Best practices for Amazon QuickSight SPICE and direct query mode

In QuickSight, data is queried from datasets when visuals load within analyses, dashboards, reports, exports, in responses to questions asked in natural language to Amazon Q, or when threshold alerts are being evaluated. Direct queries are sent to the underlying data source every time a request is made. Using SPICE, a refreshable snapshot of the data is cached in QuickSight, and all queries are fulfilled using the latest snapshot in SPICE, no longer connecting to the underlying data source. In this post, we will explore the benefits and factors to consider when using SPICE and direct query mode. Afterwards, we will also discuss when and how to use which query mode most efficiently in different scenarios.

Build pixel-perfect reports with ease using Amazon Q in QuickSight

QuickSight users can now use natural language generation to create pixel-perfect reports – a new capability in Amazon Q for QuickSight that simplifies the way users create and distribute visually-rich, highly-formatted reports to their stakeholders. Pixel-perfect reports are crucial because they ensure that every detail of the report, from layout to formatting, is meticulously controlled and aesthetically pleasing. This not only creates a professional data presentation, it also improves comprehension and decision-making among stakeholders.In this post, we cover how to use generative BI capabilities to accelerate pixel-perfect report designing using Amazon Q in the QuickSight console and deliver it to QuickSight users. Pixel-perfect reports can also be delivered to non-QuickSight users in Excel, CSV, or PDF format using Snapshot Export APIs.

Introducing repeating sections in Amazon QuickSight pixel-perfect reports

Pixel-perfect reports in Amazon QuickSight enable you to create and share highly formatted, personalized reports containing business-critical data to hundreds of thousands of end-users without infrastructure setup or maintenance, upfront licensing, or long-term commitments. To save time copying the same visual multiple times to filter for different values and generate an invoice for all your customers, you can use repeating sections in pixel-perfect reports. With repeating sections, authors can build visuals in a report one time but have the system repeat for as many values of a dimension exist. In this post, we demonstrate how to use this new feature.
