New Features and Improvements

AtScale contains the following new features and improvements.

Note

C2026.8 is a short-term support (STS) release. For more information, refer to the AtScale Product Lifecycle Support Policy in the Help Center.

C2026.8.0​

Query-based dataset materialization​

Note

QDS materialization is a Public Preview feature.

You can now configure query-based datasets (QDSs) to be materialized as AtScale-managed tables. Opting to materialize QDSs can help reduce processing time and costs associated with building aggregates based on the QDSs and querying them from BI and AI tools.

To support this functionality, the Dataset properties panel contains a new Allow QDS Materialization checkbox. This checkbox appears when the dataset's Source Type is set to Query, and allows you to enable QDS materialization for it.

For more information, see Configuring QDS Materialization.

ATSCALE-45780

New sever-side DAX functions​

Note

Server-side DAX language support is a Public Preview feature.

AtScale now supports the following server-side DAX functions:

  • ENDOFQUARTER
  • ERROR
  • STARTOFYEAR
  • TOTALMTD
  • TOTALQTD
  • TOTALWTD
  • TOTALYTD

For more information, see Server-Side DAX Reference.

ATSCALE-43583

Bulk create secondary attributes​

You can now create multiple secondary attributes at the same time by clicking and dragging columns from the dimensional dataset to a level on the Model properties panel. This automatically creates a new secondary attribute for each selected column.

For more information on creating secondary attributes in bulk, see Add Secondary Dimensional Attributes.

ATSCALE-41361

Indicator for newly created dimensional attributes​

When you add hierarchies, levels, level aliases, or secondary attributes to a dimension, the new objects now display a new indicator next to their names. This helps you distinguish between the new objects and any that previously existed in the dimension, and serves as a reminder that the new objects still need to be saved.

ATSCALE-50063

New fields on the Connection Settings tab for deployed catalogs​

The Connection Settings tab for deployed catalogs contains two new fields:

  • Deployed from Branch displays the specific branch from which the catalog was most recently deployed.
  • Changes from displays whether the latest deployment is based on a specific committed change or local changes.

This information can help your organization trace exactly what code reached production.

ATSCALE-20143

Slowly changing dimension enhancement​

Note

Support for slowly changing dimensions is a Public Preview feature.

For slowly changing dimensions (SCDs) with natural key columns of type Date and DateTime, AtScale now automatically generates Date values for the as-of-date virtual attribute, for all dates between the SCD's earliest effective-start and latest effective-end dates. This change ensures that the as-of-date attribute works correctly in BI tools (including Microsoft Excel). For more information, see Working with Slowly Changing Dimensions.

ATSCALE-47374

AtScale Helm chart updates​

The AtScale Helm chart contains several new configuration options, as well as some deprecations and other changes. To learn more about these updates, refer to the Upgrade Requirements.
