Winter 2025 Release Notes

April 21 - IP Restrictions for API Access

You can now restrict API calls to a list of allowed subnet networks. For more information, see step 8 in Set Up Network Access or Network Subnets API.

April 16 - Embedded SDK Refresh Event

You can now add a refresh event to your embedded application. Refresh events refresh the embedded application without refreshing the entire browser page, such as to update the application with non-versioned security. For more information, see "Step Six: Set up event handling/listeners" in Embed the Full Visier Application.

April 9 - Direct Data Intake API Enhancements

• You can now retrieve a list of all open direct data intake transactions. Use the returned transaction IDs to commit, check the status, or roll back transactions. This endpoint doesn't return committed transactions or rolled back transactions. For more information, see Direct Data Intake API Code Samples.
• The API can now use implicit mappings for the data target. Implicit mappings map source columns to properties that have the same name (case insensitive) and automatically maps new source columns after Visier receives new source data. For more information, see Configure a mapping.

  Note: To enable this feature, contact Visier Technical Support.

April 9 - Use APIs to Revert an Analytic Object to Blueprint

You can now use Visier APIs to undo an analytic object’s tenant overrides and revert it to Blueprint. If you revert an object to Blueprint, it can once again inherit Blueprint changes, such as changing the analytic object’s View Details order. For more information, see "Update analytic objects" in API Reference and Data Model API Code Samples. For more information about Blueprint inheritance, see Blueprint Inheritance.

March 26 - Production Versions API General Availability

We promoted the Production Versions API to general availability. Use this API to promote projects from your development environment to the production environment. This is faster and more efficient than the export/import project workflow. For more information, see Production Versions API.

March 26 - Projects API General Availability

We promoted the Projects API to general availability. Use this API to create projects, make changes in a project, and publish projects to production. For more information, see Projects API.

Hide Analysis Card Information

As an author, you can now hide card information such as the title, context, and summary values to highlight key insights and help users interpret visuals more intuitively. For more information, see "Hide default card information" in Create an Analysis.

Movement Visuals Color

You can now change the color of visual items used in the Movement Breakdown and Movement Summary visuals. For more information, see Change Colors.

UI Updates

Visual enhancements to help users see and interpret key insights more effectively including:

• Bigger numbers
• Rounder corners
• Grey background in analyses
• Gradients on trendlines and sparklines for cards with small multiples
• Dynamic spacing for card headers
• Traffic lighting
• Table visual

Allow Email Schedules to Over 1000 Recipients General Availability

You can now send analysis emails to over 1000 recipients.

Email Push Time of Day Setting General Availability

When scheduling an analysis email, you can set the time when emails are processed for delivery. This helps schedulers align delivery times with data loads and regular business hours. For more information, see step 4 in Create an Email Push Schedule.

Data Flow Visualization Enhancements

• You can now focus on a specific property for a target, such as EmployeeID in the Employee subject. This shows the source columns, mapped properties, and rules that populate data for the property.
• You can now see static map lookup mappings as a new column between the source and the mapping.
• When focused on a mapping, we moved the mapped properties to display below the mapping. Previously, the mapped properties were below the event table.

For more information, see Data Flow Visualization.

Improved Overlay Loading and Debugging

Debugging overlays in Studio is now easier and more consistent with other design objects. You now have detailed access to the overlay key property to manage metrics, dimensions, concepts, and calculated properties. You can also preview overlay contents to verify data loading accuracy. For more information, see Overlay Security and Preview.

Salesforce and ServiceNow® Connectors General Availability

You can now use the connectors to bring your work data into Visier to drive insights into Sales and Support teams. For more information, see Salesforce and ServiceNow®.

Static Map Lookup Mapping

We improved the static map lookup mapping workflow to make it easier and faster for you to generate lookup mapping extraction rules for subject member ID properties. For more information, see "Connect subject member ID property to lookup" in Add a Mapping.

Visier Reporting

Introducing Visier Reporting, a reports tool that allows you to efficiently collect, organize, and present data in a clear, tabular format. The ability to generate customizable reports enhances collaboration and transparency across teams. Reports transform complex data into easy-to-understand visualizations that drive smarter business decisions and improve overall efficiency. Reports work with Visier's security model to ensure users only see data they are permitted to see. For more information, see Reports.

Non-Versioned Security

Non-versioned security eliminates the release of new production versions for security changes in your organization. If your organization frequently changes permissions or data access sets, non-versioned security is a good option to prevent hundreds or thousands of new production versions that overwhelm your tenant's version control. For more information, see “Non-versioned security” in Permissions API Overview.

Data Model API

You can now use the Data Model API to create properties, delete properties, and update properties. For more information, see “Data Model” in API Reference.

Reporting API

You can use this API to create, retrieve, delete, duplicate, and download reports. Creating a report using the API allows you to determine the structure such as a title and description. To edit other contents of the report, such as columns and group bys, navigate to the Reports room in Visier. For more information, see Reporting API.

Tenants API

You can now create a batch of analytic tenants in a single API call. For more information, see “Add analytic tenants” in API Reference.

Assign Data Access to Analytic Objects That Don't Exist Yet

Streamline your data security workflow by updating population and data access ahead of time through the Permissions API before Visier receives the data or before the objects exist in Visier. Previously, this process was only available for properties and dimensions. Now, you can also assign data access to analytic objects before they exist in Visier. For more information, see "Assign access for data columns that aren't in Visier yet" in Permissions API Overview.

Permissions API and Users V2 API General Availability

Announcing the general availability of the Permissions API and Users V2 API, which allow you to use Visier APIs to create or delete permissions and update existing permissions by changing the capabilities, content packages, and data security objects assigned to a permission, and create, update, and delete users in bulk. For more information, see Permissions API and Users API.

What's new

Filtering Target Data

We’ve made the following improvements so you will see more personalized data when you are comparing targets to actuals:

• Updated the formula of the My Reports selection concept with a new VFL function called dynamicUserOwnedOrgs. The updated formula will allow the filter to drill further into the organization hierarchy, and handle organizational changes over time more effectively. With this update, it will be easier to distribute personalized data to a broader management population.
• Shared the Supervisory Hierarchy with the Finance Budget Headcount and Finance Budget TCOW overlays.

Headcount Cost What-if Model

We've added a new What-if model called Headcount Cost. Use the Headcount Cost model to generate a forecast of direct compensation. This model uses budgeted compensation as an input, and incorporates historical actuals for assumptions around headcount and cost changes. It provides a simple and comprehensible way to generate approximate forecasts of future headcount costs.

You can access the Headcount Cost What-if model in Explore by selecting the Projected Headcount Cost projection metric.

Time in Role

We’ve added the following new objects so you can analyze the average amount of time, in months, that active employees have had their current job name:

• Time in Role metric and calculated property
• Time in Role Range dimension

Tenure Filtering Removed

We have turned off the filterable toggle for the Tenure calculated property by default. Instead, use the Tenure Range dimension as it has the capability to use as a filter or group-by, and additionally select certain defined range groups.

Bug fixes

129499 - Updated Recent Employee Metric Display Names

We've renamed the following metrics to clarify their calculations:

• Recent Employee Time Since Promotion renamed to Time Since Promotion Active in Period
• Recent Employee Predicted Risk of Resignation renamed to Predicted Risk of Resignation Active in Period
• Recent Employee Compa Ratio renamed to Compa Ratio Active in Period
