Build monitor
Hi, We are having several issues when dealing with Elasticube Builds. We can now schedule the build (both UI and REST API), but we have no tool to monitor and control this key functionality. What's the history of the builds for a cube? When can we see the whole picture of the time each build for each cube happens to optimize resources and find concurrent builds in time? Now we can just see the last build log, as an isolated entity. We cannot monitor all the builds as a whole, to see the whole picture of all the builds (when it happened, how many time it got, etc.). As administrators, we have no way to control now this. Even we cannot check the history of builds for a cube. It's a critical feature for administrators. Best
Transfer ownership of objects (data models, dashboards)
Would like an easy way to transfer ownership of objects to someone else. Or for a super-user admin to be able to "take ownership" of a data model or dashboard. Will make it easier to deal with when someone leaves the company and they owned things in Sisense.
Add robust folder management
We have created many folders (and subfolders) to help us organize our dashboards. It is currently very cumbersome to share folder access and ownership, which must be done for every dashboard within the folders. It would be nice if there were an easy (and native) way to share access to a folder and every dashboard within it, or to change ownership of a folder.
Easy way to change Sisense server IP address
When a Sisense server's IP address changes, you have to reinstall Sisense. I want a script or button that changes all the relevant settings. We need it because we're planning changes to our network. There are other reasons that an IP address might need to change, e.g. I might restore from a system image backup to a different location, or I might start a new server and, after testing, want to redirect my old server's IP address to it. We'll do it by reinstalling, but that feels like more work than it should be.
Global ElastiCube Builds Schedule Report
Currently there’s no way on the Sisense UI to have an overview of when the next ElastiCube Builds are set for. Having such info available would make it possible to easily select relevant time slots to run load testing scripts for instance, but also more broadly to help understand and finetune the current Builds orchestration. In order to do so, we would like for admin roles to have access to a single table-like page that would list all the Builds scheduled in the next 24 hours with the following columns: ElastiCube name Build start date Build theoretical end date* Last successful Build duration * Build theoretical end date = Build start date + Last successful Build duration * (or NULL in the rare event where the Build has never succeeded before) Additional features: CSV Export Sort option on column headers Pagination Note: a single Elasticube can have more than one entry (in the example below, we assume the admin user opens the page at 3:00 PM and the ElastiCube_B's Build is launched every 2 hours).Make user parameters more dynamic
**Please note this idea was migrated to the Product Feedback Forum from older submission areas** User parameters must be set and cannot be used for dynamic customizations. When setting up data models, these parameters cannot be included as part of a filter in the underlying query. We would like a way to reference a global or system variable that includes the username of the currently logged in user.API to retrieve Sessions Table details
**Please note this idea was migrated to the Product Feedback Forum from older submission areas** Sisense doesn’t have an API to get data from the Sessions Table. This data is available in the UI only. We would like to be able to use this data in a custom application that we have built. We’d like to see an API that will allow us to get the Session Table details.
Email Digest for end users
It would be cool if our end users could receive a Digest Email that is sent out on a frequent basis from Sisense. This email would be most relevant if it was based on the groups a user is assigned to already. This would ensure relevant communication, as well as ensure there is control over the reports included in the digest that the user would already have access to them. We would not want the digest email to included recommended reports the user doesn't already have access to. If it was a feature the Admin could turn on/off at the group level that would be our preference. The feature would allow the Admin to select how often the digest went out (weekly, monthly, etc). The feature would allow the Admin to select what content was included: For example: Changes, Top Used/Popular in the Users Groups (i.e. Org), and then for us I think Newly Published Reports would be ideal. This would allow an organization to choose whether every time a new dashboard is released the user is notified, for us we would prefer a section in the digest that has these 3 dashboards were released to your group(s). Other BI tools do already offer this-- Attached is an example of the Power BI digest, as reference. Thanks!
Ability for Admin to view a dashboard as another user
As an admin, have an option at the top of a dashboard to be able to view it as another specific user. For example, if user John Smith is set under the data security on a cube to only have access to rows for a certain region, the ability to view a dashboard as John Smith would make checking user access very easy.
Ability to disable (but not delete) users
There needs to be a way to deactivate user accounts rather than completing removing. We have users that will no longer have access to the system, but could come back later (for example, trail users). The workarounds are currently: reassigning security groups (means those users are still taking up licenses) writing our own user admin functionality (only makes sense if we are integrating users to another platform) Adding a 'Status' or 'Disabled' flag to the user account would accomplish this.
