Small Changes That Make a Big Difference with December Updates in Zoho Analytics

December always feels like a time to pause and review progress. Teams take this opportunity to evaluate what has succeeded, identify areas for improvement, and streamline processes ahead of the new year. This month’s updates in Zoho Analytics embody that same proactive approach. The enhancements are purpose-driven, aimed at removing common obstacles, saving time, and enhancing trust in data-driven decisions as we move into the new year.

Explore the practical updates in Zoho Analytics and discover why they truly matter.

Auto Analysis Now Works Across Related Tables

The Auto Analysis feature has been updated in the latest version. It no longer looks at tables in isolation. If your data model uses related tables, like a star schema, Auto Analysis can now pull insights across those connections automatically.

This implies less manual setup in real situations. Teams can connect sales data to:

Regions
Products
Time periods

There’s no need to build reports from scratch. The dashboards clearly show how your business works, much more than just how your data is stored.

For teams still figuring out how to prepare raw data in Zoho Analytics, this update reduces the pressure to make everything perfect upfront. As long as relationships are set correctly, the system can do more of the heavy lifting.

Ask Zia Can Now Take Action Besides Answering

Asking questions is useful. Acting on answers is better. Ask Zia now helps with actions like exporting reports, sharing insights, and scheduling deliveries when using Zoho LLM. Earlier, many users had to switch tools after getting an insight. Now, that extra step is gone. If Zia highlights a trend worth sharing, you can send it out immediately.

GenAI Embeddings Without Extra Setup

GenAI skills are now embedded directly through Zoho LLM across the US, EU, and Indian data centers. Practically speaking, this removes the need to configure external AI credentials. This significantly benefits businesses as it removes governance and reduces the complexity of the setup. For teams, this implies faster access to insights without complex technical processes. As everything remains within the Zoho ecosystem, it’s a relief for IT as well as compliance teams.

PDF Exports are Cleaner and More Reliable

Dashboards are often reviewed offline, shared in meetings, or attached to emails. Until now, PDF exports sometimes lost visual consistency. That gap is now closed.

Images embedded inside widgets are included properly. Background opacity remains the same as the original dashboard. This generates PDFs that actually look like what you designed on screen.

New Integrations That Expand Reporting Scope

Zoho Analytics is now integrated with:

FreshBooks
Zoho Voice
Zoho Shifts

With new modules like Zone, Bin Locations, and Batch Bin Mapping, inventory reporting also gets a boost. These connectors make it easier to centralize operations, finance, and inventory data. Teams do not have to juggle multiple reports across tools.

Real-Time Data with Expanded Live Connect Support

Live Connect now supports Databricks and ClickHouse. This allows teams to analyze data directly at the source, without importing it.

For fast-moving businesses, this means fresher insights and fewer delays in syncing. Decisions can be based on what’s happening in real time.
