Hello everyone!

I’m sure they will keep you on your (mistle)toes all December 
Introducing: Custom Filled Map
Now you can generate a beautiful custom filled map by uploading your own GeoJSON file to Holistics. To learn how to create a Custom Map, visit our guide here.

Revamped Heatmap (Beta)
We have changed our default color scale system from Jet to Viridis, added more customization options, and change our background map display. You can try this beta heatmap out by generating a Point Map first, then toggle Heatmap on.
Note: We will introduce more changes to this beta in the upcoming weeks
Improved Search Experience
Have you ever been buried by too many items and couldn’t find your target report?
Good news! Our Search Box has been further improved, which will instantly show the matching results. You can not only view your recent searches but also narrow down the result list by filtering by object types.
Business Calculation
Business Calculation helps Explorers create custom dimensions or measures quickly without touching the underlying data models logic.
You can imagine it’s like calculating 2 or multiple fields in an Excel Sheet. Its formula can be easily adjusted right in the Dataset Exploration View.
For more information, please refer to our doc about Business Calculation
