Vizpad
Vizpad Settings
Location: Settings → Modules → Vizpad → Vizpad Settings
Vizpad Settings controls how Vizpads load, render, and behave for everyone in the workspace. Most of these settings trade performance against convenience, so the right values depend on your data volume and how heavily your users build.
Several numeric fields show a Note beneath them stating the accepted range. Values outside that range are auto-adjusted rather than rejected.
Loading and performance
Vizpad Batch Count — The number of widgets loaded in a single batch when opening a Vizpad. Higher values load more at once but can increase the initial load time. Allowed range: 4–8.
Maximum Tabs — The maximum number of tabs that can be created in a Vizpad.
Maximum charts per tab — The maximum number of chart-type visualizations allowed per tab. KPI, text, image, and similar widget types do not count toward this limit, so a tab can hold more widgets than this number suggests. Range: 25–50.
Vizpad Sync Timeout — The maximum wait time in seconds before Tellius switches to an asynchronous response. When a Vizpad takes longer than this to respond synchronously, the request continues in the background rather than holding the connection open.
Enable Bulk Filter Config Apply — Lets users add or remove several filters and columns in the Configuration pane at once, then use Apply or Cancel to save or discard all of them together. Without this, the chart updates after every individual edit. Turn it on when users work with large or live datasets, where updating after each change is slow.
Display "Apply" and "Undo" buttons when applying filters in a Vizpad — Adds Apply and Undo buttons under Apply filters, letting users select several filter values before committing them. Like the setting above, this avoids re-querying after every selection, which matters on large or live datasets.
Use compact chart scaling — When on, charts use a tighter layout so more of each visualization fits inside its widget. Turn it off for standard chart padding and sizing.
Disable Virtualization — When on, all charts load immediately instead of using viewport-based lazy loading. Lazy loading normally renders only what's on screen and loads the rest as the user scrolls. Disabling it can improve compatibility but may reduce scroll performance on large Vizpads. Leave it off unless you're troubleshooting a rendering problem.
Display Settings
Enable "chart summary and tab summary" options in vizpad — Shows the summary settings and the Add tab summary option on Vizpads, letting users add written summaries to charts and tabs. Turning it off removes both options.
Numeric, Text, and Date — Set the default column alignment for each data type in table visualizations. Each offers Left Aligned, Center Aligned, or Right Aligned.
The conventional choices are right-aligned numbers, so digits line up by place value and are easy to compare down a column, and left-aligned text and dates, so they read naturally. The QA2 defaults are Numeric right, Text center, Date left.
TQL Job
Enable Queueing — When on, TQL jobs are queued to prevent system overload. When off, every request is processed instantly, which can clog the service under load.
Turning this on reveals four fields. Turning it off hides them again.
Global Quota — The maximum number of TQL jobs that can run concurrently across all users.
User Quota — The maximum number of TQL jobs that can run concurrently per user. This prevents any one user from consuming all available slots.
Queue Quota — The maximum number of queued, pending TQL jobs allowed per user. Once a user hits this limit, their new submissions are blocked until a queued job starts or is cancelled.
Queue Timeout (seconds) — The maximum time a request can wait in the queue before being cancelled. The user is notified when load is high.
Read the four together: Global Quota is the system-wide ceiling on running jobs, User Quota stops one person monopolizing it, Queue Quota caps how much any one person can stack up waiting, and Queue Timeout stops requests waiting indefinitely.
Vizpad Excel Export
Sets the maximum limits for each Excel export. These limits apply globally across all Vizpad exports, and data beyond each limit is truncated rather than causing the export to fail.
Maximum sheets in a workbook — Range 1–50.
Maximum records per sheet — Range 1–1,000,000.
Maximum columns per sheet — Range 1–16,384.
The upper bounds on records and columns match Excel's own hard limits, so raising them beyond these values isn't possible. Because excess data is silently truncated, set these deliberately — a user exporting a large Vizpad may not realize rows were dropped.
Saving
Click Save to apply your changes, or Cancel to discard them.
Export & Scheduling
Location: Settings → Modules → Vizpad → Export & Scheduling
Configures an automatic backup schedule for Vizpad data. Once set, Tellius runs backups on the interval you define without anyone having to trigger them.
Backup Start Date — The date the schedule begins. Click the field to open a date picker.
Backup Start Time — The time of day the first backup runs. Click the field to open a time picker.
Backup Frequency — How many units pass between backups. Range 1–999.
Frequency Unit — The unit that number counts in. Seven options: Minute, Hour, Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year.
Frequency and unit combine, so a frequency of 2 with a unit of Week means a backup every two weeks. Both fields are needed for a valid schedule — a frequency with no unit selected doesn't define an interval.
Backups produced by this schedule are browsed and retrieved on the Backup & Restore page.
Saving
Click Save to apply the schedule, or Cancel to discard your changes.
Vizpad Configuration
Location: Settings → Modules → Vizpad → Vizpad Configuration
Tellius has two Vizpad editors: Classic, the original, and Modern, the redesigned version. This page controls which one users get and whether they can switch between them.
Open in Modern — Opens Vizpads in the Modern editor.
{% hint style="warning" %} A Vizpad saved in Modern will not render the same way in Classic. If you need to keep a Classic version intact, clone the Vizpad and make your changes in the clone. {% endhint %}
This is the setting to understand before rolling Modern out. The incompatibility runs one way — saving in Modern changes how the Vizpad behaves if anyone later opens it in Classic. On a workspace with established Vizpads, that's a migration decision rather than a display preference.
Modern Vizpad Download — Enables the Modern download experience when exporting Vizpads.
Show Open in Classic / Open in Modern button — When on, users can switch between the Classic and Modern editors from the header. When off, the version switch button is hidden and users only see Modern.
Off is the default for new customers, since they have no Classic Vizpads to preserve. Turn it on for existing customers who need access to Classic during migration, then turn it off once migration is finished.
Saving
Click Save to apply your changes, or Cancel to discard them. The page subtitle notes that saving applies runtime changes.
Backup & Restore
Location: Settings → Modules → Vizpad → Backup & Restore
Browse the backup runs produced by the schedule set on the Export & Scheduling page. Backups are organized into folders by timestamp, and opening a folder shows its ZIP files on the next step.
Backup period
Filter the list by start and end date. Two fields, From and to, each with a date picker.
The page states three things about how this filter works:
Only the dates are used. Time of day is ignored.
Each day is your local calendar day. The app converts these to UTC bounds before sending them to the server, so you don't need to adjust for timezone yourself.
Pagination applies within the filtered result set, not across all backups.
Backup folders
Lists the backup folders that fall within the selected period. Click a folder to open it and see its ZIP files.
When no backups exist in the chosen range, the area reads: No backup folders in this period. Try widening the date range. If you expected backups and see this message, check the schedule on Export & Scheduling before widening the range — an unconfigured schedule produces no backups at all.
