Looker Studio
Feature
Report abuse
Looker Studio report viewers can now report abusive content. Content is automatically reviewed, and content that is reported as abusive is hidden or deleted.
Feature
Performance improvement for BigQuery data sources
Report viewers may notice improved performance when the report uses a BigQuery data source.
The BigQuery connector supports short query optimized mode. In this mode, when BigQuery determines that it can finish a query quickly, BigQuery prioritizes returning immediate results instead of creating a BigQuery job. Short query optimized mode may apply in the following situations:
- When the data source uses Viewer’s Credentials
- When the data source uses Owner’s Credentials but you are not the credential owner
There is no change in user experience or report behavior for data source credential owners.
