In this short expert overview, Orla Cullen (Product Marketing Manager – Data & Analytics) walks through the biggest innovations in the quarterly release cycle, starting with new out-of-the-box visualizations.

• New Out-of-Box Visualizations: Use Gauge, Funnel, and Sankey charts, plus a new QuickBuilder, to create clearer KPI, pipeline, and financial flow analysis.
• New AI-Assisted Features: Generate concise AI prompt insights and use natural language to create story scripts without writing code manually.
