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.

Vee Boards

AI-augmented analyses that helps C-suite leaders address their most pressing people challenges. Based on deep analysis of CHRO, CFO, and CEO challenges, Visier experts designed Vee Boards to address areas like Talent Density, People Costs, and Manager Bench Strength. Powered by Vee, Visier's generative AI assistant, you can generate AI explanations that summarize key insights from your data. Check them out in the Executive Dashboards Guidebook. For more information, see Vee Boards.

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.

Visier Extensions

If you want to extend your analytic content with business data but don't know where to start, get started with Visier Extensions for Salesforce and ServiceNow^®. Visier Extensions are prebuilt extensions to your existing analytic content with core objects that are aligned to a specific source system. You can use them as a basis to extend your Visier solution. These prebuilt extensions take the guesswork out of object creation, give you an idea of how to build within Visier, and allow you to quickly start loading data. For more information, see Visier Extensions.

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.

Data Version Snapshots General Availability

Announcing the general availability of data version snapshots, which allow you to preserve data versions and review them at any time in the future to see the original data that may have been distributed to wider audiences, such as executives, auditors, and public reporting. For more information, see Data Version Snapshots.

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®. Try it out with Visier Extensions. For more information, see Visier Extensions.

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.

Turn Off Skills Enrichment

Visier skills can now be excluded from the Standardized Occupations data enrichment. This permits organizations to use their own skills data while still benefiting from Visier’s job standardization enrichment. For more information, see "Turn on a standardization" in Data Enrichments.

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 Visier 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.

Visier People

This section covers the changes to the content of the Visier People solution.

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
