Deprecation notices
In the Winter 2023 release, we added an asterisk (*) in the display name of certain Visier Benchmark metrics to indicate those metrics were marked for deprecation. As of the Fall 2023 release, those deprecated metrics are no longer visible. New Visier Benchmark metrics with parameterized percentile measures have replaced the deprecated metrics. Percentiles are useful for analyzing the distribution of a dataset and help demonstrate how your organization performs compared to the market at large. Use the metric picker to select the type of measure you want to view. The default is set to Average. Available percentile measures for Visier Benchmarks include:
- 10th Percentile
- 25th Percentile
- Median
- 75th Percentile
- 90th Percentile
Note: It’s necessary to take the following actions regarding your Visier Benchmark metrics: To view the new metrics, you may need to add them to your content packages. Any analyses that were created with the deprecated metrics will need to be updated to use the new Visier Benchmark metrics.
