Product Updates: Dashboards

Matt Robinson
co-founder & CEO

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Dashboards in Spreadshee​​t​​​​.​com.

We also rolled out ability to create a new workbook from publicly shared Views, improved the speed of bulk OpenAI formula requests, and enabled Zoom level in publicly shared and embedded workbooks.

Let’s take a look.

Dashboards

Now with Dashboards you can quickly build and share an overview of projects and initiatives with data from any number of workbooks and views.

Like Workbooks and Reports, Dashboards are a new document type that can be created in any workspace and folder from the + New dialog:

Copy View capability in publicly shared Views

Following the release of public View sharing and embedding, we’ve added the ability to allow users to Copy View. This creates a new workbook from the shared view, with only the data present in that view.

This ability is enabled by default in shared Views and can be disabled in the public View sharing and embedding dialog.

Faster OPENAI_COMPLETE function calls

For those using our OpenAI integration function, OPENAI_COMPLETE, now the performance of updating column formulas and when dragging down to autofill is up to 10x faster.

Zoom now works in publicly shared workbooks

Now when a workbook or template is shared publicly or embedded, Zoom level is enabled.
