We’ve started 2026 with a strong set of updates to Zoho Analytics, focused on one goal: helping you get more value from your data with greater efficiency.
From building custom visualizations and taking instant action with drill actions, to optimizing performance with archive data and strengthening white-label security, Q1 2026 brought in a well-rounded set of enhancements designed to improve both flexibility and control across your analytics workflow.
New Business Applications
Zoho Analytics expands its data connectivity with the addition of 9 new connectors, making it easier to analyze data from a wider range of business applications.
These include Zoho ERP, PayPal, Zoho Spend, Odoo Online, Zoho FSM, Adobe Commerce, Tally Prime, Insightly, and Constant Contact, helping you unify your data and gain deeper insights across your business ecosystem.
Use Single Zoho Databridge Instance for Importing Data
Setting up multiple Databridge instances for every user to import data from the same source is no longer necessary. A single Zoho Databridge instance can now be shared across your organization and workspaces, securely enabling multiple users to import data from the same database server, without the need for additional installations.
Build Custom Visualizations
No more limitations on chart availability. You can now build charts tailored to your exact data and business needs using JavaScript libraries. Whether you’re creating advanced visualizations, integrating custom interactions, or matching specific design requirements, you have complete control over how your data is presented.
Act on Your Data with Drill Actions
Insights are only valuable when you act on them. With Drill Actions, you can go beyond analyzing data and take immediate action right from within your reports. Whether it’s updating records, triggering workflows, or navigating to external systems, Drill Actions let you interact with data at a granular level and respond instantly, without switching applications.
Geo Map Viz Enhancements
- Synchronized Map Zoom In Dashboards: With Map Zoom Sync, panning or zooming one map, automatically updates all maps on the dashboard. Stay focused on the same region across views, making comparisons faster and analysis more seamless.
- US Hex Bin Projection: Geo map visualizations now support US Hex Bin projection, offering a cleaner and more balanced way to represent state-level data. Each state is displayed as an equal-sized hexagon, making comparisons more consistent and easier to interpret. This helps you focus on the data itself, rather than the shape or size of the region, enabling clearer insights at a glance.
Dashboard Enhancements
- Drill-through is now supported for widgets. Previously limited to reports, it can now be configured directly from widgets to view related data and gain deeper insights with ease.
- Customize Zia Insights position to place insights exactly where they add the most value, whether alongside visualizations for quick context or in prominent sections to highlight important findings.
Manage Data Efficiently with Archive Data
As your data grows, so does the cost of querying it. Running reports on large volumes of historical data can slow down performance and impact overall efficiency, even when that data isn’t actively needed.
With Archive Data, you can keep your analytics environment lean and focused. Easily move older or less frequently used records out of active tables, while still retaining them securely for future reference. This ensures that your reports and dashboards operate only on relevant, high-value data.
Track GenAI Activity Logs
Keep tabs on how GenAI functionalities are used across your organization with dedicated logs that provide clear visibility and improved governance.
Secure Access with Code Studio Domain Allowlist
Ensure secure and controlled interactions from Code Studio by defining a list of trusted domains. Only the domains added to this allowlist will be permitted for API calls, preventing unauthorized external access.
Improved Access Control for White Label Portals
Enhance security for white label portals with stronger access control, enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for non-SSO users and define session policies like concurrent session limits, idle timeouts, and session validity to better manage user access.
API Enhancements
We’ve enhanced our APIs capabilities across data management and AutoML, making it easier to access metadata, build models, and manage deployments end to end.
That brings us to the end of our Q1 updates, focused on making your analytics faster, more actionable, and easier to scale. We’re excited to keep building on this momentum in the coming quarters.
