The requests widget is designed to help you streamline your work, so try it out and let us know what you think. 

The assets dashboard in the reporting center has some new things up its sleeves!

Here are the new features that you can explore:

• README metrics — track metrics for assets with READMEs, directly from the reporting center.
• Has readme filter — filter out assets that do not have any READMEs to ramp up documentation efforts.
• Custom date picker — filter metrics for your assets within a custom date range.

These enhancements to the assets dashboard can help you monitor your asset metrics at a more granular level and customize the reporting center to better fit your needs. 

Explore the latest additions to the reporting center and keep an eye out for more to come!

Introducing hierarchical discovery patterns for your Tableau, Power BI, and Looker assets! Atlan now supports a hierarchy-based discovery experience for data source fields and calculated fields for Tableau data sources, columns for Power BI tables, and fields for Looker explores and views. 

The following enhancements are currently supported for the above BI assets:

• A new Fields tab in the asset sidebar — similar to the Columns tab for SQL assets.
• A new Field Preview section in the asset profile — similar to the Column preview section for SQL assets.
• Opening a BI field asset in a new tab will lead to a view of the parent asset profile with the child asset displayed in the sidebar.

With these enhancements, users will now be able to view logical parent-child relationships for their BI assets as well as easily discover field assets for their BI data sources for documentation and lineage analysis in Atlan.

Get more context for your BI assets with this enhanced discovery experience — and don't forget to share your feedback!

Atlan's GitHub Action places impact analysis right into your pull request. However, as our users have shared, the GitHub comments can often be too long to read — especially for dbt models with hundreds of downstream assets.

To ensure a better user experience, the impacted assets in the comment are now displayed in a collapsible section. Click the arrow in the comment for a detailed view of all your impacted assets in Atlan.

Atlan now supports connecting with Qlik Sense — the cloud analytics solution — to help you bring in your asset metadata from Qlik Sense to Atlan. With this integration, data teams can now get more context from their Qlik Sense assets in relation to the rest of their data estate in Atlan.

The following capabilities are currently supported:

• Asset profiles for Qlik Sense assets: spaces, datasets, applications, sheets, and charts
• Filtering and discovery of Qlik Sense assets
• Lineage view of data flow for your Qlik Sense assets

Go ahead and try out the new connector!

Also, keep an eye out for these upcoming enhancements — column-level lineage for your Qlik Sense assets, data joins in the data manager within Qlik applications, and calculated fields in asset profiles and lineage views.

Discover your Qlik Sense assets and view lineage in Atlan

With Atlan's API-first approach, data teams in the Microsoft ecosystem can now bring in their Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) assets to power discovery, data lineage, and impact analysis in Atlan. Use our open APIs to programmatically drive the ingestion of your ADLS assets into Atlan.

Atlan currently supports the following capabilities:

• ADLS asset profiles — account, storage container, and Blob objects
• Filtering and discovery of ADLS assets
• Data lineage for visualizing data flow from ADLS objects to analytics tools

Note: We've launched this support through APIs — ADLS is currently unavailable as a native connector in Atlan.

Discover and enrich your ADLS assets in Atlan

We know that you love the Has lineage filter that helps you quickly discover assets with lineage. We’ve now added another filter to power your asset discovery — the Has readme filter!

The README filter enables you to quickly discover assets that have an attached README, providing more context to data teams right away. Alternatively, this out-of-the-box filter can help you discover assets that do not have a README attached. Data champions can then encourage their teams to enrich and curate such assets.

Give the new filter a shot and tell us what you think!

We are excited to introduce usage and popularity metrics in the lineage graph for your Snowflake and Google BigQuery assets in Atlan! 💥

Having the ability to analyze asset usage metadata and popularity scores right from lineage can help you discover assets that may be least queried or without any downstream usage. For example, these metrics can be especially useful to know when you're figuring out whether to deprecate certain assets in your data estate.

Usage and popularity metrics in asset lineage views can help you get one step closer to efficiently optimizing your operations and gaining the most value-driven insights from Atlan.

Tell us what you think about this new feature and stay tuned for more updates.

Understanding the changes to an asset and their impact are critical to building trust in your data assets. For instance, changes to an upstream asset can impact downstream data pipelines and dashboards, potentially causing disruption in an organization.

With this release, we bring to you the following enhancements:

• The option to download upstream assets, downstream assets, or both in Google Sheets.
• The ability to document metadata for impacted assets in Google Sheets and sync the changes back to Atlan. Atlan currently supports documenting descriptions, certificates, announcements, and owners for impacted assets.

Note: The Download Impact Analysis button has been renamed Download Lineage.

Atlan playbooks help data teams create rule-based automations for asset enrichment, such as attaching classifications. With this update, users will now have increased flexibility in controlling how classifications are propagated for their assets.

As we continue to enhance playbook capabilities, we've now added the option to control propagation when attaching classifications as an action. This gives admin users the ability to control how classifications are propagated.

• Existing playbooks — default propagation setting is set to false. When editing an existing playbook, users will have the option to change the propagation rules.
• New playbooks — default propagation setting is set to true.
