New visual type: Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assistant [Technical Preview]

The AI Assistant introduces a natural language interface for interacting with dashboards and datasets. The new visual type is available for SQLite and Solr data connections that contain vectorized column information that you would like to use for creating a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) chatbot. Data upload is now also available for Solr data connections, with support for vectorized fields in Solr 9.0+. For more information, see the AI Assistant documentation.

VIZ-838
A new system-level privilege option called Additional system privileges has been added. Granting this privilege to a role enables users to perform the following actions:
  • Set the homepage for all users
  • Clone, delete, or edit dashboards in another user’s private workspace
  • Perform administrative restart/stop work operations
  • Use Trusted Auth Get Ticket to request a ticket from the CDV Server.
For more information, see Additional system privileges in the system-level permissions documentation.

Administrators or users with Additional system privilege can now easily move dashboards and apps to any workspace, including private ones.
