Enhancements to pipeline and lineage graphs

🎉 What's new

Introducing a new and improved pipeline graph! With this release, you will be able to show or hide assets linked to Airflow tasks, giving you complete visibility over what each task reads from and writes to.

And that's not all, you'll also notice improvements in the usability and performance of the lineage graph. Crisscrossing edges, browser hanging, or lineage too slow or needs too many clicks? We've worked extensively to provide you with better performance and usability:

  • Eliminated crisscrossing edges on the graph.
  • Reduced the time required to render and browse lineage graph — from minutes to seconds!

Check out both and let us know what you think!

  • Business Name (Alias) — add business-oriented aliases for your assets
  • Custom Metadata — enter custom metadata values for any properties you want to enrich based on the description and expected data type and format.

Explore other search results that match

🎉 What's new

Atlan now enables you to check your “other” matched search results easily! If you're filtering and searching for a particular asset type and nothing comes up, you'll be able to view other asset types that match your search keywords. You can simply click the Check other matches button and check all other search matches.

✨ Let's dig deeper

Atlan will ask you if you'd like to explore other asset types that match, so you can continue your search seamlessly. This will positively impact your discovery experience on the asset search page only. Note that this capability is not supported for command menu search.

👏 Give it a shot

Power your discoveries in Atlan with a more intuitive search experience and explore other search matches! And as you try it out, let us know what you think.

Stakeholders, playbooks, and custom metadata for data products

🎉 What's new

Announcing not one, not two, but three new enhancements to your experience of data products in Atlan — add stakeholders to your domains and subdomains, update metadata for domains and products in bulk using playbooks, and custom metadata support for domains and products.

New feature enhancements for data products

Add stakeholders for domains

Announcing a new set of responsibilities specially appointed for domains — stakeholders! You can now add your Atlan users as stakeholders to a domain or subdomain and assign titles to them such as Domain Owner, Architect, and more. This will help your data consumers identify the right stakeholders involved in the management of a particular domain. Note that stakeholders do not help with enforcing access control currently.

Here's what’s new for you:

  • Your domains and subdomains now display stakeholders.
  • You can add or remove stakeholders in a domain.
  • You can specify the designation that a stakeholder has within a domain.

Update domains and products in bulk using playbooks

Announcing playbook capabilities for your domains, subdomains, and data products! Run playbooks to update domain and product metadata in bulk. Note that Atlan currently does not support adding certificates, tags, and terms to domains and subdomains. The playbooks will update metadata for the domains and products and not for the underlying assets.

Add custom metadata to domains and products

Atlan now supports enriching your data domains and products with custom metadata. Add more context for your data consumers with custom metadata. Note that this does not impact the custom metadata attached to underlying assets in the data products. You can:

  • Specify the domains and products on which the custom metadata properties should apply.
  • View custom metadata on the domain and product profiles.
  • Edit custom metadata directly from domains and products (provided you have edit permissions through personas).

👏 Give it a shot

Get started with curating your asset universe with data domains and products! Before you can explore data domains and products, you will need your Atlan admin to enable the products module in your Atlan workspace.

Learn more:

  • What are data products?
  • What is business lineage?
  • How to create data domains
  • How to create domain policies
  • How to create data products
  • How to monitor data domains

Bulk enrichment of assets via Excel

🎉 What's new

Excel enthusiasts, from the same team that brought to you enriching metadata for exported assets in Google Sheets and syncing changes to Atlan, support for Microsoft Excel has arrived! You can now bulk update metadata directly in Microsoft Excel for your exported assets and sync updates to Atlan. Any non-guest user with edit access to an asset's metadata can collaborate, update, and sync changes from their Excel workbooks.

Export a list of assets from Atlan to Excel, collaborate with your team, make bulk updates, and sync all changes back to Atlan — yes, it's that easy!

Enhancements to asset metadata display

🎉 What's new

Announcing improved truncation in the display of linked terms, tags, and owners attached to your assets. The metadata display will be truncated to only show the top few terms, tags, or owners while the rest will be collapsed. Expand the Show more menu to view all metadata for your assets.

✨ Let's dig deeper

Improved truncation enhances the display of the following metadata:

  • Owners
  • Tags, dbt tags
  • Linked terms

With this improvement, you will be able to browse metadata more easily on the:

  • asset preview card
  • asset sidebar

And you can always click Show more to view all available metadata in the asset sidebar.

👏 Give it a shot

Ease into a more seamless asset discovery experience with improved truncation! And as you try it out, let us know what you think.

Enhancements to lineage navigation

🎉 What's new

While exploring asset lineage in Atlan, you may notice something new — say hello to the new Show all button! Click the Show all button to view the full list of dependencies, including assets and processes, for a specific lineage level. Get the full picture of your data flows!

If there are more than 100 assets, a popup will appear asking you to scroll to the bottom of the list and click Show all again to view all remaining dependencies.

Cosmos DB — new connector alert!

🎉 What's new

Atlan now supports native integration with Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB — a NoSQL data source! This empowers our users to catalog and enrich their Cosmos DB assets in Atlan, such as MongoDB databases and collections.

Cosmos DB - Atlan integration

✨ Let's dig deeper

You can set up the Cosmos DB connector to:

  • Seamlessly discover and document your Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB assets — databases and collections.
  • Use any of the two authentication methods to catalog your assets: SCRAM-SHA authentication (supported for both request unit (RU) and vCore cluster-based deployments) or service principal authentication (supported for RU-based deployments only).
  • Use the Collection type filter to filter your Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB collections.
  • Future upgrades include support for nested columns and lineage.
