Hello hello friends of Holistics, how are you doing?
July is here, and with it, the sweltering heat and summer vibes. Can you believe weâre already halfway through the year? It feels like just yesterday we were making New Yearâs resolutions. Maybe time flies when youâre swamped with shipping out awesome features. 
That said, we didnât forget our New Yearâs resolution: To help everyone build dashboards that are fast, beautiful, and insightful. This monthâs update is us still keeping with our resolutions, check it out!
Pinning important dashboards to the homepage
Now you can pin important dashboards to everyoneâs homepage.
This is especially handy when your boss wants to rub it in everyoneâs face that revenue is tanking, and everyone all needs to work ridiculously harder. Just rename your Revenue dashboard to âThe Ship is Sinkingâ and pin it to the homepage for maximum impact!
Jokes aside, we just think life is easier when you donât have to plow through layers of menus or search endlessly to find the dashboards you need.
Faster initial dashboard view
TL;DR: Your dashboards open faster now.
Weâve made another round of improvements to how fast dashboards open in Holistics. Now, from the moment you click a link until all the widgets pop up (minus the actual data, of course), everything moves quickly.
If youâre into the nitty-gritty details of the optimizations weâve made, check out this community post.
Job performance analytics for Canvas Dashboard
With Canvas Dashboard, you can build the most visually stunning dashboard in the world, but no one will know if every dashboard visit is a game of âspin the loading wheelâ.
Dashboards should be both fast and beautiful, we get it, so weâve brought Job Monitoring and Job Performance Analytics to Canvas Dashboards.
Now you can spot the slowest reports in your workspace, see which Canvas dashboards are dragging their feet, check if your Holistics Job Workers are overwhelmed, and make necessary optimizations to ensure your dashboards are fast enough to actually be admired.

Moving calculations (coming soon)
In Holistics, common analytical functions (period over period, percent total, etc) are all 1-click operations, without the headache of a complex setup. Keeping with this tradition, weâre making Moving Calculations just as easy.
Soon, youâll be able to add a Moving Average trend line or calculate a cumulative Running Total in just a few clicks.

Re-ordering table columns using drag and drop (coming soon)
Soon youâll have the freedom to easily customize your table views with a simple drag and drop.
Want your columns in a different order, one that makes more sense to you? No problem! Just drag them around to your heartâs content.
July UX updates
Like always, we jazz things up with a bunch of new UX improvements to make your day-to-day work with Holistics even more delightful.
Here are some UX updates highlights:
In Date Filter, the preview wasnât displayed for default values. We fixed it!
Tired of scrolling to check if your filters are mapped to the right reportâs fields? Weâve got your back! Weâve added a nifty count indicator to show you at a glance how many reports are mapped.
