Latest improvements to Good Data

I am happy to announce the newest improvements to Good Data in the most recent release. Some of the changes are in direct response to your feedback, so we thank you and hope you continue to provide us with your thoughts. The newest release includes these new features:

Initial Project Templates
You can now start a project with US and New Zealand Census data and reports. This new feature allows you to start a project with public data already resident, and add your own data to the project. Compare your sales data against census information on region, income levels, demographics, etc. Let us know what you think, and what public data sets you would like to access in the future.

Attribute Mapping
This is a major improvement and allows you to create reports from multiple different data sets through a shared attribute, such as date. For example, you can start a project with the US Census data pre-loaded and upload your own data for rich reports combining information from both sources.

Homepage Pulse Improvements
The homepage Pulse has been modified and improved to make it easier and more visually appealing to see the activity in your projects. Items are now presented with descriptive icons indicating type of message, and multiple similar announcements are bundled together and can be collapsed or expanded as you wish.

UI Improvements when creating filters
Now when creating filters, the filter menu recognizes certain data types and automatically presents enhanced graphical options for selecting your criteria. For example, select states from a map rather than a list, or select date information from a calendar.

In addition, we've fixed several bugs and hope you'll agree that this our most feature-complete, bug-free release to date! We look forward to hearing your thoughts on this update!

As always, we'd love to hear from you about potential use cases. If you have a project in mind and would like some assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us and let us know.
