In this image, the table and pie charts both show sampled Google Analytics 
data (with orange indicator); the geo chart doesn't. 


Google Analytics often samples data to provide accurate reporting in a timely manner. Data Studio reports now includes a simple Google Analytics Sampling Indicator to show you any component that contains sampled Analytics data.

Field Reports Editing: Data Studio has recently added new functionality that makes it easier to create and edit the visualizations that you need, rather than going back and forth to the data source. You can use these new options to:
  • Rename fields
  • Change aggregation types, semantic types and date functions
  • Apply % of total, difference from total, or % difference from total to metrics from within the report.

Display Images in Tables: The new IMAGE function is a useful way to display images in tables -- for instance, adding YouTube video thumbnails or product images to your reports.


Data controls let each team select the accounts that are relevant to them. 

Data Control updates: Data Control lets every user bring their own data to existing Data Studio reports. This means every user can select from a list of their own accounts to populate the visualizations -- so there's no need to build new reports for every account and user. This makes it possible to scale report “templates” across a number of users with different access to accounts, an important use case for agencies or companies with subsidiaries. And now Data Control supports Attribution 360 (TV Attribution) and DFP (DoubleClick for Publishers) data sets.

We hope these new features will help you continue to make the most from Data Studio. Keep the data rolling!

Note: Though not an official G Suite service, Data Studio is currently available globally for free.

Email Log Search
This privilege grants a user access to Gmail’s Email Log Search feature, which makes it easy to track message delivery, view the impact of certain policies on email flow, and identify the IP addresses of connecting servers.

Access Admin Quarantine
G Suite admins can configure policies and settings to quarantine certain email messages, helping to prevent spam, minimize data loss, and protect confidential information. This privilege gives a user access to the Admin Quarantine, where they can allow or prohibit those messages from being delivered. Note that this privilege won’t allow a user to view or change any Admin Quarantine settings.

Access Restricted Quarantines
This privilege also gives a user access to the Admin Quarantine, but only to those quarantines for which they’re part of the quarantine reviewers group. Note that this privilege, like the one above, won’t allow a user to access any Admin Quarantine settings.

Super administrators can delegate these privileges to users by clicking CREATE A NEW ROLE in the Admin roles section of the Admin console and then selecting Services > Gmail and the specific privilege from the Privileges menu.
