January brought DAX query subscriptions by email, report categories in applications and a custom message shown while the capacity is being turned on. The Administration Portal also got a new layout, and the audit screens started showing the total number of items found.

New features
- Report categories in applications: in the Reports tab of an application (Power BI › Applications), you can classify each report into a category, such as Finance, Sales or Operations. In the Reports Portal, the application's reports are grouped by category, and each group can be collapsed or expanded by clicking its title. This makes it easier to find what you are looking for in applications with many reports.
Improvements
- Department filter in usage metrics: the Audits › Usage Metrics audit now has a department filter, so you can analyze report access for a specific area of the company. See the documentation

New features
- DAX query subscription: you can now send the result of a DAX query by email, without relying on external tools such as Power Automate. In the subscription, you enter the query, the sending period, the recurrence, a text for the email body and the recipients. It is a simple way to deliver summarized numbers to people who do not need to open the whole report.
- API key per company: you can now generate a custom API access token for a company registered in the portal. This way, each company can have its own key for integrations. See the documentation

New features
- Custom message when turning on the capacity: when editing a capacity (Power BI › Capacities › Actions › Edit), the new customization tab lets you write the text users see while the capacity is being turned on on demand. This message used to be fixed; now you can adapt the tone to your company's communication or include instructions for users.
Improvements
- Total items in audits: the Audits screens now show how many records were found with the applied filters. Several of them, such as Sent Emails, Entities (Changes), Access Logs and Power Pilot Usage, also gained buttons to jump straight to the first and last page. See the documentation
