Coming to you with a couple of usability improvements to your lineage experience:

• Atlan will now display the bucket in which your objects are stored in the lineage sidebar. This is applicable for your S3 and GCS assets.
• You can now easily navigate to the pipeline graphs for your Apache Airflow DAGs and Apache Spark jobs from asset discovery! Simply click the lineage icon on the asset preview card or navigate to the sidebar to view the pipeline graph.

🎉 What's new

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.

🎉 What's new

Atlan now supports displaying groups for your Apache Airflow tasks on the pipeline graph. Task groups help you logically group tasks in Apache Airflow. This release provides additional context for your Apache Airflow assets in Atlan. Supported for all Apache Airflow distributions — Apache Airflow, Amazon MWAA, Astronomer, and Google Cloud Composer.

Additionally, clicking on an asset in the pipeline graph now updates the asset sidebar to give you all the context you need.

🎉 What's new

Announcing two small but mighty enhancements to improve your lineage experience in Atlan:

• You can now find specific columns on the lineage graph using the Column filter in the search menu.
• Partial assets are now visible in the asset sidebar when viewing the pipeline graph. Get more context on the inputs and outputs for your Apache Airflow tasks and Apache Spark jobs.

Following up on the recent release of dbt column-level lineage, announcing some improvements to your experience of dbt materialized asset lineage:

• View lineage for all materialized tables — previously, lineage was shown for any one of the dbt materialized tables and missing for other tables. In addition, for each dbt workflow run, it would keep switching between the different materialized tables. Atlan will now display lineage for all dbt materialized tables.
• Materialized lineage will be grouped by jobs — previously, materialized lineage was grouped at the environment level, resulting in a mix of assets from different environments. Say bye bye to that! Lineage for materialized tables will now be grouped by jobs.
• All materialized tables linked to a given model and source — better understand your dbt materialized asset lineage with materialized assets linked to dbt models and sources.
• Upstream lineage to dbt source tables — view dbt source tables in materialized lineage.
