Questions and answers generated by Webex transcript and chat

Q: Previously the limit for creating sheets within analysis was 20 - Did that limit increase?
A: This is a limit increase of the number of visuals in a given sheet. Total sheets in analysis/dashboards are still 20.

Q: When Readers make changes to a dashboard through Dashboard Customization, will the underlying dataset get updated too?
A: No change to datasets – dashboard customization allows changes in tables and pivot tables only.

Q: Does the Dataset Q&A also replace or create similar functionality as Scenarios?
A: Dataset Q&A allows users to ask a question in plain natural language, and the system generates SQL, executes it against the full dataset, and returns an answer in seconds. Results are aggregated by design, and every query automatically respects the row-level security (RLS) and column-level security (CLS) you have already configured — no additional setup required. It also maintains all context in the conversation.

Q: Is the selection of multiple visuals specific to a layout only, like freeform?
A: Yes, that is correct — currently it is for freeform layout.

Q: Can the reader change the order of the fields as well?
A: Yes, they can change the order of fields.

Q: If the reader makes customizations, does it impact other users looking at the same dashboard, or only their view?
A: Only their view.

Q: The data in S3 — is it structured or unstructured? Or can both be used?
A: S3 tables are usually structured. That being said, you can have unstructured data in any column as long as it is in string format and within the column limits.

Q: Does the dataset enrichment replace some aspects of Topics?
A: Yes, Topics will eventually be repurposed.
