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.

Atlan now supports nested columns for Google BigQuery and AWS Glue to help you document your semi-structured data types. Data can often be chaotic, so Atlan takes its job seriously to ensure complete clarity for you and your teams. 

Here's how this can help you do more with your data assets:

• Improved readability — nested columns for Google BigQuery are now more readable, thanks to parsed data types.
• Document with ease — enrich your nested columns for Google BigQuery and AWS Glue right from the asset sidebar.

Atlan currently does not support search and discovery for nested columns, so stay tuned for more updates!

🎉 What's new

Atlan now highlights keywords in asset search results! Ever wondered why a specific asset is showing up in the search results? Mystery solved — when you do a keyword search, the keywords in the matching search results will be highlighted for quick recognition.

Here's what you need to know:

• Instant clarity — if a term or a description matches the searched keyword, it will be highlighted on the asset card.
• Power-packed precision — even if your keyword contains an underscore or a period, for example, instacart_order or instacart.order, both keywords will be highlighted across all search results.
