This page lists the changes and news related to this update.

Key enhancements

Event-driven metrics

We are continuously improving automated badge calculations, providing users with more efficient visibility of key data quality and governance metrics. The rule engine has improved handling for badges that use a time variable to set their value, automatically recalculating these badges over time to check their validity.

Search improvements

We have introduced improved search and filtering capabilities. These improvements allow users to search badges by values, and search for assets by AI-assigned glossary terms.

Governance improvements

We improved the fluidity of many governance scenarios from technical harvesting of metadata till the activity log of the various contributions within initiatives. Ownership types are now tied to distinct permissions, allowing you to separate business and technical activities. You can also edit assets in bulk to quickly redistribute them across several initiatives, to better distribute work among your teams.

Audit trails

We have upgraded Audit Trails to provide users and stakeholders with more actionable information about operations related to harvesting, ingestion, and enrichments, change of ownership or arrival of new contributors.
