🎉 What's new

Tag propagation is now disabled by default in Atlan! This gives you the power to decide whether you want tags to be propagated to your child, downstream, or linked assets.

If you have ever ended up inadvertently tagging hundreds of downstream assets, you can rest easy now. With No propagation as the new default setting for tags in Atlan, tags will only be attached to the intended asset. You can enable tag propagation as needed.

Take full control of tag propagation with this new release — and let us know what you think!

We're excited to announce that Atlan now supports dbt tests as assets for discovery and documentation. This new feature will allow dbt test users to view relevant metadata in Atlan, adding valuable context to their data quality processes.

✨ Let's dig deeper

dbt tests are used to ensure the accuracy and consistency of data and help identify and fix errors that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. For example, you can use dbt tests to verify whether your data conforms to a specific schema or meets certain quality standards.

With this release, you'll be able to:

• View dbt test results directly in Atlan.
• Discover metadata about your dbt test assets, including name, description, and status.

Note: For dbt Core users, you will need to upload the run_results.json file to crawl dbt tests. We recommend uploading it to the same folder as the manifest.json file.

Discover your dbt test assets in Atlan.

View the outcome of dbt tests on the underlying data they are validating.

Filter assets based on their dbt test results.

👏 Give it a shot

Set up dbt Cloud or dbt Core in Atlan and discover and enrich your dbt test assets! If you use dbt tests, check that they are now loading in Atlan the next time your dbt workflow runs. For any requests on enhancements or additional capabilities, reach out to us!

Atlan’s Chrome extension opens up a sidebar within your ThoughtSpot workspace and provides you with all the context you need, without having to switch tools.

Previously, users had to switch to Atlan for more information about their ThoughtSpot assets — for example, who owns it and whether it is certified or not. Now you can use Atlan's Chrome extension to learn more about your liveboards, answers, and visualizations right in ThoughtSpot.

To truly make the reporting center your one-stop shop for asset metrics, Atlan now supports asset previews in a sidebar and applied filters for the reporting center.

✨ Let's dig deeper

Visual representations often convey complex information more effectively than raw data, so here's how the new features can help:

• Save valuable time by seamlessly viewing asset previews without leaving your reporting workflow.
• Get additional context on applied filters from the metrics view and asset sidebar.

👏 Give it a shot

With applied filters context and asset previews, the reporting center provides you with a comprehensive look at what's happening to your assets in Atlan. Check these out today and let us know what you think!

We are excited to announce native support for Aiven Kafka — expanding Atlan's integration with even more Kafka flavors!

✨ Let's dig deeper

You can set up the Aiven Kafka connector to:

• Seamlessly discover and document your on-prem Aiven Kafka assets — topics and consumer groups.
• Streamline your workflows with Aiven Kafka filters like message count and topic name for quick asset discovery.
• View end-to-end lineage for root cause and impact analyses.
• Only on-premises S3-based extraction is supported for Aiven Kafka — direct extraction is currently unavailable.

👏 Give it a shot

We are actively working to enhance our Kafka integration by supporting more native asset types and other flavors of Kafka. Stay tuned for more updates! In the meantime, also check out our Apache Kafka and Confluent Kafka packages!

We have revamped our group mapping sync capabilities to ensure that SSO group mappings are triggered every time a user authenticates in Atlan. This will enable groups in the SSO provider to sync consistently with the mapped groups in Atlan.

For example, if a user in Atlan is added to a new group or removed from an existing one in the SSO provider, the updates will also be reflected in Atlan. To ensure that changes are synced to Atlan:

• The groups that a user belongs to in the SSO provider should be mapped to Atlan.
• If a group name changes in the SSO provider, you will need to update the group name in Atlan as well.
• A user may need to log out and then log into Atlan again to view the changes.

With enhanced group mapping sync, users will always have the right access to the right data!

🎉 What's new

Atlan now supports creating webhooks! Webhooks allow you to monitor events happening in Atlan, receive notifications to a URL of your choice, and take action immediately. Build all kinds of active metadata use cases — for example, sending notifications when a new term is verified or an asset is tagged.

Create webhooks in Atlan to stay on top of your workflows with automated notifications!

🎉 What's new

Users will now receive Slack notifications when requests are raised in Atlan — and wait for it — approve or reject it directly from Slack!

✨ Let's dig deeper

When a user raises a metadata update request, they usually have to wait for an admin to approve or reject it. There is often a broken feedback loop here — with the admin user not knowing about the request right away while the one who raised it keeps waiting...

Let's change that! With request notifications sent over DM:

• Any user who has access to the asset will receive a notification in Slack when a request is raised for a metadata update.
• If multiple users receive a request notification, any one user with the requisite permissions can take action and the status of the request will be displayed to the rest — no further action required.
• Enabling request notifications is as easy as toggling on the option in your Slack integration settings, and start receiving them right now!

👏 Give it a shot

Simplify your workflows with direct request notifications from Atlan in Slack!
