Advanced Search now in the global search bar

We are happy to announce the release of our latest feature: Advanced Search within the global search bar. 


In addition to adding Advanced Search to our global search bar, we've improved it by including the ability to pre-scope your search to a certain Organization. If you are an Enterprise customer with multiple organizations, you can now pre-select the organization to which you want to limit your search.

But wait, there's more!

For customers who have hierarchical collections, you'll want to check out our beta release of the collection picker in the Advanced Search modal. This gives users the ability to quickly scope their search to a branch of collections in the domain hierarchy. Be sure to turn on the beta feature flag in the advanced settings to see this feature.
 


The new advanced search features in the global search bar are designed to provide a more intuitive and powerful data discovery experience from login. With these new capabilities, you'll be able to find the data and insights you need, faster than ever before.

Refer to the advanced search documentation to learn more.

We're committed to continually improving our platform and are eager to hear your feedback. Please feel free to reach out via our support portal to share your thoughts, experiences, and suggestions regarding our new Advanced Search features. Visit our website to learn more about Data Discovery or book a demo. Together, let's unlock the true potential of data-driven decision-making.

📣 Announcing our latest search enhancements

Over the past several weeks, we've introduced a set of search IMPROVEMENTS we want to share:

  1. Partial title search. Allows users to search for resources by entering just a portion of the title (3+ characters), making it easier to find the right data.
  2. More related metadata search. From the context of a resource page, this improvement allows users the ability to search and filter related resources based on all the searchable metadata fields of a resource - including custom fields - which means it is now easier to filter large lists.
  3. More camel case support. We have extended camel case support to our relationship filters. This makes it easier to find resources that have complex names that combine uppercase and lowercase letters.
  4. Updated column search cards. This update improves the column search experience by providing users with additional information about columns such as database and datatype, making it easier to understand what each resource is without clicking through and back between the detail pages.

At data.world, our goal is to help organizations unlock the full potential of their data. We're constantly improving search in order to better serve our customers looking to take data management and discovery to the next level.

If you're interested in learning more about our data discovery solutions, please visit our website and book a demo. You can also read more about our search features on the docs portal. We look forward to helping you manage your data and transform the way your users discover it!

Get a quick summary of the access your members have

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.


Be the first to learn about the member access summary page in our docs portal.

More Bookmarks!

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.

User Groups for Organizations

We're excited to announce that we've released a significant new feature to give organizations more flexibility in managing members and permissions through User Groups.

With groups, you can:

  • Create new custom groups to independently manage people, data, and metadata on the platform much more easily.
  • Grant groups access to organization-owned datasets and projects.
  • Manage different levels of access to all metadata catalog resources via groups.
  • Have different access levels for people responsible for catalog configuration and for catalog curation.

This feature has changed how new users are added to organizations on the platform. This short video highlights the changes. 


Updated documentation portal

We are excited to announce upcoming improvements to our help docs portal, including streamlining and consolidating our product documentation, cleaning up deprecated articles and links, and improving the navigation and search experience!

With the site improvements, some of your bookmarks or saved links may no longer work. We have diligently mapped deprecated URLs to the new pags to keep the impact on our users as low as possible. 

If you encounter a link that no longer works, the easiest way to find what you need is to go to the docs portal landing page and search for the information. Please contact support with any questions of issues.

Preview the simplified navigation and Discover page

This May, data.world’s navigation is getting more powerful and even easier to use – we’re adding a Discover button! Preview the changes today to discover all the resources you have access to with a single click.
