The November release of data.world is here - we’re expanding our preview of SCIM integration, and we’ve got improvements to Collectors and also to the Catalog user experience.

Read on to learn about these new features and to preview some upcoming changes!

SCIM now in Public Preview

Our support for SCIM has now moved into Public Preview. This feature simplifies user and group management by integrating directly with your Identity Provider, ensuring seamless provisioning, updates, and deprovisioning. Our SCIM implementation supports Okta and Microsoft Entra as identity providers. See the product documentation for more information about SCIM.

If you're interested in enabling SCIM for your organization, please reach out to your Customer Success Director to discuss your needs and begin implementation. We’re here to help make the process as smooth as possible.

UX Improvements

Advanced relationship editing 

We recently launched the ability to batch add and remove many relationships to a resource at once. This will make it easier to build the context needed to understand your data.

New avatars

We released new avatars that utilize letters and an updated color palette. This change provides a more accessible experience and quicker scannability.

Coming Soon

Activity feed for Resources

Soon, we’ll be introducing a new Activity tab on Resources, Glossary and Collection objects that show edit history and other activity in the UI. This will make it easier for users to quickly understand how the resources have been updated and changed.

Support for using accounts as field attributes

To make it easier to attribute owners, stewards and subject matter experts to your resources, we’ll be introducing the ability to configure people fields with the data.world user accounts. This will make this metadata more dynamic and provide the expected experience when it comes to governing resources.

Browse card improvements

We’ll soon be introducing major updates to the browse cards. Among the new functionality will be the ability to build new and multiple named and tabbed browse cards and build access control aware links. This work will give teams the tools they need to provide more persona-oriented pathways into the catalog.
