Symphony and Simba Intelligence
Bring your preferred AI model into Logi Symphony to power a conversational analytics experience. The platform automatically connects to your databases, queries across multiple data sources, and delivers answers to your data questions.
For more information, see the Simba Intelligence Product Overview.
Home Page Updates
Symphony has a new look and feel when you upgrade to v25.4. In addition to a new color scheme, we've streamlined and updated multiple areas and workflows to simplify how users and administrators access work in Symphony.
Select a home page to present to your users, allowing them to work directly with the content and data most relevant to their needs: Visual Data Discovery or Managed Dashboards & Reports.
Users can now switch more easily between Visual Data Discovery and Managed Dashboards and reports, and access other features easily from the refreshed main menu.
Tenant and user workflows have been updated to allow a smoother workflow when creating or updating tenants and users, including setting attributes and default home pages.
Group privileges are easier access in our redesigned work areas.
We have expanded SFTP set up and management options at the instance, tenant, and user level. Define attributes directly in Symphony, using user attributes or tenant attributes as needed, or simply for the entire instance depending on your organization's needs.
Customize your Symphony theme with our revised and expanded theme options.
Source Creation Redesign
This applies to: Visual Data Discovery
Source creation is now easier than ever with drag and drop source creation. When you create a new source, simply drag the entity or entities you want to use from the Connections tab or Files tab directly onto the Source Creation work area.
Create joins quickly and easily using the visual interface. Select an entity and view its properties in the Properties panel as needed.
The Cache and Global Settings tabs have moved to the top of the work area; select these tabs to define and update your fields and settings at any time. Define a Custom SQL type entity creation directly in the work area.
See Manage Visual Data Discovery Data Sources and Define a Visual Data Discovery Source.
Dynamic Columns and Export to PDF Improvements
This applies to: Managed Dashboards, Managed Reports
Set up dynamic columns in reports and scorecards that repeat your design horizontally for each data value.
After you add data to columns, you can enter a selection mode you can use to define what elements should repeat for each Column value in the group’s Data Analysis Panel.
These repeating elements are included both on screen and when exported in PDF format, with the data wrapped for readability.
Share Self Service Reports
This applies to: Visual Data Discovery
We have expanded sharing capability to self service reports. When you allow sharing of dashboards in your environment, your users can now easily share self service reports as well.
Users can share self service reports with other users and established groups in your instance, or within a tenant quickly and easily.
Tenant Management Updates
This applies to: Visual Data Discovery
The workflow for tenant creation and updates is now easier to manage and maintain. Create and update tenant information in one work area.
Set up the Reply-To Email and Sender Display Name in this expanded work area as a tenant attribute if needed for sharing dashboard reports and self service reports.
Additionally, you can return reserved tenant attributes using the new endpoint, api/account-attributes/reserved/. See API Updates.
OData Updates
This applies to: Visual Data Discovery
Call data using the OData API and return in column format when you use a custom query parameter that includes response_format=compact. See API Updates.
Dashboard and Source Tag Entities
This applies to: Visual Data Discovery
Use the dashboardTag and sourceTag entities to filter dashboard and source lists using the related API or in an embedded environment. You can filter using the operators IN, NOT, !=, <>, AND, and OR.
Use dashboardTag in conjunction with Dashboard Interactivity settings to serve and exclude appropriate dashboards to users based on your filter expressions.
Improved Join Operations
This applies to: Managed Dashboards, Managed Reports
You can now define a join operation when you add two structures to a data cube, join two data cubes together, or join a data cube to a structure. The new property Join Operation in the Relationship dialog reflects the type of join you define.
Expanded Aggregate Metric Function Support
This applies to: Visual Data Discovery
We have expanded aggregate metric function support for all connectors. Use the listagg function, for example, as Listagg(fieldname, 'delimiter') to concatenate the fields values, separated by the defined delimiter.
Pushdown is supported for multiple connectors:
BigQuery, Impala, MySQL, MemSQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Redshift, Snowflake, and SparkSQL.
Time Bar Settings
This applies to: Visual Data Discovery
You can now enable a time bar option in your environment that allows the time bar slider to snap to the closest interval of the defined granularity for a specific source. This is disabled by default: enable the new server-level variable, timebar-snap-to-interval to use in your environment.
Bridge Parameter Mapping Indicators
This applies to: Managed Dashboards, Managed Reports
It's now easier to see what data cube the parameters inside a data cube originated from, allowing you to more quickly select the appropriate parameters from appropriate sources.
Trino Connector
This applies to: Managed Dashboards, Managed Reports
In this release of Symphony, you can now connect your Managed Dashboards & Reports data to your Trino resources using the new data provider in data connectors.
Updated Encryption
This applies to: Managed Dashboards, Managed Reports
Updated encryption options are available when using Microsoft SQL Server for the application and warehouse databases.
Hierarchical Filter State Persistence
This applies to: Visual Data Discovery
Hierarchical filters now automatically save your filter configurations, preserving them across sessions.
Expanded or collapsed nodes are now saved and restored when you return to the dashboard.
Admins and dashboard owners can set permanent filter selections and expansion states as the default view for all users.
Your non-owner users can explore filters freely and use "Save As" to create their own dashboard copy with customized settings.
Data Preview and Export
This applies to: Managed Dashboards, Managed Reports
Export data you are previewing when you work in a data cube for further analysis or verification. With the Data Preview window open for a selected transform, select the Excel option from the Share button in the toolbar.
Allow Automatic Cube Joins
This applies to: Managed Dashboards, Managed Reports
Symphony now supports incremental data updates for your data warehouses. When enabled, each time the data cube builds its storage, only new data is downloaded and appended to the previously stored data.
Add incremental data update support by selecting Enable Incremental Warehouse Support from the Advanced section of your data connector panel.
This functionality is now supported by Elasticsearch and MongoDB using warehouse or in-memory storage.
