January 2022 Summaries

The Hex Knowledge Library emphasizes the importance of making analytics work discoverable and understandable. However, data sharing can be challenging when using non-data-centric tools like Notion or custom intranets. Often, users resort to taking screenshots of charts, which become outdated and lose interactivity. To address this issue, Hex has introduced the ability to embed entire apps or individual cells from Hex projects into other platforms that support iframes, such as Salesforce, Confluence, or blogs. This feature aims to make data sharing more seamless and interactive while maintaining access permissions.

Hex, an AI tool designed to make data work impactful by enabling users to create stories from their analyses, has introduced the Knowledge Library feature. This new set of workflows empowers teams to create knowledge from their work by organizing projects with metadata and providing a Library View where users can search through published apps and filter by categories. The Library also helps manage the analytics lifecycle by allowing projects to move between different statuses, such as Draft, Approved, and Archived. This feature aims to improve discoverability of previous work and contribute to an organization's shared understanding.
