Amazon Quicksight Release Notes

Amazon Quick Sight now supports font customization for data labels and axes

Authors can now customize fonts for data labels and axes in supported charts, in addition to the previously supported font customization for visual titles, subtitles, and legend, as well as tables and pivot tables headers.

Authors can set the font size (in pixels), font family, color, and styling options like bold, italics, and underline across analysis, including dashboards, reports and embedded scenarios. With this update, you can further align your dashboard's fonts with your organization's branding guidelines, creating a more cohesive and visually appealing experience. Additionally, the expanded font customization options help improve readability, especially when viewing visualizations on large screens.

This is now available in all supported Amazon Quick Suite regions.

Amazon Quick Sight, a capability of Amazon Quick Suite, now offers a visual data preparation experience that helps business users perform advanced data transformations without writing complex code. Users can now clean, transform, and combine data in multi-step workflows—appending tables, aggregating data, executing flexible joins, and other advanced operations that previously required custom programming or SQL commands.

Users can easily track data transformations step-by-step, enhancing traceability and shareability. With the ability to utilize datasets as a source expanded from 3 to 10 levels, teams can build reusable transformation logic that cascades across departments. For instance, centralized data analysts can now prepare foundational data sets that can then be further customized by regional business users, applying territory-specific calculations and business logic with simple clicks. The enhanced experience now also supports 20X larger cross-source joins, moving from a previous capacity of 1GB to 20GB today.

This feature is available to Quick Sight Author and Author Pro customers in the following regions: US East (N.Virginia and Ohio), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), South America (Sao Paulo), Europe (Frankfurt, Milan, Paris, Spain, Stockholm, Ireland, London, Zurich), Africa (Cape Town), Middle East (UAE), Israel (Tel Aviv), Asia Pacific (Jakarta, Mumbai, Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Sydney), AWS GovCloud (US-West, US- East) and to Quick Suite Enterprise subscribers in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and Europe (Ireland). For more details, read our documentation here.
