What's New in 2026.6

Modified: 23 Jun 2026 Vista

The Vista 2026.6 release includes several enhancements and new features, as well as defect fixes that apply to all geographies.

General Features

This release delivers on general user-requested enhancements, fixes, and other improvements.

Trimble Marketplace Linked in Main Menu
On the main menu, you can now select the Trimble icon to access a link to the Trimble Marketplace.

Easily explore Trimble products and integrations from the Marketplace.
New Explicit SMTP Authentication Option
To reduce email connection issues, Vista now explicitly separates Simple SMTP authentication from Integrated Windows authentication (NTLM/Kerberos). In VA Site Settings, you can select SMTP - Integrated from the Email Client field (Email Settings tab). See Email Client for more information.
Update to Software Requirements
For 2026.6 only, both the ASP.NET Core 8.0 and 10 Runtime Windows Hosting Bundle should be installed on the Vista Application server.

Headquarters Features

This release delivers user-requested Headquarters enhancements, fixes, and other improvements.

Updates to the HQ Super Funds form (Australia only)

New fields and logic in the HQ Super Funds form support the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) SuperStream Alternative File Format (SAFF) for bank transfers to various superannuation funds, particularly Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSF). See these pages for more information:

Additionally, the Fund ID field has been repositioned in the form and renamed Unique Fund ID (USI/SPIN).

Payroll Features

This release delivers bug fixes and Australia-related Payroll enhancements.

This update prepares Australian payroll users for the Payday Super regulatory reform, which takes effect on 1 July 2026, changing how employers calculate, pay, and report Superannuation Guarantee (SG) amounts. Vista has been enhanced to ensure full compliance with these new requirements.

From Vista, you can generate legacy QuickSuper files for obligations dated through June 2026, and use the new SAFF format for all payroll from 1 July 2026 onward.

Note: Two detailed user guides are available to assist you with necessary configurations of Payday Super liabilities and contributions in advance of the 1 July 2026 cutover date. Before going live with Payday Super, ensure you run a test payroll and generate a Superannuation report to confirm the output appears as expected.

Access the guides:
