Updated June 4, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.
[Introduction]
We are enhancing Power BI reporting capabilities in Viva Insights by allowing administrators to enable additional attributes—including reserved attributes and organization-specific custom attributes—as report filters. This update enables organizations to derive deeper insights aligned to their business structure and needs.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 559995.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout will begin in late June 2026 (previously late May) and is expected to complete by early July 2026 (previously early June).
[How this affects your organization:]
Who is affected:
- Viva Insights Global administrators and Insights administrators
- Users with access to Viva Insights Power BI reports
- A Microsoft 365 Copilot (Premium) license is required to use this feature
What will happen:
- The configuration experience is available to admins by default in the Viva Insights web app.
- Admins can enable additional attributes as filters in Power BI reports via the Viva Insights web app.
Screenshot 1: Example of the Attribute filter settings page in Viva Insights where admins can enable filters for Power BI reports:
- Supported filters include reserved attributes (provided by Microsoft) and custom attributes configured by your organization.
- Once enabled:
- These filters become available to report viewers in Power BI
- Users can personalize reports based on business-specific dimensions
Screenshot 2: Example of Viva Insights reports displaying newly enabled filters available to users after admin configuration:
[What you can do to prepare:]
- No immediate action is required.
- Review your current Viva Insights attribute configuration.
- Identify which custom or reserved attributes would add value as report filters.
- Plan internal governance for filter usage.
- Communicate this capability to report users once enabled.
- Update internal documentation or reporting guidance.
Before rollout, we will update this post with new documentation.
[Compliance considerations:]
| Compliance area | Impact |
| Does the change alter how admins can monitor, report on, or demonstrate compliance activities? | Adds additional filtering capabilities in Power BI reports, enabling more granular reporting and analysis. |
| Does the change include an admin control and can it be controlled through Entra ID group membership? | Admins must enable additional attributes, indicating administrative control of the feature. |
