Atlan now crawls Monte Carlo alerts and incidents for the last 30 days by default! This ensures that the red indicators and failing monitors are relevant and actionable, helping you focus on recent and meaningful issues. You'll also have the option to set the date range to the last 14 or 45 days instead of the default configuration.

✨ Let's dig deeper

Previously, Atlan fetched all historical alerts and incidents from Monte Carlo, which often resulted in irrelevant red indicators and failing monitors. For example, an outdated failing monitor from one year ago could show up in Atlan today, causing unnecessary confusion.

Hence, we've optimized the Monte Carlo integration to deliver the following:

• Faster syncs — reduced runtime for the Monte Carlo package, enabling you to schedule your workflows more frequently.
• Fewer API calls — a significant reduction in API requests to avoid any rate-limiting issues with Monte Carlo.

👏 Give it a shot

For any new and existing Monte Carlo integration in Atlan, you'll only receive alerts and incidents for the last 30 days after the next workflow run. You can also modify the configuration to change the data range.

You can now save data products as draft in Atlan! Take the time you need to curate your data products before unveiling them to your data teams. 

✨ Let's dig deeper

When you create a new product in Atlan, you will now have the option to Save as draft on the very last step of the product creation flow:

• Save your changes in a draft version and publish it only when you're ready. Atlan recommends that you enrich your draft product with requisite documentation and certification status before publishing it.
• Only you and any other users you add as owners to the product will be able to search for, view, and edit your draft products, depending on their permissions. You can also archive a draft product, which would delete it entirely.
• Navigate to My drafts on the products homepage to view all your draft products. Only a draft product's lineage graph shows lineage with the draft product included, to help you envision the future state.
• A draft product will not show up in search, on the sidebar, or product lineage view for other products.
• You can also change the status of a published data product to Draft if you think it needs more work.

👏 Give it a shot

Enjoy the time and freedom to curate your products your way with draft mode. And while you try it, let us know what you think!

Atlan now supports a streamlined experience for discovering and understanding your linked Monte Carlo monitors. Monitors will be categorized by the type of data quality check as shown in Monte Carlo, making it easier for you to understand Monte Carlo metadata for your assets in Atlan. Additionally, we’ve refined the card design to be lighter, highlighting the most critical information at a glance.

🎉 What's new

We've enhanced how Atlan handles tag sync for modified workflow configurations. Previously, disabling tag import would remove any imported tags from your assets. Now, when you modify a workflow to disable tag import, Atlan will automatically preserve all previously imported tags while preventing future tag import. This improvement maintains data continuity and protects your existing tag attachments.

Atlan currently supports importing tags from the following data sources:

• Databricks
• dbt
• Snowflake

🎉 What's new

Atlan now supports column-level lineage between your dbt sources and models! In addition, you'll be able to view dbt column-level processes between assets for more context on lineage. This release builds on the previously released support for column-level lineage for your dbt models.

🎉 What's new

Atlan now supports Looker refinements for views and explores! This release helps you discover refined fields and track lineage across your Looker projects.

✨ Let's dig deeper

Refined fields for views and explores will be displayed with a Refinement label in Atlan, helping you distinguish them from the original assets. You can find this label on each refined field in the sidebar and preview columns.

On the lineage graph, you'll notice an "R" label attached to all refined fields, making it easier to track lineage from dashboards to refined fields in views and explores.

👏 Give it a shot

If you have an existing Looker integration in Atlan, you will need to rerun the crawler to crawl and discover refinements. For any new integrations, these will be available from the start.

🎉 What's new

Atlan now supports using the Domains filter in playbooks to help you quickly select and bulk update all assets included in the selected data domains or subdomains. Previously, the domains filter only allowed you to filter for the domains themselves, not the underlying assets.

With this enhancement, you can filter for assets mapped to a specific domain and enrich metadata in bulk! You can bulk update certification status, attach tags, or even map the assets to a different domain using the domains filter. Curate assets quickly with the enhanced domains filter on playbooks!

Announcing the ability to turn on the products module only for admin users or select personas in Atlan! This release empowers you to have greater control over who views and uses data products, helping you curate access and fine-tune your rollout plans.

✨ Let's dig deeper

As an Atlan admin, head over to Labs in the admin center and locate the Products toggle:

• If the module is turned off, you can choose to open up the module to specific sets of users only or all users. Once you have made your selections, only the users or groups that you have specified will be able to view and use the products module in Atlan. You can currently open up the module to:
  • Only admins — enable the products module for all admin users in Atlan.
  • Selected personas with existing domain policies — enable the products module for specific personas with domain policies. Additionally, Include all admins is selected by default as a configurable fallback measure. If you keep the default selection, any admin user will be able to access the module irrespective of whether they belong to the specified personas.
  • All users and personas — enable the products module for all your Atlan users and personas.
• If the module is turned on, you will notice that it's turned on for all users and personas, visible below the toggle. You can change that to curate access for admins only or one or more personas with domain policies.

👏 Give it a shot

Enjoy fearless curation with selective opening of the products module! And while you try it, let us know what you think.
