Enhancements to Emburse Connect for Analytics
For customers who subscribe to Emburse Connect for Analytics (also known as “Snowflake Read/Snowflake Share”), we are making infrastructure improvements to support more frequent data syncing. These changes may impact how you access data from Emburse Connect.
What Is Changing?
- We are updating our data storage system. As a result, the earliest available _EMBURSE_UPDATEDATE will be reset to a more recent date.
- Historical records marked as _EMBURSE_DELETED = true will no longer be accessible.
- If you filter data using _EMBURSE_UPDATEDATE, you may need to adjust your start timestamp by one hour earlier to ensure you capture all updates.
- The sync frequency will remain hourly, but the exact sync times may shift.
- We are rebuilding all views within Emburse Connect, which will update their creation dates. However, column formats and order will stay the same.
Faster Data Processing
We have also improved processing speed for certain transformed data views. These updates now run as soon as transaction data is available, reducing processing time from over an hour to just 30 minutes. If you have any questions, please reach out to Emburse Enterprise Support.

New Default Format for Downloading Reports
To simplify the process of downloading report results, we have changed the default download format to Excel (XLSX), which is the most used download format by a significant margin. Users may still select other download formats if desired.

Introducing the Expense Approval Metrics Standard Dashboard
We have introduced a new Expense Approval Metrics standard dashboard to enable admins to track the overall health of the approval process across the organization. You can quickly assess the volume of approvals by approver, the end-to-end cycle time from the date an expense was incurred to when it is fully approved and exported, and a breakdown of the routing steps by volume and time taken to approve.
With a series of filters, you can adjust the timeframe for analysis and drill down to specific approvers and/or expense owners. The dashboard can be found in the following folder: All / Emburse Analytics / Expense Enterprise.
Introducing the AP Approval Metrics Standard Dashboard
We have introduced a new AP Approval Metrics standard dashboard to enable admins to monitor the effectiveness of the approvals carried out by the AP team. The dashboard shows summary information about volume of approvals, average time-to-approve, and compliance rate, as well as a breakdown of stats by individual approver. The dashboard can be found in the following folder: All / Emburse Analytics / Expense Enterprise.
