Viewing object properties in the tile editor
It's now much easier to view the properties of objects when using the tile editor.
For example, perhaps you'd like to see or filter by the resource group when selecting Azure objects, or see which objects have a certain AWS tag. This functionality has existed for a while but it's been buried and not in the place you'd expect it. We've surfaced this UI much more clearly and accessibly.
In addition, it's now also possible to view and filter by an object's
sourceType
. This can be useful as this value is often the tool-specific type that you might be used to seeing elsewhere, e.g. microsoft.web/virtualmachine
or AWS::Lambda::Function
.- In the Objects tab of the tile editor, select the "Add column" button
- Select the property you'd like to view
- The column is now added, and you can also filter against this column in the left-hand filter pane.

KPI rollups
You can now surface all your KPIs on the organization home. KPIs are used to track and report key numbers (for example an SLO, app response times, DORA metrics).
When you publish a metric on a dashboard tile as a KPI (See KPIs), it becomes visible outside of its original workspace for everyone to see.
On the organization home, you can now choose to display KPIs and filter your workspaces, allowing you to report on things like customer KPIs, team KPIs, and more at a glance.
Specify additional email domains at the workspace level when sharing dashboards using
"Anyone in my organization (restricted by email domains)"
This is useful in a managed service scenario when each workspace represents a customer, to ensure that only a specific customer (using their email domain) can only see shared dashboards from their workspace.
We're excited to announce a brand new tile, that allows you to embed other web pages and content into your dashboards. We've had many requests to include other pages into dashboards, for example existing PowerBI dashboards, or internal company portals.
We've extended the tile editor to support grouping by multiple columns. This opens up several use cases across lots of data sources:
- Grouping by date and another property, e.g. builds failed by day, split by pipeline
- Grouping by multiple properties, e.g. by opportunity status and by customer type
This works really well with our Bar chart, using the Stacked display option.
Notification alerts that are sent out from SquaredUp to external tools (e.g. Slack, Teams, etc) include an image preview of the visualisation that is triggering the notification. The image can now be set by the user to show in dark or light mode to best display on the external tool.
We've recently made some changes to how dates and times are processed and displayed in SquaredUp. Primarily we now ensure dates and times are displayed in a user's local timezone to ensure the data makes sense to them.
For this to apply, the column will need to be specified as a 'Date' column using the
Columns
tab of the tile editor. Previously, this only understand UNIX timestamps and strings in ISO format, but we've extended this to support any specified format, e.g. dd/mm/yyyy or d/M/Y. You can also customise the output format in the same way.Specifying date input and output formats
- In the tile editor, select the Columnstab
- For the chosen column, set TypetoDate
- Expand the section using the chevron.
- Edit the Output Format and Input Format as required.
We've recently improved the line chart to more easily show multiple metrics. The
Y-Axis
dropdown now supports the selection of multiple datastream columns. This results in multiple series on the line chart, one for each column selected.One of the key parts to building a dashboard is finding the data you're looking for. Sometimes, when presented with a long list of data streams this can be challenging. In our pursuit of making this as easy as possible we're rolling out two new features to the tile editor.
Featured data streams 🔥
We're now featuring the most important and most useful datastreams at the top of the list in the tile editor, helping you more quickly find the metric or data you're looking for.
Recently used data streams 🕣
Alongside our featured streams, you'll also find recently used data streams floated to the top of the list. So, when you're next building a dashboard and using that same metric data streams multiple times, no more scrolling down the list to find it - it'll be right there at the top!
If you prefer the original sort order, or just want to find something alphabetically you can always click the Name heading to sort A-Z or Z-A.
Drag and drop your dashboards and folders inside folders and create nested folder structures. Great for organising long dashboard lists inside your workspaces. Learn more
