Enhancements

Data Catalog

  • The import functionality now groups commands in batches internally so that commands that have dependencies are executed after their dependencies. For example, domains are always created before assets and assets are always created before their relations.

Data Governance

  • You can now use views on the Organization page of the Stewardship application.
  • You can now only use refreshed navigation, classic navigation is no longer available.
  • If moving a domain or community causes a conflict of scopes, the moved domain or community is removed from its original scope.

Assessments

  • URLs for conducting assessments are simplified, to facilitate the integration of assessments in dashboards and workflows.
    Note When implementing this change, we also adjusted the terminology used in the URL to reflect terminology used in the Assessments app. This could result in broken links if you use the URLs outside of the Assessments app. We encourage you to verify such links if you use them, for example, in dashboards or workflows.

Diagrams

  • You can now configure business qualifier filtering for complex relations.

Search
