Release 7.1.2

Metric Insights 7.1.2 will release in the middle of September. Here's a preview of what's coming.

 

Major Enhancements in 7.1.2 include:

  • Automated user provisioning via SCIM: Keep access perfectly in sync with your identity provider (for example, Microsoft Entra). Create, update, and de-provision users automatically to reduce manual admin and audit risk. This change introduces SCIM-compatible APIs in Metric Insights, so that users can be managed from an external system like Entra.
     
  • Concierge Domains: Domains allow customization of Concierge for specific teams or use-cases, imagine domains for "finance" and "supply chain" each adapted to prompts that match their data, routing rules, and more.
     
  • Concierge Integrations: AnswerRocket and Snowflake Cortex are now supported via MCP (adding to WisdomAI, Waii, and Wren introduced previously in 7.1.1). In addition, Metric Insights itself can be exposed as an MCP Server to make its capabilities available to external agents.
     
  • A new Rich Text Editor: Fully replacing our legacy Rich Text Editing experience for objects like Announcements and in settings for Custom Access Denied messages (and a few other places), our new editor has a small footprint, is shown contextually, and is just as powerful as the old editor. This new implementation will give us the flexibility needed to add rich text to more fields in future releases.
     
  • Analytics Marketplace curation: New curated datasets and metadata make Marketplace browsing feel “pre-organized,” so business users land on the right asset faster.
     
  • Granular folder sharing via API: A new “share folder via API only” option lets you set Folders to only be visible in Custom Apps (Portal Pages)
     
  • App Builder - Alpha 2: Several new components have been introduced and bug fixes have been implemented. We are making steady progress towards a Beta that will be ready for UAT by customers.
     
  • Virtual Datasets: Power BI Semantic Models and Oracle database are available as live connections via the Power BI plugin and Oracle JDBC driver respectively. This is great for situations where a live connection to the source is preferred over moving data into Metric Insights' database.
     

Plugins

  • AWS S3 with IAM Roles & KMS encryption: Connect to S3 with new security features: short-lived role assumption (no long-lived keys) and native KMS support for encrypted buckets. Easier setup, stronger security posture.
     
  • Pyramid Analytics (new plugin): Bring Pyramid content into Metric Insights to centralize discovery alongside your other analytics tools.
