The new custom timeframe feature lets you go beyond the standard presets by defining your own time ranges for dashboards and tiles. You can create advanced timeframes like “last 4 hours”, “previous week”, or “this fiscal year", as well as fixed timeframes with exact start and end dates. You can also set the first day of the week or the start of the year. These options give you a lot of flexibility to tailor data views to your specific needs.

Changelog - June Update

In June, we introduced the MongoDB data source and powerful Custom Formatting for full control over how data is displayed alongside many bug fixes and smaller enhancements: e.g. more precise scoping with source types. On the plugins side of things, Elasticsearch, and Microsoft 365 plugins saw major upgrades, while Azure, Jira, and others gained fixes and new data streams. All plugins now support fixed IP whitelisting for improved security (learn more).

The new MongoDB data source lets you query and visualise data from any MongoDB-compatible database. It supports connections to both cloud-hosted and on-premise databases (via the Relay Agent). Run flexible queries on your MongoDB collections using find, count, distinct, and Aggregate operations. Supports filters, projections, sorting, and aggregation pipelines with JSON syntax. Ideal for visualising and monitoring operational or business data stored in MongoDB.

We’re pleased to introduce Custom Formatting - giving you full control over how your data is displayed using JavaScript-powered Mustache-style expressions.
Whether you're formatting numbers, combining text, or manipulating strings, you can now:
  • 🔢 Perform on-the-fly calculations (e.g.
    {{ $['value'] / 1000 }}
    )
  • 🧠 Combine multiple columns (
    Progress: {{ $['a'] }} of {{ $['b'] }}
    )
  • ✂️ Trim or transform strings (
    {{ $['name'].substring(0, 20) }}
    )
All formatting is cosmetic only, so your underlying data remains unchanged.
✨ Built-in IntelliSense helps guide you as you type, and error handling ensures it’s easy to debug.
Try it out under the Columns tab in any tile. We can’t wait to see how you use it!
PS. We're currently working on a way of creating custom columns and new values on the fly, e.g. creating a link from a template, or generating a health state based on a condition. If you're interested in joining the private preview reach out to dave.clarke@squaredup.com.

In May, we launched several exciting updates, including the general availability of SQL Analytics, making it easier to work with complex datasets, and introduced a new HaloPSA plugin for service management insights. We also added a smart layout tidy-up feature to help streamline dashboards. Enhancements spanned visualizations, tables, and SQL features, while a wide range of bug fixes improved chart rendering, performance, and editor consistency. Plugins saw major improvements too, with new data streams and dashboards for platforms like GitHub, Jira, and Zendesk, plus better support for static IPs and stability across key integrations.

We're pleased to release a real delighter and popular feature request - it's now possible to remove the
empty space
from your dashboards with one-click. Often when moving tiles around on a dashboard, you're left with an empty row or some space that you'd like to collapse. This previously meant manually dragging each tile into the right spot, but you can use the '
Tidy layout
' to do that for you!

The new HaloPSA data source lets you monitor and visualize data from your HaloPSA environment, making it ideal for IT service management dashboards. The integration offers several data streams including:
  • Reports: which pulls data from saved reports in HaloPSA
  • Tickets: which returns a list of tickets and can be scoped by client
  • Clients details: which returns detailed information for specific clients

We're pleased to announce that our powerful SQL Analytics feature is out of beta, and generally available for all customers. As part of this release we've made some changes to make it even easier to work with multiple datasets or perform advanced shaping using SQL.
  • Full IntelliSense support and syntax highlighting
    : When writing your query, you'll see now autocomplete prompts for column names, dataset names as well as all available SQL commands.
  • Migrated to DuckDB
    : Under the covers we've moved to DuckDB - this is more standard PostgreSQL-compatible processing engine, and means you'll be able to write queries more easily with familiar commands and operations.
  • Improved navigation/step UX
    : As part of the recent tile editor updates, we've also simplified the navigation experience between multiple datasets.
In April, we introduced a major upgrade to the
tile editor
, making it faster and easier than ever to visualize data with a new splash screen, smarter data selection, dockable panels, and improved SQL editing. Let us know your feedback (hello@squaredup.com).
We also expanded our
Microsoft 365 data source
with 8 new dashboards, relay agent support, and enhanced performance. It's also been a great month for customer delighters with many great feature requests rolling out this month:
pausing individual notification rules
,
changing timeframe on shared dashboards
, and
copy tiles with variables between dashboards
.
Plugin updates brought new data streams, usability improvements, and stability enhancements across platforms like
Jira
,
Prometheus
,
Microsoft 365
,
Pingdom
and
Web API
.
