Re: Allow Brand Kit Font in App Studio
The documentation is very misleading. It makes it seem like this functionality is already in the product when using the brand kit. I hope they get to this enhancement. It's surprising that this isn't a higher priority.
Re: Drill in & interactive filtering at the same time?
I don't think this is currently possible. I was trying to think of an approach that would achieve a similar effect, and the closest I got was using a variable to switch how the pie chart is broken down. Instead of Active/Non-Active, I used this sales dataset with 3 product categories. When the variable is set to all, then the pie chart shows the three categories.
When one of the categories is selected, then it filters and shows the detailed products within that category and filters the other charts:
One advantage of this approach is that you can continue cross-filtering at the next level. So I could select Binders to continue filtering the other cards:
To achieve this, I created a Category_Variable and two BeastModes. The BeastMode to breakdown the pie:
And the BeastMode to filter:
I needed to add that Filter BeastMode to every card that I want to be effected.
Re: Fetch the latest month data for user selected date range
@GrantSmith is the king of this and has a great write-up I'll link to at bottom. His approach allows for a lot of flexibility in grain, etc, so might even be more complicated then what you need.
The way I would approach this is to calculated the MoM and YoY and YtD for every month in the dataset in the ETL itself. So each row would be something like:
- Month_Date
- Current Month Value
- Previous Month value
- Previous Year's Value for this month
- Year-to-Date Value
Then to surface the most recent month for a user's filter, you could sort-descending by month_date and limit the card to one row.
Re: Is there an outage?
For general questions about platform health,
is the quickest resource.
If there are no widespread outages reported there, and you are still facing unclear error messages or unexpected failures, then please record details about the actions taken that produced the errors and report that on a support ticket, along with clear screenshots of the error message itself.
Re: Is there an outage?
What type of errors? I'd recommend logging a ticket with support as that'd be the fastest way to get a resolution
Re: Line Chart. Can filter override the default date range set in Analyzer?
Your date range of "Last 12 Months" will always be the last 12 months based on today's date, so selecting past years won't work.
If you want users to always see 1 year of data, change "last 12 months" to "all time". Make your filter card single-select, and save a default filter on the App page for this year so it's always populated to start. One downside of that approach is if they have access to the controls, they could remove that filter and then see multiple years of data at a time.
Another approach is using a variable. You could create a variable for the Year and a beast mode to filter by that year. BM something like:
Case when Year_Variable = CONCAT(YEAR(Date_Column)) then 'Include' else 'Exclude' END
Filter the card for that beastmode to 'Include'.
Add a slicer to the App, and use the "set variable" action on the card to populate the variable with the years from your dataset.
Re: Visualization options to show Actual vs. Budget and Variance on the same chart?
I don't think there's any way of getting that exact graph using standard cards, but you could get similar analysis.
Assuming your data looks something like this:
I would say the closest thing to an "out-of-the-box" card for this use case would be the variance line chart:
With a little more work, you could get pretty close with a symbol+bar graph (2 symbols/sync lines)
Re: Card Limitations
Domo has clearly invested heavily in AI capabilities, which makes sense given the demand and excitement around AI-assisted analytics. As tools like Claude, Cursor, and other AI platforms become more powerful and accessible, users will increasingly discover what they can do outside of Domo. But I feel this AI / pro-code focus has come at the expense of improvements to basic core reporting features.
I'm not posting this in the Ideas Exchange because this feels less like a feature request and more like a baseline capability. It's the kind of functionality that reporting and presentation tools have supported for decades.
Re: Set different Workspace as default landing page for different users/user group.
This is not currently available. There have been some idea exchanges asking for this, so I would suggest you vote those up.
Re: Is the SQL Tile in Magic Broken?
Thanks for surfacing this. Are you all using window functions in your SQL tiles where you are seeing this issue? Also, can you message me the ticket numbers you filed? I'll ping my engineering squad on this.
