• Data Lineage
• The lineage harvestersoftware requirements have been updated. You now need Java Runtime Environment version 17 or newer, or OpenJDK 17 or newer.

Data Lineage and BI integrations

Data Catalog

We made the following updates to the Unified Data Classification method:

• The "Created On" and "Last Modified On" columns in the Data Classification page now also show the time.
  Note This is available only in the latest UI.
• In the Unified Data Classification method, all data classes in the Data Classification page are user-defined. Therefore, the "User defined" column is no longer available when you use the Unified Data Classification method.
• When creating a new data classification rule, the Type list now shows "List of values" instead of LIST_OF_VALUES.

Data Lineage and BI integrations

  Note This is available only in the latest UI.

• We fixed an issue where an unexpected value was displayed in the Search bar for Data Marketplace. (ticket #135516)

Workflows

• Subsequent workflow user tasks that have the same form reference with mandatory radio buttons components that store the full value no longer require you to reselect the data before being able to submit the form.

Browser Extension

• The Business Context section now shows all the relations for Power BI Dashboards and Tableau Dashboards.

New look and feel (latest UI)

Enhancements

• The Settings pages are now available in the latest UI.

The remaining user interface strings in the latest UI are provided and translated by Collibra in the four supported languages.
• Views: When editing the columns or fields in a table or tile view, you can now reorder the columns or fields by using the new Top, Bottom, and Before options. This eliminates the need to always use the drag-and-drop operation for reordering columns or fields. (idea #DCC-I-2869, DCC-I-3097)

• Tables: We have improved editing cells in a table for attribute types, relation types, and statuses. Each cell editor now has two buttons - save and cancel. Clicking on the save button is the only way to save the changes. If there is any cell edit in progress, clicking away from the cell will result in a loss of changes. (idea #DCC-I-3168)
