Platform
This section covers the changes to Visier's Real-Time People Data Platform.
What's new
Personalized Alerts
Use personalized alerts to define a metric threshold that, if exceeded, notifies you of the metric value. For example, if you want to be notified any time your Resignation Rate exceeds 5%, set up a personalized alert. For more information, see Personalized Alerts.
Traffic Lighting Color Palettes
Make insights really pop with customizable traffic lighting color palettes to highlight metric values that are neutral, bad, concerning, or good. Administrators can create custom color palettes in Studio to reflect the color meanings used within your organization. For more information, see in "Create a custom palette for traffic lighting" in Create a Custom Color Palette.
Traffic Lighting on Calculated Difference
You can now apply traffic lighting on the calculated difference, helping you compare values where here the context between two metric values matters more than a single absolute value. This option is available for comparison visuals that explicitly display a difference between two metrics, groups, scenarios, time periods or legend items. For more information, see "Add difference traffic lighting" in Add Traffic Lighting Rules.
Long Text Display
Efficiently load, share, and display text from employee surveys such as engagement, onboarding, or exits using the new Text visualization. By aligning survey scores, written feedback, and key events like resignations or pay changes, managers gain a more complete and unified view of the employee experience. Admins can configure required and optional filters to minimize the risk of identification and tailor filtering experiences by user group. For more information, see Text Visual and Create a Text Concept.
Google Calendar Connector
We’re excited to announce the general availability of the Google Calendar Connector.
Databricks Connector
Take advantage of our enhanced onboarding experience to quickly ingest your Databricks data—unlocking instant value with AI-assisted table mapping, notifications when new tables are detected, and seamless ongoing data synchronization.
Note: Limited Availability This feature is in limited availability. If you are interested, please contact your
Set Release Behavior of Multiple Data Categories
Data category management has been updated to allow distinct release behaviors for supplementary data categories. Supplementary categories now function like primary categories, resolving inconsistencies in how data versions were applied in the project lifecycle for different data category types. For more information, see "Set the release behavior of supplementary data categories" in Data Categories.
Source File Inheritance
Use source file inheritance to allow multiple analytic tenants to share data from a single source file in the administrative tenant. This eliminates the need to upload the same file to each analytic tenant, saving time and ensuring all tenants can efficiently access necessary source data. For more information, see Make Source File Data Inheritable by Analytic Tenants.
Export Localization Changes
You can now export only the new and updated content that's changed between two production versions for translation, making your localization workflow more efficient. For more information, see Translate Solution Content.
Studio Assistant
Get answers to general questions, best practices, and how-to information in Studio using the Studio Assistant. The Studio Assistant is available when working in a project and provides clear and actionable step-by-step guidance for your workflows. The Studio Assistant is equipped to provide immediate answers and insightful tips, providing the information you need precisely when you need it. For more information, see "Studio Assistant" in Studio Navigation.
Note: Limited Availability This feature is in limited availability. If you are interested, please contact your
User Group Visibility
Manage whether your users can see and select certain user groups. Some of your user groups might have specific purposes, such as only managing security. In this case, it doesn't make sense for your security user group to be available to select in features that don't relate to their work in Visier. In a project, you can modify a user group's visibility to be available in all features, hidden in all features, visible in Solution features only, or visible in Studio features only. For more information, see Set the User Group Visibility.
Reports Accessibility
We’ve added keyboard navigation, increased color contrast, and included more alternative text and accessible labels so that Reports is more compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA requirements.
White Labeling Reports
You can now customize the appearance of the Reports room to match your application's branding using Visier's SDK, creating a seamless user experience. For more information, see White Label Reports.
APIs
What's new
Session-Based Permissions API Header
Assign permissions to your users based on user sessions. Session-based permissions expire when the user session ends. For more information, see Permissions API Overview.
Vee
What's new
LLM-Generated Responses
Vee now has the optional ability to generate responses for your charts using its large language model (LLM) GPT 4.1. This approach eliminates common issues such as confusing explanations when there is missing data, misinterpreting questions, or displaying irrelevant information. By directly interpreting your chart data and questions, the LLM provides more accurate and context-aware explanations.
Note: Configuration is required for this feature.
Enhanced Clarification Support for Vee
In the event of an ambiguous question, or a question that can have multiple answers, Vee will now show all relevant alternatives in addition to the object selected. These alternatives can be viewed by hovering over the highlighted object. Users will be presented with a list of alternatives they can choose from if the correct object was not initially chosen. For more information, see Step 2 under "Ask Vee" in Get Started with Vee.
Category Customization for Vee Sample Questions
Administrators can now customize the categories assigned to Vee sample questions, including both name and icon. For more information, see "Customize categories" in Customize Vee Sample Questions.
