New Features
Tabbed browse card
Catalog teams have asked for more control over the landing and home page experience in order to organize content and serve multiple personas to help guide discovery. We now support multiple named and tabbed browse cards so that admin users can configure a landing experience for various purposes, personas, teams, domains, or more. Tabbed browse cards are supported for UI and MDP configuration of both site-wide and individual catalog org profile pages. CTK-configured browse cards do not support tabbed browse cards at this time.
Governance: Automation History MVP
Automation History MVP provides Catalog Admins with the ability to view a history of automation runs, including the status of both past and current executions. This feature improves observability, allowing admins to determine when automations last ran and whether they were successful.
Bulk Editing Support for Columns
Bulk Editing Support for Columns enables Catalog teams to efficiently edit table columns at a tabular level. From the Columns tab on a table page, users can perform all bulk editing actions previously available only at the collection level. This enhancement streamlines the curation process, making it easier to manage and refine columns within individual tables.
Updates to Metrics Datasets
We’re excited to share updates to key tables in the metrics and audit datasets delivered as part of your Data Catalog Team org. These changes fix bugs and add additional features to these tables.
Updated Tables and Key Changes
1. Daily_dwec_asset_facts (available in baseplatformdata, platform-analytics, and platform-data private Snowflake listings) and Resources_live_metadata_assets_activity_by_day (available in ddw-metrics dataset and ddw-metrics private Snowflake listings)
The ASSET column has been renamed to rdf_type for improved clarity. This column now uniformly holds the value “ALL” due to a proliferation of types in customer data catalogs, making aggregation by rdf_type not directly usable. For granular measures by resource type, use daily_catalog_resources_pages_facts.
2. daily_catalog_resources_pages_facts
Resource creation, updates, and deletions are now derived from audit events for more reliable insights; however, human readable names are not available on audit events. Therefore, the resourcename column will remain NULL until specific UI actions are performed in the catalog (e.g., resource view, edit, delete). Additionally, the resourcetype column now includes an array of type IRIs, enabling more detailed categorization.
Looking Ahead
We are actively working to reintroduce aggregation by rdf_type through new categorization techniques and will provide updates as progress is made.

As always, please reach out to your Customer Success team if you have questions or want to provide feedback.
