New in Steep: New edit mode, permissions
Early last month marked the public release of Steep. Thanks to everyone who signed up and got started so far. Please keep the feedback coming! We have not been idle in the meanwhile and there is a a whole bunch of news to share - so let's get right to it.
Private teams and metrics
Data can be sensitive, even within your organization. We have made it super easy to create private teams and set permissions for metrics. Any team can now be set to private with just a toggle in the team settings. You can then turn any metric private and select which teams should have access to it.
New ways to define metrics
This month, we have completely redesigned the way you define metrics on desktop. You will now get a live preview of your visualization as you set it up, making it even easier to set up and test your metrics. In addition to the new layout and preview, we are also adding a number of improvements to the setup process.
Better filters and slices
Filters and slices now support multiple filter rules and more conditionals. In addition to equal to and not equal to, you can now chose less than, greater than, in or not in. This makes creating complex filters a breeze.
Query preview
In addition to previewing your graph, you can now see what the generated SQL queries will look like. This lets power users peek under the hood or trouble shoot. You can even copy the generated SQL query to run it in your own console.
Metric Description
Sharing metrics with a wider audience will sometimes require some context. You can now add a description to go with your metric to make it easy for anyone in your organisation to understand what they are looking at.
A better login experience
Login using Microsoft accounts
In addition to Google and Apple, we now support Microsoft accounts. Sign up or login to Steep using any type of Microsoft account - including corporate Active Directory accounts.
Use browser to log in
Our iOS app now uses your browser to log in. This enables you to use any currently logged in account to make the process smoother.
Stay logged in longer
We have optimized the way the app handles login sessions. You will now stay logged in to Steep until you manually sign out.
Copy data
Continue to analyze and work with your data in another tool or spreadsheet. You can now copy the table data and paste into any tool that supports it. Wide or tall. Excel or Google Sheets.
What's next?
- We are working on more ways to visualize your data. Giving you better insights for a wider variety of scenarios.
- Advanced metrics definitions with joins and custom queries will let you add any kind of metric to Steep.
- Steep is gaining even better multiplayer support with cool new features to engage your whole team.
