Here's everything new and improved in Golden Analytics this week.

Major Features

Golden Metrics — KPI Tracking

You can now define and track key performance indicators as named metrics. Each metric shows its current value, trend direction, a sparkline, and AI-generated insights — including anomaly detection, momentum analysis, and actionable recommendations. Dimension breakdowns and suggested follow-up questions help you explore what's driving changes in your numbers.

Scatter Plot Quadrant Mode

Scatter plots now support a quadrant overlay that divides your chart into four zones based on average, median, or a custom threshold. Each quadrant gets its own label and color, and data points are automatically colored by which quadrant they fall in. Toggle it on from the Format pane or via Command+K.

Scatter Plot Data Labels

You can now display data labels directly on scatter plot points, with smart positioning and collision detection to prevent overlap. A "Min/Max/Median" mode focuses labels on just your most significant data points — keeping the chart readable even with large datasets.

Dual-Axis Charts

Bar and line charts now fully support dual Y-axes, letting you plot measures with very different scales on the same chart. Each measure can independently render as a bar, line, or area — all configurable per-measure in the Format pane.

Snowflake: New Authentication Methods

Snowflake connections now support Programmatic Access Tokens (PAT) and Key Pair authentication. These are required following Snowflake's deprecation of single-factor password login in November 2025.

Improvements

• Undo/Redo for Chart Edits: Undo (Cmd+Z) and Redo (Cmd+Shift+Z) are now available as toolbar buttons and work correctly across chart edits, filter changes, and field placements — giving you a reliable way to step back through your work.
• Faster Large File Loading: Uploading large CSV files (hundreds of thousands of rows) is significantly faster. Files now parse natively in the background engine rather than in the browser, keeping the UI responsive while your data loads.
• Better Filter Behavior: When you add a dimension filter, all values are pre-selected by default — matching standard BI tool behavior so you don't have to manually select everything just to exclude a few items.
• Improved "Test Connection" for Databases: The Test Connection button now runs an actual query against your database and surfaces the real error message if something goes wrong, rather than showing a generic failure.
