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 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!

We've enhanced the speed and performance of impact analysis reporting in Atlan! 60x speed improvement? Try it yourself to feel the difference!

You'll also notice two new columns, Immediate Upstream and Immediate Downstream, in the impact analysis report. These can help you better understand the flow of data, making it easier to distribute and manage data update dependencies across your teams. You can also use this information to create a lineage summary report, opening up endless possibilities.

We’d love to hear how you’re using these new features — please feel free to share your use cases with us!

You can now easily spot and open the sidebar for processes on the lineage graph. When you click on an asset or process, the sidebar will be automatically updated with relevant details, such as connector type and more.

If there are more than one processes linking two assets, each process will be represented with an icon for the specific connector. Hover over a process asset on the lineage graph to open the sidebar and view more details.

The Microsoft Power BI connector now supports multiple SQL connections for automated lineage!

Here's what's in store for you:

• While crawling Power BI assets in Atlan, you can now select one or more SQL connections from a list of connected sources in Atlan.
• This will enable upstream lineage from Power BI when your semantic models, reports, and dashboards are powered from multiple SQL sources.
• If you do not specify any existing connections, Atlan will default to considering all available connections for supported SQL sources to generate lineage.

Keeping this short and sweet, two enhancements to improve your lineage experience in Atlan:

• The display of long asset names has been enhanced for better readability. You can now view the first and last few characters in the name to help you distinguish between your objects.
• You can also view the bucket name for your GCS or S3 partial asset objects on the lineage and pipeline graphs.

🎉 What's new

Atlan now displays cyclic dependencies with a different edge color! Plus, self-cyclic dependencies sport a new icon, so that you can easily expand and collapse dependencies on the lineage graph.

Finally, it can be confusing when a node is both upstream and downstream for another node, right? How to interpret the dependencies in both directions? We’ve got you covered, simply click the new eye icon to view the dependencies in both directions.

Announcing many more filters to help you find the right assets for your data products! While adding assets via browse, you now can choose from a diverse set of filters like connections, owners, terms, and more to power through asset selection.

✨ Let's dig deeper

To create data products in Atlan, you could already use the Add via browse method to selectively pick and choose your assets. To help you get to those assets quicker, you can now use a suite of filters:

• Hierarchy — connector, connection, database, and schema filters
• Certificate
• Owners
• Tags
• Terms
• Properties

You can also close the filters pane anytime by clicking on X in the top right. The data product creation page will display a count of the filters you have applied.

👏 Give it a shot

Enjoy greater flexibility in your data product creation experience! Try out the new filters and let us know what you think. Learn more: How to create data products.

Introducing simple, effective, and user-friendly error messages for Snowflake workflows to help you troubleshoot better. With this release, Atlan will generate simplified error messages for test authentication and preflight check failures for your Snowflake workflows.

These English-language error messages are currently only supported for Snowflake:

• Error messages now provide concise and descriptive information about the issue encountered, helping you quickly identify and address the problem.
• These will include references to relevant documentation, empowering you to resolve issues independently.
• In case of any workflow failures due to authentication or preflight checks, you will also receive a Slack or Teams notification (if configured) with the link to troubleshoot.

Find your schemas quicker by typing in the database and schema name separated by dots — for example, database.schema. This way, you can continue to find your SQL assets faster by typing in the database and schema before the asset title like database.schema.table or schema.table. You can also match on the qualified name of the asset by typing in the qualified name enclosed within double quotes!

Power your discovery experience with a more powerful dot notation search! And as you try it out, let us know what you think.
