We've been busy! We've made some updates to the Forecast tool to make it easier for you to use.

First up, we've added the option to select Automatic for the date column so the Forecast tool will decide the best available option to use for your data. We've also added an Automatic option in the Advanced configuration section for the tool to decide the best available option for Trend type, Seasonal type and Seasonal periods.

Next, we've moved the Forecast gauge to the Tool section of the Row viewer and added in a chart preview! Giving you an easy way to preview your data.

Finally, we've added some warnings for you. These warnings let you know what the tool did with your data. We love making your life easy!

We've made enhancements to five of our tools with the add or replace column behavior. We've made the behavior more consistent and more user friendly! We've updated the following five tools:

In the Advanced section, there's options to either add one or more new columns or replace one or more selected columns.

For Text between, Select word, Text part, and the Extract tools, new columns are appended to your data set and will have the naming convention of (column)_extracted, such as Monthly Sales_extracted.

For the Formula tool, the columns append to your data set will have the column name set in each formula.

Formula and Text part tools are available in both the standard and big pipe. Text between, Select word, and Extract tools are only available in standard pipes.

Here we go again! We have added a new way to import your data, directly from the pipe. Simply either drag and drop your data on to the pipe, or use the prompt in the configuration panel.

As your data is loading, you'll see a progress indicator in the configuration panel to give you an update!

We're at it again! We're introducing a way to access blueprints quickly and easily! You can now view and add blueprints to your pipe, from the pipe. Simply use the button in the toolbar. The Solutions modal appears and you can see which blueprint solutions are available to you.
