Was this helpful?

Patch 5.4.1 delivers a focused set of improvements aimed at making Tellius more intelligent, intuitive, and robust. With enhanced Kaiya experiences—including clarification prompts, more reliable insights, and better handling of ambiguous queries—this version strengthens conversational analytics while tightening chart accuracy, formatting, and filter behavior across Vizpads.

📈 Enhancements

Intent matters: Kaiya clarifies to deliver the right answers

Kaiya now intelligently prompts users with clarification questions when their initial query may be ambiguous—ensuring more accurate results. For example, if a user asks for “performance”, Kaiya may ask if they actually mean revenue, profit, or another metric. This interactive step refines the intent early on, reducing errors and aligning the output with user expectations. Once clarified, Kaiya proceeds with interpreting, selecting the right data fields, leading to more accurate charts and summaries.

Preamble-first answers: Reasoning before every Kaiya response

The Kaiya conversational interface now includes a preamble that transparently explains how user queries are interpreted. This section appears just before the final answer and outlines how key terms in the question were matched to dataset columns, clarifies any ambiguities (e.g., mapping “sales” to “revenue”), and identifies which fields were used as dimensions or measures. It also shows the dataset used, describes grouping logic, and validates that the selected fields align with the user’s intent. This helps users understand the reasoning behind the answer, promotes trust, and improves the explainability of AI-generated results.

Smarter conversations: Reset, Forget, or Ignore Context

In Kaiya, reset commands like Forget Context, Reset Context, and Ignore Context help manage how Kaiya interprets your queries. Use Forget/Reset to clear conversation history, and Ignore Context when you want Kaiya to treat your question independently of prior messages.

🛠️ Minor Fixes

  1. In Kaiya, added support for interpreting "last December" in time filters as December of the previous year.

  2. Fixed an issue where the “Detailed View” option was visible in Vizpad, Kaiya, and Search modules even when it was disabled in the configuration.

  3. In Kaiya, fixed an issue where "Year over Year" (YoY) queries were incorrectly treated as time filters, even when no explicit time column or filter was provided.

  4. Updated all in-product Help links to point to the new GitBook-based Help Center for improved documentation.

  5. In Vizpads, fixed an issue where follow-up questions did not work correctly when the Business View was automatically selected.

  6. In Vizpads, fixed an issue where charts appeared blank after applying a global filter in View mode and navigating between tabs, then switching to Edit mode.

  7. Removed GPT context text from the Kaiya side panel. All reasoning is now included as an expandable preamble before the answer, giving users additional context for deeper understanding.

  8. Kaiya now prompts users to accept updated Terms & Conditions before starting a conversation, with a direct link included. Acceptance is required to proceed, and future updates will remember user consent to streamline access.

  9. For Redshift Business Views, fixed an issue where deduplication failed when join columns were not included in the Business View.

  10. For marketshare related queries, fixed incorrect comparison filtering when more than one brand name is mentioned.

  11. In Vizpads, fixed an issue where applying Detailed View after drilling on a date column caused the chart to fail.

  12. Under Data → Connect, fixed an issue where clicking "Reauthorization Required" on expired Snowflake OAuth datasources did not respond as expected.

  13. In the Phrase Learnings of Kaiya, added support for marketshare as an aggregation type. Users can now save and reuse queries involving marketshare metrics.

  14. In Kaiya, fixed an issue where marketshare filters were not applied correctly after editing tokens via feedback.

  15. Under Data → Prepare → SQL, fixed an issue with the "Run Validation" button when a query failed, preventing users from retrying without reopening the SQL editor.

  16. In Kaiya, fixed an issue where feedback provided via suggestion words impacted the accuracy of follow-up responses. Kaiya now preserves conversation context even when suggestions are used, ensuring consistent results

  17. In Kaiya, resolved an issue where Drill, Keep, and Remove actions for charts were unresponsive.

  18. In Vizpads, fixed an issue where charts failed to render correctly when using multiple percentage change (absolute change, percentage change) metrics.

  19. In Kaiya, chart titles now automatically reflect key filters and query context for better clarity. This includes showing applied time filters (“December 2024”), filter values (“for California North”) etc.

  20. In Vizpads, improved formatting for Insight questions generated within a chart to ensure consistent spacing.

  21. Under Data → Business Views → Writeback, fixed an issue where a banner incorrectly displayed a "User does not have permission" message for failed API requests.

  22. When creating Insights, resolved the issue where column filtering stopped working after moving columns between Included Columns and Excluded Columns sections.

  23. In Vizpads, resolved an issue where cloned charts containing absolute change columns failed to render correctly when switched to percentage change.

  24. In Vizpads, fixed an issue where value suggestions were not fetched for high-cardinality columns (over 300 unique values) in the Absolute/Percentage Change aggregation window.

  25. In Redshift, resolved an issue where switching between validated datasources using the name dropdown caused fields to appear empty, even though the details were available.

  26. Resolved an issue where Kaiya was not triggering Insight generation for Insight-based questions.

  27. In Vizpads, fixed an issue where local filters couldn't be applied to charts if the same column was already used in a global filter.

  28. In Vizpads, resolved an issue where charts failed to load if a date filter added via the "Keep" option was converted to a global filter.

  29. Fixed an issue where editing the database in a Snowflake data source did not correctly refresh table and column values.

  30. In Vizpads, fixed an issue where filters applied in View mode (tab or global level) were unintentionally carried over to Edit mode.

  31. Implemented multiple design fixes (such as hover and shadow styles for chart menus, fixing active states on menu interactions) to improve the user experience for Tracked Metrics on the Home page.

  32. In Vizpads, resolved an issue where the “Force Trailing Zeros” option under Formatting → Number Formatting did not apply correctly to market share percentage and absolute change values in table charts.

  33. When you click on "Action required" of any datasource, fixed an issue where the hand cursor was not displayed while dragging columns between Dimensions and Measures sections.

  34. In Kaiya, fixed an issue where feedback given via the Like button did not retain the finalized query; it now correctly saves the exact interpreted query as a Query Learning after follow-ups or clarifications.

  35. In Vizpads, fixed the tooltip display when using column filters with the "IN" operator containing multiple values on table or detail views in View mode.

  36. When a user asks Kaiya for an Insight without enough details, Kaiya will now pause and ask a clear follow-up question to gather the missing information—rather than guessing or returning an incomplete result.

  37. Fixed visual flickering when hovering over selected filters in the "View All User Job Notifications" panel for superusers/admins.

  38. Kaiya now smartly handles straightforward time comparison queries (e.g., this quarter vs. last quarter, this year vs. last year) by directly returning results instead of prompting users to trigger Insights.

  39. Resolved an issue where Kaiya was not automatically selecting a relevant Business View for specific queries.

  40. Implemented a series of visual and interaction improvements (layout adjustments, spacing corrections, icon alignment) across the Kaiya conversational interface.

  41. Resolved multiple issues with slider filters in cloned Vizpad tabs, including:

  • Inability to set range values from the slider

  • Page going blank when applying range from the filter pill

  • Left/right slider handles not visible intermittently

  • Misaligned values on page refresh despite correct user selection

  1. Under Data → Business Views, resolved an issue where the rename column pop-up during Business View creation did not display the default column name from the dataset.

  2. Kaiya now avoids generating potentially incorrect summaries when a query is ambiguous or hard to interpret.

  3. In Search, enhanced error handling with clearer messages. The non-functional "Try Again" button has been removed, and a detailed error popup is now shown when users click on "Details" for better clarity.

  4. Deleting a refresh schedule of a dataset or Business View will now display a confirmation banner.

  5. Added support for dynamically joining calendar tables in Spark and ClickHouse, enabling flexible time-based filtering (like YTD, QTD, MTD) without requiring pre-joins in Business Views.
