Code Integrations

We are excited to introduce a new feature that allows you to execute your own JavaScript code and retrieve data directly in your notebook. This feature gives you greater flexibility and more choices when it comes to building your model. Here's a simplified explanation of how it works:

  • Accessing the Code Editor:
    • To access the code editor, simply type "/Integrations" in your notebook.
    • Select the "Code" option from the menu that appears.
  • Writing Custom Code:
    • Once in the code editor, you can start writing your own JavaScript code to fetch the desired data.
    • Remember, you can use the "return" keyword to bring any result into your notebook.
  • Previewing and Adding the Result:
    • After writing your code, preview the result to ensure it meets your expectations.
    • Once satisfied, you can add the result to your notebook.
    • The result will be added as a block.
    • You can assign a name to the block for easy reference, like a normal Decipad variable.

Your feedback matters! If you have any questions or thoughts about this new feature or our roadmap, click the help button in your notebook. We can't wait to hear from you!

    • You can also use the provided field to enter a custom prompt for further assistance.

Give it a try and let us know your experience!

Fixes and Improvements

  • Improved Help Docs: Our Docs have been enhanced for better navigation. Now, there is a dedicated section for all Decipad functions and a special page with videos to explore. Additionally, all features have been divided into sections, making them easier to digest.
  • Enhanced Tables: This release brings new improvements to tables.
    • Improved Variable Representation: Any table or column variable is now represented in blue, making it easier to distinguish from the common formula variables, which continue to be represented in teal.
    • Compact Table Buttons: Table buttons for hiding formulas and rows are now represented by their respective icons, reducing the space they occupy on your notebook.
    • Improved Column Headers: The issue with column widths changing when defining a data type has been fixed.
  • Improved Formatting: Long number units are now properly formatted. For example, "$10 per month per dog" is now displayed correctly, instead of "$10 per month^-1 per dog^-1."
  • Bug Fixes and Stability Improvements:
    • Reduced Random Jumps: The number of random jumps when interacting with the notebook blocks has been significantly reduced.
    • Patched Workspace Navigation Error: An issue causing random momentary errors when navigating to the workspace has been resolved.
    • Fixed Random Number Catalog Flashes: The occurrence of random flashes in the Number Catalog has been resolved.
    • Patched Published Flow Bug: A bug that prevented users from publishing new updates in some instances has been fixed.

Fixes and Improvements

  • Enhanced tooltip for improved readability of calculation results.
  • Improved table layout to minimize abrupt changes during interactions.
  • Introducing a show/hide toggle button for calculations resulting in a table, enabling a more compact notebook.
  • Resolved a bug that allowed writing on the side of a table.
  • Fixed pagination for calculations resulting in a table.

Fixes and Improvements

  • Workspace Search: Use the search bar at the top of your workspace to easily find notebooks by name. You can also filter notebooks based on their visibility (published or unpublished) and status (draft, review, approval, done) to quickly locate the notebooks you need.
  • Sections to organize your notebooks: You now have section on your workspace sidebar to label your notebooks. Click on + New Section in the workspace sidebar to add a new section and drag and drop notebooks into sections to categorize them.
  • With this update we are introducing the first keyword for table formulas. It let's you add logic to your formulas by checking for the first row. For example, it allows you to showcase a different message on the first row: if first then "I am the first row" else "I am not the first row". Or compute income increases based on a set value from a slider: if first then IncomeSlider else previous(0) + 5%.
  • Enhanced flexibility in table formulas. Previously, you could only reference columns to the left of the current formula, but now you can reference any column in your table, providing more versatility when putting tables together.
  • New layout options with side-by-side paragraphs, callouts, quotes, and images. Simply drag these elements to the side and release when you see a vertical line to stack them together. These elements can be stacked with each other and widgets.
  • Improved styles for block multi-selection, now compatible with dark mode. You can select multiple blocks by clicking and dragging from the side of your notebook, making it easier to rearrange content.
  • Duplicating an archived notebook now moves it to your workspace instead of your archive.
  • Formulas no longer cause crashes when using negative currencies with parentheses.
  • Editing widget names no longer affects their height.
  • Table formulas are now non-editable for readers.
  • Table autocomplete was fixed to insert the correct columns.

Fixes and Improvements

  • With Decipad's new auto-detection feature, creating a new variable with the same name as an undefined variable in a broken calculation will automatically update the calculations. This streamlines the process of fixing broken calculations with undefined values.
  • The following improvements have been made to widgets:
    • Widgets now have a uniform size, allowing them to stack seamlessly.
    • Sliders now support units before each number. (For example, you can now type $100 instead of 100$ on sliders and nothing will break 🎉 )
  • To enhance navigation and data imports:
    • Navigation arrows have been added to long data views, facilitating scrolling through large datasets.
    • Loading animation has been added to provide visual feedback while the data loads during imports.
  • In addition, several issues have been addressed, including:
    • Fixing overlapping labels on charts as well as the option to create pie charts from tables.
    • Negative numbers not working properly on some type of calculations.

Improvements to Table & Column Names

We are working on making renaming tables and columns easier.

Important: these changes may result in select formulas breaking in older notebooks, especially if they contain a table that has the same name as one of its columns

Any notebooks impacted by this change can be fixed by renaming the original table or column and rewriting the impacted calculations.

For new notebooks, any changes made to table or column names will automatically update all calculations that use those names.

You can also each out to our team using the help button and we will walk you through it.

Fixes and Improvements

  • Improvements have been made to Charts:
    • You can now overlap two charts by selecting different columns to display using the two new value options in your setting menu.
    • Charts on mobile devices are now responsive.
  • Tables have also received some upgrades:
    • Long tables can now be imported with navigation pages, which take up less space in your notebook while still allowing you to explore all rows.
    • Table performance has been improved, enabling you to create larger tables while maintaining performance.
  • Drag and drop variable names to reuse them, eliminating the need to type them repeatedly in calculations or text.
  • Autocomplete link to docs has been fixed for Chrome.
