May Release #1, 2026

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

Find experts based on achievements

In Expert Finder, you can now find experts based on what someone has actually achieved, rather than just what's required of them. Pick a person, then choose between three filters: Required, Achieved, or Compliant (skills that are both required and achieved). Expert Finder then shows you who matches.

Until now, the Expert Finder was limited to searching employees by their requirements. With this update, you can use it much more widely, including when you have "minimum number of employees" rules – or no requirements at all.

This means you’ll have additional ways to find the right person for the job, whether you're covering absences or planning succession.

Additionally, search results now display all skills for a matched expert, including both those that meet your search criteria and those that fall outside of it. Previously, only the skills that failed to meet the criteria were shown.

New dedicated Insights pages for Skills and Employees

We've moved the skill-related and employee-related charts off the Overall compliance Insights page and into two dedicated pages: Skills and Employees. You’ll now enjoy a clearer structure and easier navigation when you want to focus on a specific angle.

Each page also includes a new data table with all underlying data, which is fully searchable and exportable, along with dedicated filters so you can drill straight into the slice that matters.

More charts and views will land on these pages in the coming releases. We’re building them into a richer place to explore your compliance data.

Improvements across the platform

We've also introduced an enhancement to improve clarity and consistency within AG5:

Skill exemptions

Skill exemptions now have a distinct visual (a dashed circle) and are clearly shown across AG5 in matrices, sidebars, employee profiles and other pages. All other skill states previously displayed with a dashed circle now use a solid circle instead.
