Reveal BI 1.7.4 Now Available Native Databricks Support, Enhanced UX, and Developer Control
We're excited to announce the release of Reveal BI v1.7.4, a substantial update that delivers smoother user experiences, powerful developer enhancements, and expanded data connectivity—including the highly anticipated support for Databricks as a new data source.
What’s New in RevealBI SDK 1.7.4?
- Native Databricks Integration: Reveal BI now supports Databricks as a first-class data source. Users can seamlessly connect to their Databricks environment and build real-time dashboards with just a few lines of code. From ingesting data to embedding live analytics directly into your apps, this feature brings Databricks and Reveal together for a more streamlined workflow (Reveal Help, Reveal Embedded Analytics).
- Improved Dashboard UX on Mobile: Table visualizations on mobile devices automatically wrap long text labels, ensuring cleaner layouts and improved readability on the go.
- Enhanced Date Filtering: DateTime filters now default to showing date-only views by default, making it easier for end-users to filter time-based data without extra formatting.
- SDK Enhancement – Controlled Dashboard Loading: The Web SDK’s loadDashboard method now lets developers load dashboards without auto-execution, enabling conditional rendering or custom initialization logic before execution kicks in.
- New Built-In Themes: Two new themes—‘fluent’ and ‘material’—have been added. These themes align with modern UI paradigms and help dashboards seamlessly integrate into various app designs.
- Field Editor Improvements & Beta Features API: The field editor UI has been refined with tabbed organization for options. Developers can also now toggle beta features programmatically via the new Beta Features API.
- Stability & Performance Fixes: This release includes numerous bug fixes and performance enhancements, ensuring a more stable and responsive experience across all platforms.
Why It Matters?
- Expand Data Connectivity: With Databricks support, teams leveraging large-scale Apache Spark analytics can now embed live data insights directly within their applications—bridging the gap between data engineering and product experience.
- Mobile-First Usability: Improved label wrapping and date filtering make dashboards more accessible and visually appealing on smaller screens.
- Developer Control: Configurable dashboard loading and the beta API unlock advanced use cases and experimentation workflows.
- Consistent Theming: New themes elevate your dashboard's look and feel, aligning with popular design frameworks like Fluent and Material Design.
