer Name] = 'Joe Bloggs'" filter returns only 100 rows from my fact table, whereas "dimDateTime.FiscalYear = 2022" returns 100,000,000 rows from the fact table. There is a solution. Instead of "Where Fact.[Customer ID] In (Select [Customer ID] From dimCustomer Where [Customer Name] = 'Joe Bloggs')", Sisense should first run the query Select [Customer ID]... query to find that Joe's ID is 5. Then put the result into the filtering clause, i.e. "Where Fact.[Customer ID] IN (5)". For a hardcoded ID like that, the server can estimate the cardinality, so it sees that filtering on [Customer ID] first will be more efficient that other query plans. Sisense mustn't just do that for all filters. If it tries prefetching "dimDateTime.FiscalYear = 2022", that'll return all 31,536,000 seconds, and then pass that back in the query as "Where Fact.DateTimeID IN (...)".  Solution: The solution I request is: Allow the Live Model developer to set a "Prefetch Filter Items" flag on a field. If it is set, when a widget or dashboard filters that field, then Sisense first creates a query "Select dimSomething.[Relationship column] From dimSomething.FieldWithPrioritisedFilter". Then, when building the main query, change the "filtering clauses" to be "Where Fact.[Relationship column] IN (<put prefetched values here>)". Reference: For reference: https://docs.sisense.com/main/SisenseLinux/analytical-engine-overview.htm: Analytical Engine inserts filtering clauses into the innermost SQL statement. This means that filtering is the first operation performed, minimizing the number of rows that need to be scanned in order to process the query. Complex filters, such as top ranking and filter on measure are significantly improved as a result. Proof of concept: Build a Live Model. FactA joins to DimB on ID_B and to DimC on ID_C. The source is SQL Server. In SQL Server, all three tables have millions of rows, and the FactA has foreign keys to DimB and DimC. DimB.Name has a unique name for each row. DimC.Type is 1 for half the rows, and 0 for half the rows. Create a widget that filters for DimB.Name=<some name> and DimC.Type=1. Use SQL Profiler to find the query your Live Model runs. Run the query; it should take over a minute or time out. Then change the "Where FactA.ID_B IN (Select ID_B From DimB Where DimB.Name IN ('<some name>'))" to instead be "Where FactA.ID_B IN (<copy paste the ID of <some name> here>)". It should run much quicker. The original query might run quickly without change, depending on server settings; if so, mess about with more complicated joins or ask me. In my setting key queries were reliably slow. ... View more
