Not available to Embedded Partners

Improvements include:

Multi-Query Questions: Vee can answer multi-query questions that require answers spanning multiple visualizations.
Contextual Awareness: Vee now reads the entire analysis page. It uses all visible text and visuals on your screen as context to answer your questions.
AI Explanations & Follow-ups: Vee can provide AI explanations on analyses and visuals. Ask follow-up questions directly in the chat to dive deeper into your data.
Instructions and Role Personalization: Administrators can set instructions for Vee to define how Vee gathers data or how it styles responses. Through instructions, Vee’s responses can be personalized to different user groups.
Safeguards: Administrators can add safeguards to block content in Vee and prevent answers to specific types of questions or topics.
Citations: Responses now include citations that link directly to the underlying data.
Definitions: You can ask Vee to define specific metrics, dimensions, or organizational concepts.
Workforce Plans: Vee connects directly to your workforce plans, allowing you to ask questions about plan metrics and see how plan values compare to actuals to easily monitor progress against plans.

Dynamic Pivoting in Reports

You can now build pivot tables directly within the Report Editor. Easily cross-tabulate data by combining flat rows, expandable group-bys, and pivot columns to automatically calculate aggregations, like sums or averages.

Note: Available to Embedded Partners

Direct Span of Control Benchmarks

We’ve added the following Direct Span of Control trend benchmarks so you can see how different industries are trending upwards or downwards in their span of control over the quarters.

Direct Span of Control - Overall Visier Benchmark™ - Trend
Direct Span of Control - My Visier Benchmark™ - Trend

90 Day and 1 Year Resignation Rate of New Starts Benchmarks

We are replacing the existing New Hire 90 Day Resignation Rate and New Hire Resignation Rate benchmarks to better align with how you measure the success of your onboarding and talent acquisition strategies.

The following new benchmark metrics measure the percentage of starts that end in a resignation within a 90 day or 1 year time period. To measure this we track groups of new hires based on their start date to see how many stay with their organization for 90 days or 1 year.

90 Day Resignation Rate of New Starts - Overall Visier Benchmark™ - Trend
90 Day Resignation Rate of New Starts - My Visier Benchmark™ - Trend
1 Year Resignation Rate of New Starts - Overall Visier Benchmark™ - Trend
1 Year Resignation Rate of New Starts - My Visier Benchmark™ - Trend

We’ve also added the following new comparison metrics to allow you to compare your organization metric value against benchmarks.

90 Day Resignation Rate of New Starts
1 Year Resignation Rate of New Starts

We’ve deprecated the previous New Hire 90 Day Resignation Rate and New Hire Resignation Rate benchmarks. For a full list of deprecated objects, see Deprecation notice: Blueprint Design Objects. The asterisk (*) in the metric display name indicates that there is a newer version of this metric available. Please use the new version as this metric will be deprecated in the future.

Workforce Intelligence

Patch updates

August 13 - Data Query API dimensionDataMemberSelection Improvements

When querying parent-child dimensions, the dimensionDataMemberSelection field no longer returns data members for members that have no child members. Because this field already returns leaf members (don't have child members), it's unnecessary to also return data members for members with no children. This aligns with the visualization labels in Visier.

August 5 - Webhooks API General Availability

The Webhooks API is now generally available. Use webhooks to register your own HTTPS endpoints with Visier and listen for specific events. When these events occur, Visier sends an API request to your registered endpoint.

August 5 - Select All Analytic Tenants in Run Jobs

When running jobs for your analytic tenants, you can now select all tenants using the Select All Analytic Tenants toggle. Use the toggle if you have more than 1000 tenants. This kicks off a dispatching job to run one processing job per tenant.

July 29 - Databricks Data In Connector OAuth 2.0 Support

The data in connector for Databricks now supports OAuth 2.0 authorization.

July 22 - Security Access Explorer

Gain a clearer understanding of your security setup with new diagnostic tools that help administrators easily see who can access what, and why.

Object Access (Beta): Evaluate security configurations from an object-first perspective to trace user visibility and data exposure.

Users (Beta): Review a user’s security configuration, including data security, content packages, and capabilities, from a single consolidated view.

Note: Beta This feature is in beta. If you're interested, contact your Customer/Partner Success Manager.

July 22 - Synchronize Security Artifacts General Availability

Synchronizing security artifacts is now generally available. Synchronizing copies versioned permissions, data access sets, user groups, and user assignments to the non-versioned environment in Studio.

July 22 - Permissions API Fast Mode

We added a new header to the Permissions API POST and PUT endpoints to reduce latency when you don't need to perform dynamic permission checks, such as checking for the Super Admin permission assignment. The FastMode header tells the API call to skip loading the tenant's data environment.

July 22 - Content Packages API Endpoint Returns Artifact Definitions

When using APIs to retrieve the details of a content package, the response now returns the artifacts in the content package and their details.

July 22 - Return HTTP 409 Conflict for Users V3 API Requests

Previously, the Users V3 PUT request returned HTTP 400 Bad Request when concurrent requests tried to update the same user group with the header Prefer: nvLock=artifact. Now, the request returns HTTP 409 Conflict, which advises the user to resolve the conflict and try again.

July 8 - List Query API MemberId Deprecation

We are deprecating the memberId parameter for list query API calls. You can specify dimension members in the path parameter instead. The memberId parameter will be removed as of Spring 2027.

July 8 - More Support for Locking Non-Versioned User Groups

Locking user groups now supports user groups that select users with both manual assignment and member filters.

June 24 - Inherit Table Source Data by Tenant

Partners can now set the inheritance mode to table data filtered by tenant. If you store all tenant data in a single table source, this inheritance mode enforces a filter so that your analytic tenants can only see their own data in any SQL queries or data versions they process.

June 3 - Query MCP Server Profile Capability Deprecation

We are deprecating the Query MCP Server profile capability. We are replacing it with a new Query MCP Server permission capability. To migrate to the new capability, assign Query MCP Server to users through permissions instead of through profiles. The profile capability will be removed as of Spring 2027.

June 3 - Adjusted Limits to Retrieve Mask Fields in Tenants V2 API

When calling GET/v2/admin/tenants, the limit of analytic tenants to return is 1000 unless the following fields are included in the mask parameter:

homeAnalysisId
homeAnalysisByUserGroup
clickThroughLink
defaultCurrency

The limit is 400 if any of the above fields are included in the mask or if mask is not specified.

What's new

External Observability for Audit Events

As an alternative to Application Logs, use webhooks to ingest audit events in JSON format instead of XSLX files. This is a scalable method to observe information about your users and how they are using Visier.

Source Security Improvement

When setting a user’s access to sources, you can now enable full access to all sources. When enabled, the user can create, read, edit, and delete all sources.

Improved System Performance for Non-Versioned User Group Security Updates

Before, any non-versioned user group security updates caused Visier's system to refresh all users in your tenant. Now, the system only refreshes users in the changed non-versioned user group. This is only applicable to non-versioned user groups with manual user assignment. By only refreshing security for the specific users involved, Visier runs more efficiently.

Simplified Tenant Management UI

Administrating tenants can now set the NACE or NAICS industry code of their analytic tenants in Studio.

Visier MCP General Availability

We promoted the Visier MCP server to general availability. Use Visier MCP to connect MCP-compatible client applications (for example, Claude Desktop and Cursor) to Visier to retrieve data for use in external systems.

Visier MCP Improvements

We made the following enhancement to our MCP server:

Prompts are now available. Prompts are pre-built templates that guide the AI agent through structured analytic workflows and provide step-by-step instructions on how and which tools to use to complete a complicated task. We added prompts for employee analysis, candidate analysis, and requisition analysis.
You can now use Visier MCP with Copilot Studio, Claude Code CLI, and Amazon Quick.

Multi-Factor Authentication for Visier People

We are introducing multi-factor authentication (MFA) to provide an extra layer of security for organizations that do not have single sign-on (SSO) enabled. Users will be prompted to enter an authenticator code at every sign-in attempt to ensure accounts remain protected.

Note: This feature will be released in an upcoming patch and will replace the sign in verification code.

Power BI Connector

We’ve updated the connector to version 1.7.6 to fix an issue with SQL-like queries.

More Table Source Support

Note: Limited Availability This feature is in limited availability. If you're interested, contact your Customer/Partner Success Manager. Visier Case Managers can request access by submitting an Enable a Feature case.

We added the following table source features.

New connectors: Table sources are now available in the SAP SuccessFactors and Workday RaaS data in connectors.
Near real-time data: Partners can opt in to near real-time data freshness. If enabled, Visier monitors the source system to retrieve the latest changes instead of waiting for the next scheduled data load. Near real-time data is available with Visier’s Databricks and Snowflake data connectors and requires table sources.
Materialized views: We added materialized views, which allow combining data from multiple table sources into a single view that is created and maintained as a separate source, linked to the upstream sources.
Table Properties tab: Table sources now have a Table Properties tab where you can set key/value metadata for the table.
Static mapping lookups: Table sources now support lookup functions for static mappings.

Data Export Connectors

Super Admins can now create data export connectors, which push aggregated or detailed data exports directly from Visier to an external system. Data export connectors can push to Databricks and Snowflake.
