  • Added support for defining user permissions at the model level. The Connection access section of each connection’s Permissions tab is now Model access, where you can assign permissions for users and user groups to specific models.
  • Updated queries to retain their visualization configuration when added as AI sample queries. Previously, the configuration wasn’t added to the underlying sample_queries parameter, which resulted in needing to re-build visualizations when the sample query was used.
  • Added a hasDashboard property to responses from the document APIs. If true, the document has a workbook and a dashboard. If false, the document only has a workbook.
  • Added functionality to visualization legends for single measure charts that will scale the visualization to the selected metric upon clicking. Multiple metrics can be selected using cmd + click. Note: This doesn’t apply to multi-measure charts… yet!
  • Updated the query parameter in sample_queries to be optional. This can be used to seed prompts on the blank /chat screen without requiring the full query specification.
  • Added a new sets model parameter that allows you to define reusable lists of fields. These sets can be used in other parameters that accept fields, like drill_fields.

  • Added an API for retrieving schedule recipients and destination details. Try it out at GET /api/v1/schedules/:scheduleId/recipients.
  • Added support for Mustache references in the delivery subject and body for email and Slack deliveries. For example, {{currentYear}} will display the current year.
  • Added a model-level sample_queries parameter that allows you to define a list of sample queries that could be performed using the data in the model. This parameter is used to present example queries on the AI Assistant page and improve overall results.
  • Added an API for deleting a document draft. Deleting a draft from a branch is also supported. Give it a try at DELETE /api/v1/documents/:identifier/draft, providing a branchId with the branch’s UUID in the request body if the document is on a branch.
​
July 13, 2025
  • Added an API for creating document drafts. Creating a draft on a branch is supported. Give it a try at POST /api/v1/documents/:identifier/draft. To create a draft on a branch, include a branchId with the branch’s UUID in the request body.
  • Added color and size (radius) settings to the configuration option for point map visualizations. The Size setting controls the radius, or spread, of displayed data points. If using a heatmap, you can use the Color setting to create or select an existing continuous palette.
  • Added an API for transferring ownership of a schedule from one organization member to another.
  • Trellis charts - also known as small multiples - are now generally available! Give this new feature a try with the Small multiples section in a chart’s configuration.

Previously, a filter was required to determine the beginning and end bounds of a time range in order to fill missing dates. With this change, Omni will use the MIN and MAX values of the field in the query result set to determine the bounds for the fill. Check out the demo here.
  • Added the ability to independently define axes for small multiples / chart facets. Access this in the Small multiples section of a chart’s configuration by clicking the configuration icon in the top-right corner of the section. Then in the Charts section, use Independent scales setting. Check out the demo here.
  • Updated the dbt setup flow to no longer require configuring an environment before the repository is connected. Now, you’ll be directed to set up an environment after Omni successfully connects to the repository, making it easier to separately troubleshoot repository and environment issues. Check out the demo here.
  • Added a new owners parameter to topics, which accepts a list of email addresses indicating who the owners of a given topic are. This information can be used by the Omni AI to determine who is the best person to answer questions about a query or its results.
  • Adds a new ai_chat_topics parameter that defines a list of topics in the model to make accessible to the AI Assistant / embedded chat. Previously, a topic needed an ai_context parameter to be visible in the Assistant’s topic picker. The ai_context will now just be context. Check out the demo here.
  • Updated the document and folder permission APIs to accept the mini UUID of a user group instead of the full UUID. This resolves the mismatch between the User group APIs which returns mini IDs and the permission APIs that expected the full UUIDs.

  • Added new functionality to the dbt health check dialog that will automatically compile the dbt manifest when the integration’s settings are saved. This allows you to view the health check results from the run right away, making it easier to understand how the integration is set up and how to fix it. Additionally, the new dialog will notify you when a schema refresh is required to incorporate the results into Omni.
  • Fully released the new Expand table option for deliveries & alerts! Up to 1,000 rows in table visualizations will now be included when this option is checked.

  • Added a privateKey parameter for Snowflake connections to the Connection APIs. This allows you to provide Snowflake private keys for keypair auth using the API.
  • Added support for Entra (Active Directory) authentication to the MSSQL database connector.
  • Added support for expanding table tiles to show all rows (up to 1,000) in deliveries and downloads. Note that there are some limitations, which are necessary to create consistent layouts:
    • In paginated deliveries, filters and controls won’t be shown
    • Tile titles will be truncated
    • Font size overrides and text wrapping in cells will be disabled
    • If using PDF as the delivery/download format, single column will be unavailable
  • Updated the table migration tool (Model IDE > Model > Migrate tables) to now display views that have been modified in the extension model. For example, views that have been deleted or had their name changed.
  • Added a new Small multiples section to chart configuration, which allows you to create multiple charts from a single dataset in an Omni query. For example, you want to analyze total orders over time by order status and US state. Using small multiples, you can facet the data by status to create a mini chart for each status.
  • Updated Blobby to generate a query and then have the option to summarize that query.
  • Updated the full page AI chat (AI Assistant) feature to be enabled by default for new Omni organizations. This feature can be enabled or disabled using the Chat setting in Settings > AI.
  • Added an MCP Server to Omni’s AI tooling suite. This allows you bring Omni’s AI into tools like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VSCode and use natural language to create and run queries - just like you would inside the Omni app.
  • Added a new ignore_from_extended parameter to dimensions which enables fine-grained control over field omission in explicit extensions. When set, fields with ignored: true are hidden only during explicit extension, but still appear in combined mode (e.g., in YAML and git), helping prevent confusion from unexpected field disappearance.
  • Added a model-level ai_context parameter, which enables adding context for AI in model files. This can be useful for providing context to Blobby for topic selection and sharing context across topics.
​
June 15, 2025
  • Added a new Source model name setting to git settings which, if used, will specify the path to model files in the git repository. This can be used to assign a different name to a follower model when using follower mode.
  • Added support for specifying page sizes and orientation for PDF downloads and scheduled deliveries.
​
June 8, 2025
  • Added a new page at Settings > Billing that allows you to view past invoices for your Omni instance.
  • Added support for creating FIXED level of detail fields using the workbook UI.
  • Updated auto-fix suggestions in the modeling IDE to display in a tooltip that will display when hovering over an error.
  • Added an option to chart palette settings that allows you to hide palettes from palette selectors . Note: Hiding a palette only removes it as an option - it doesn’t disable its use. Charts where the palette is applied will continue to use it.
  • Updated several dbt-related fields in the UI to use default instead of target to align more closely with dbt’s terminology and reduce confusion.

  • Moved the settings for AI features from Settings > General > AI to Settings > AI and cleaned up some of the setting names to be a bit clearer.
  • Added new shortcut options that enable starting a workbook from a specific point, such as a topic, CSV, or SQL query. To access, click the New Analysis button and then right-click a model or hover over the hint icon in the dropdown menu.
  • Added a new model slot_reservation parameter that allows you to choose a BigQuery slot reservation to use for query runs. Applicable only to Google BigQuery connections.
  • Added pagination to the Administration > Users pages, making it easier to navigate long lists of users.
  • Updated how PNGs in email deliveries are sent. Now, PNG files that are larger than 2MB will automatically be sent as email attachments instead of inline images, to ensure that emails are delivered successfully.
​
May 25, 2025
  • Added support for editing topics directly in workbooks! In a draft, open a topic in the workbook and click Model > Edit topic. Note: Changes made to topics in this editor still have to be promoted from the workbook to be reflected in shared models.
  • Added functionality that automatically populates a field’s all_values parameter using a dbt test’s accepted_values.
  • Updated the location of the Aggregation options for fields when working in the Chart options sidepanel. Aggregations are now available as a shortcut on the dropdown menu for the field, instead of in Field > Aggregation after opening the field’s options menu.
  • Added a new Collapsible filters dashboard setting - in a draft dashboard: Edit > Dashboard settings - that controls the collapsing behavior of dashboard filters.
  • Updated the AWS Bedrock model used for query generation to Claude 4 Sonnet. Applicable only to US-based instances.

  • Added a subtotal table Markdown visualization to the Examples gallery.
  • Added a new case_insensitive parameter to the filtering parameters, which allows you to enable case insensitive matching in string filters.
  • Added support for connection role changes to the audit logs. Now, when a connection role changes for a user, user group, or the default role changes for a connection, the event will be logged in the audit logs.
  • Updated AI query generation to use AWS Bedrock. Refer to the updated documentation for more information.
  • Added information about how Omni generates table relationships when models are created to the Relationships reference.
  • Updated the SCIM setup guides to reflect that Omni organization admins must be created in the Omni UI - they can’t be provisioned using SCIM.
  • Added support for editing charts directly on dashboards! On a dashboard tile, click the ⠇(three dots), then Edit chart.
  • Added an inbound event, navigate, to embed. When sent from a parent frame to a child Omni iframe, the event triggers a redirect to the path specified in the event payload.

  • Added an API that supports programmatically adding recipients to an existing scheduled email task. The endpoint accepts a comma-separated list of membership IDs and adds those users as recipients to the scheduled task’s email destination.
  • Split the AI summary settings into two to allow for more granular control of AI summary features: Allow data summarization, which allows Blobby to summarize trends, and AI summary visualization, which enables the AI summary visualization type.
  • Added support for editing query views in the UI.
  • Added support for filtering to calculated fields.
  • Updated the AWS PrivateLink guide to clarify the types of VPCs Omni supports: only normal endpoints, not Redshift-managed.
  • Added an API for listing database connections.
  • Cleaned up the sidebar in the docs to focus more on “jobs to be done” and less on product features. This change also removes some old categories and consolidates a few others.
  • Moved the API docs into a top-level section of the docs, now accessible in the top navigation as API.
  • Renamed the Jobs page to Running queries to make it clearer what the page contains.
  • Updated the code for some Markdown examples to correctly render when exported to PDF or PNG.

  • Data inputs now available! - The wait is over! You can now upload CSV and XLSX files or manually enter data into Omni to create source tables. This highly requested feature makes it easier than ever to bring external data into your analyses - database optional. Once created, data input tables tables can be queried and modeled just like any other table in your database. Check out the docs to learn more.
  • New workbook starter now in beta - As part of our mission to eliminate analysis paralysis, we’re developing a new query tab experience that makes it easier to get started with your data. Now, when you create a new workbook or query tab, you can browse database views and topics, write a SQL query, or add a data input table.
  • dbt tooling enhancements - The new dbt environment health dialog, accessible by clicking Health in the footer of the IDE, can help you monitor issues in your dbt environment. Additionally, you can now bring your dbt metadata in Omni up to date with just a few clicks. In the dbt IDE, navigate to Model > Sync dbt metadata and Omni will kick off a metadata sync.
  • Promote color modeling from the workbook - Color modeling is now complete for both dimensions and measures! In the Color options for charts, you can set colors for multiple measures, including those that already have a color defined in the model. Once set, you can then promote the colors to the workbook model, which will apply the colors across the entire workbook.
  • Connect to StarRocks - If you’re using StarRocks, you can now connect it to Omni! Check out the StarRocks setup guide for more information.
  • M2M authentication for Databricks - We’ve added another authentication option, machine-to-machine (M2M), to the Databricks integration. You also have the option to use a personal access token (PAT). Refer to the Databricks setup guide for more information.
  • Dashboard control enhancements - We added a new control type, Field picker, that allows you to select one or more fields to include in the control. Additionally, dashboard controls are now accessible in text tiles using Mustache syntax. Check out the docs for more info and examples.
  • All the APIs! - We’ve expanded our library of APIs over the last few weeks with a bunch of new endpoints:
  • Lots of documentation updates!:
  • Honorable mentions:
