Creator Mode lets you embed the full Cube application into your product, so your users can build and modify their own dashboards without leaving your app. Instead of embedding a single dashboard or chat interface, you give users the complete Cube experience — creating and updating workbooks, publishing them as dashboards, and sharing them with their team.
Creator Mode is isolated on a per-tenant basis and supports additional layers such as groups inside tenants, so you can model your customers and their teams cleanly. It also supports customization at both the dashboard and application levels, so you can bring your own design system into Cube.
We're continuing to invest in Creator Mode and plan to add interactivity via events for building interactive experiences, as well as support for scheduled notifications.
The new filters are now available in the Google Sheets and Excel add-ons.
View descriptions are now surfaced in the Data Pane.
You can now drag and drop Workbooks and Dashboards into folders in the Workspace.
Anyone in your Slack workspace can now send a direct message to the Cube app and get AI-powered answers from the Analytics Chat agent — without leaving Slack. The agent responds in a Slack thread, and follow-up questions in the same thread keep the conversation contextual.
Cube matches Slack users by email address, so no additional account setup is required for your team.
To get started, a workspace admin connects Slack from Settings → Integrations → Slack and selects a deployment and agent to power responses. Learn more.
The filtering experience across Explore, Workbooks, and Dashboards has been updated. The point-and-click flow is faster in Explore and Workbooks, and you can now change filter operators in a single click.
Filters now support complex logical groups (OR and AND). You can create and edit these groups directly in the UI. All filters are rendered to Semantic SQL, so they work seamlessly with AI agents — both humans and agents see the same source of truth.
Dashboard filters have also been updated with the ability to change filter operators directly on Dashboards.
The documentation website has been updated with improved structure, search, readability, and mobile support. It also includes an AI-powered chat — ask the assistant your documentation questions directly from the docs.
With workbook versions, users can roll back changes to their workbooks and restore the state of the workbook as it was published at a given point. That is useful if you accidentally made changes to the published dashboard and you need to roll back to the published state.
With this feature, users can send multiple messages to chat that will be queued together and sent automatically, one after the other. Users can also remove them and edit the content while the message is in the queue. That helps to provide more context and more tasks to AI, and let it run faster for a longer period of time.
meta.ai_context field. Learn moreCalculated fields let you define query-level calculations — such as custom measures or dimensions — directly from the Explore and Workbook interfaces. Under the hood, they are compiled into Semantic SQL and executed on the backend, so they work seamlessly with the rest of your data model.
This release introduces common measure calculations (e.g., difference, percentage of total) and quick aggregates for dimensions. Filtered measures and additional calculation types are coming in future releases.
AI agents can create calculated fields as well, enabling end-to-end analytics workflows powered by natural language.
Data masking is now integrated with access policies and supports both static and dynamic masking. With data masking, you can return masked values for restricted members instead of denying access entirely. Users who don't have full access to a member will see a transformed value (e.g., ***, -1, NULL) rather than receiving an error.
To use data masking, define a mask parameter on dimensions or measures, and add member_masking to your access policy alongside member_level. Members in member_level get real values; members not in member_level but in member_masking get masked values; members in neither are denied.
Data masking is available in Cube Core starting from v1.6.23.
You can now attach images to your chats in data model, workbooks, dashboards, and analytics chat. Show the AI a chart and ask it to create a similar one, or share an ERD diagram and ask it to turn it into a Cube data model.
You can now save explorations and return to them later. Saved explorations appear in the Workspace alongside workbooks and dashboards, and can be organized into folders.
Saved explorations are integrated with the Google Sheets and Excel add-ons. Save an exploration in Cube and apply it directly from the add-on, or create one in the add-on and update it from your Workspace.
You can now send email or Slack notifications with a screenshot of a dashboard after each scheduled refresh. This is useful for distributing regular updates to stakeholders without requiring them to log in.
Notifications are configured as part of a scheduled refresh. When creating or editing a schedule, click Add notification to expand the notification configuration. Choose between email and Slack delivery channels, and attach a dashboard screenshot as PNG or PDF.
Email notifications are sent to selected workspace users with a link to the dashboard and the attached screenshot. Slack notifications post a message with the screenshot to a selected channel — just connect your Slack workspace via a one-time OAuth flow to get started.
Notifications are available on Premium and Enterprise plans.
Cube users can now generate a personal token to authenticate SQL API connections directly from external tools like BI dashboards, notebooks, and SQL clients. The token carries the user's identity, so all groups, user attributes, and data access policies are automatically applied to every query.
Navigate to Preferences → Personal Core Data API Token and click Generate Token.
A new Viewer role is now available for users who need quick access to data without the complexity of data exploration or workbook creation. Viewers can browse dashboards, use Analytics Chat, and query Cube semantic models from external tools like Tableau and Power BI.
This role is ideal for business stakeholders who want to consume analytics without managing data models or building reports.
The Viewer role is available on the Premium plan.
SCIM, or System for Cross-domain Identity Management, allows for the automation of user provisioning in your Cube account.
With SCIM enabled, user accounts can be automatically created, updated, and suspended based on your IDP settings—eliminating the need for manual account management in Cube.
Custom user attributes can be synced from your identity provider to Cube, allowing you to fully centralize your user management.
This integration helps ensure that your team's access stays in sync with your organization's directory.
