System worksheets and views

Learn about the system worksheets and views that ThoughtSpot provides.

Note: Starting in December 2021, ThoughtSpot rebranded pinboards as Liveboards. For backward compatibility, we currently support internal processes and external methods that use the older naming convention.

Most of the monitoring information in ThoughtSpot’s system Liveboards comes from system worksheets and views that administrators can view, but not modify. The underlying tables are protected system tables that you cannot access directly. However, administrators can create new, custom monitoring reports from the worksheets and views.
