Big news today! 🎉

You asked for more granular control of your data catalog and we listened. We're excited to introduce Collection Access Control. This NEW Feature is going to help you scale your Agile Data Governance program by providing more granular ways to control the access and management of your data catalog.

Collection Access Control provides role-based control to your metadata resources by collection, helping you target who can see and edit the resources in your catalog.

Read more about how to manage collection access on our documentation portal.

Custom resources play an important role in a data catalog's ability to accurately represent your company's metadata. Users need to be able to add resources that aren't directly from data sources to give a full picture of their data landscapes. Now, users can create these custom resources directly from the UI and manage them like any other resource.

After designating which resources should have this feature enabled in your metadata profile, users will be able to access these resources in the "Other resources" section in the "New resource" dropdown (in the example below, the custom resources are "Bank account" and Credit card").

For more information, refer to the documentation.

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).

For more information, refer to the documentation here.

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.

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.

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.
