Bold BI 2022’s top features working for you

New data source connectors

Bold BI added a connection to give users a better experience in using our products. As a user, you can now create KPIs using data from multiple sources, including Decision Lens, Zuora, Avochato, Quickbase, Yelp, Xero WorkflowMax, Zoho Books, Alma, ClickHouse, and BoldDesk.

Publish data sources between tenants

Bold BI now allows you to publish data sources between multiple tenants. Previously, in order to add a data source, you’d need to publish a dashboard on the other tenant. However, with this update, you will be able to easily publish data sources on other tenants. This feature will assist users in avoiding repetitive work, such as creating the same data sources multiple times.

Webhook support

Bold BI allows you to create webhooks to deliver data alerts, and they can also be used for standard dashboard exporting. You can enable authentication and signing for your webhook and receive webhook content in JSON, XML, and X-Form Url-Encoded formats.

Support to configure security-related headers

1. Setting up CORS headers: Bold BI supports setting up CORS headers on the settings page. Now, users can configure and customize the CORS setting based on policy. With this update, they can easily handle security by allowing and restricting specific origins, methods, and headers.
2. Content security policy: Bold BI added support for configuring the content security policy. This safeguards content on your domain page.
3. X-Frame-Option: Bold BI supports configuring X-Frame-Options to avoid loading a BI site inside the frame.

Two-factor authentication

Now, Bold BI supports two-factor authentication for logging in. This adds an additional layer of security to your account. This feature provides enhanced security against unauthorized access to user accounts. Once enabled, this option will prompt you to enter a verification code generated by your smartphone for each login.

Data caching support

To retrieve results faster, Bold BI implemented data caching to keep dashboard data in temporary, low-maintenance storage. Check the blog “Data Cache in Bold BI—Tips to Load Your Dashboards Faster” to know more about configuration, examples, and FAQs.

Embed for external providers in iframe-based embedding

Embed a dashboard, dashboard designer, and data source designer for external providers in iframe-based embedding.
