Introducing our newest feature: bulk import and edit for glossary terms!

Catalog administrators can now bulk upload glossary terms for faster onboarding and enrichment, and make bulk edits to ensure your catalog is always accurate.

This feature enables the following workflows:

• upload glossary terms using a template custom to your catalog's metadata profile

• download a spreadsheet of all current glossary terms

• edit information, add new terms, delete terms in exported spreadsheet

• upload updated spreadsheet to application

• preview changes made in spreadsheet before applying changes

For more information, refer to the full documentation here.

We now support metadata collection from Tableau via Connection Manager. Previously, users were able to collect metadata via the data.world Collector, but now users can perform this task in-app.

Both Tableau Online and Tableau Server are supported, as well as the following connection types: Direct connection (inbound), SSH tunnel (inbound, preferred).

We have some awesome news! Our member access summary page is now live!

The member access summary makes it much easier for members to understand the various levels of access they have in an organization. As we work to make our access levels more flexible and granular, this page also gives our org admins the ability to quickly audit the level of access their members have and take action.

We've been super busy over the last few weeks, and we're excited to share that we've officially launched a new feature called the browse card, a configurable, quick navigation card available for private instance Enterprise customers.

This configurable card shows up on your Action Center home page and helps you direct your users to important resources, organizations, collections, and other links - giving them a curated starting point. Read our Implementation Guide to get started or reach out to your Customer Success representative if you need to upgrade your catalog plan.

newThe wait is over! Explorer - the latest part of our Eureka™ feature suite - is now generally available to all eligible enterprise customers.  

Explorer is a visual map of your data and relationships powered by the knowledge graph. It leverages enhanced automated lineage metadata collection and the context of the graph to deliver a unified, consolidated view of your data pipeline. It serves as a source of truth, providing valuable insight into your most important data assets.

Understand your data landscape in a powerful way with an enhanced graph visualization that enriches your understanding and discovery. Query this data for more insights. Find answers in a matter of clicks, not hours or days.

We’re pleased to announce the newest metadata collector, Fivetran, is now available for Enterprise customer use. Fivetran is a UI-based Extract Transform Load (ETL) designer for creating pipelines between users’ source systems and data warehouses. 

Metadata collected includes data source, destination, column, table, schema, and our newly announced Lineage functionality as well. You can read more about how to use the Fivetran collector in the documentation.

Big news today! 🎉

You asked and we listened. Admin users now have the ability to change the default access of the Members of their organization.

You can find this new feature on the Members tab in the section titled Default access for all members.

Members is the special out-of-the-box group that automatically includes all members in an organization and determines the minimum level of access for all members in the organization. Please read more about this setting in our Docs Portal.

With our latest release, users are now able to bookmark even more things. Just click on the bookmark icon from search results on the Resources tab or directly on the detail page to create bookmarks for your metadata resources, insights, collections, datasets, projects and more.

As you click on the bookmark you'll see how many other people have bookmarked the page. Find the full list of your bookmarks on your bookmark page and your latest additions on your personal Action Center home page.

Visit our Docs Portal for more details about bookmarks.

We’ve enriched our suite of metrics with the ability to monitor and govern all change requests submitted and approved/denied to your catalog resources via the UI.

With suggest changes metrics, you can monitor the following:

• All approvals/denials to any ‘suggest change’ request submitted to your catalog resources. 
• All pending ‘suggest change’ requests (neither approved nor denied) 
• An activity receipt on all catalog resources (highlighting the number of edits, deletes, creations, views, and changes submitted on any resource).

PRO TIP: Query these tables in our built in query workbench for powerful insights, such as filtering by a specific type of resource, the responder or requestor, or by a particular date range. This short video highlights some key use cases:

This enhancement to our metrics suite allows governance teams to quickly find a list of all change submissions which haven’t been acted upon, or monitor the changes to your catalog resources made via the UI. 

Tables added/updated:

1. Events - Catalog Resources Approved Or Denied Suggestions - By Day
2. Events - Catalog Resources Pending Suggestions - By Day
3. Events - Catalog Resources Pages Activity - By Day
