Introducing the option to share your queries while saving them in Insights!

Did you just write the most insightful query in Atlan? Well, save it and let your team know! While you're saving the query, here are all the cool new things you can do now:

• Share your queries directly while saving them.
• Copy the link to your saved query or share directly on Slack or Microsoft Teams.
• Add or edit users from your query collection as you save your queries.

Share your saved queries with ease, and stay tuned for more upcoming enhancements!

🎉 What's new

Two new visual enhancements to the lineage graph coming your way — a home icon to represent the originating asset and an Expand all option for a comprehensive view of upstream and downstream asset lineage.

These enhancements can help you better navigate the lineage graph and reduce the number of clicks required to view upstream or downstream assets.

For example, imagine that you're working with a data pipeline that involves many different nodes. You will be able to use the Expand all option to quickly see the entire path from the selected node to the leaf node — no need to click each intermediate node! Then, use the home icon to find your way back to where you started.

🎉 What's new

We are excited to announce that Atlan now supports streaming query results. When querying in Insights, query results will arrive in batches as soon as they are fetched from the source. This means you no longer have to wait for the query run to be completed to view results!

Why should you be excited?

• Streaming query results can help fetch data faster from the source.
• Results will be shown in batches — get the popcorn ready!
• You can also cancel the query as the results are streaming in if you accidentally started it — giving you more control.

👏 Give it a shot

Ever experienced long wait times for query results? This one's for you! With streaming query results, get helpful insights more quickly in Atlan.

🎉 What's new

Introducing the new Schedules tab for your saved queries in Atlan! Insights users will now be able to monitor and manage schedules for their saved queries using this new tab.

As an admin user or a data steward in your organization, reducing duplicate or redundant schedules for queries is critical to preventing high compute costs. The new Schedules tab in Insights can help, allowing you to view schedules for saved queries all in one place and manage them more effectively.

🎉 What's new

We’re excited to announce that users can now move queries between query collections in Insights with just a few clicks!

✨ Let's dig deeper

This enhancement solves a longstanding issue of not being able to move queries between collections. If you either had to recreate or duplicate an existing query and then save it in another collection, we understand your pain. Now, you can simply move queries from one collection to another with just a few clicks.

For example, if you have a personal query collection for your draft queries and you would like to share some of those queries with your team, you can now move the query to a shared collection in Insights. This can help you collaborate with your team easily and share insights faster. 

👏 Give it a shot

Move your queries to the query collection you need seamlessly. Feel free to share your feedback with us, too!

🎉 What's new

We are excited to announce that usage and popularity metrics are now available in Insights for your Snowflake and Google BigQuery assets!

With the availability of usage and popularity metrics in Insights, you can:

• View these metrics for your assets in the schema explorer and easily identify the most relevant asset for your queries.
• Gain usage context for your assets right from the query editor as you draft your queries.
• Enhance your query-writing process based on autosuggestions for the most or least popular assets.

👏 Give it a shot

To get the most out of your queries, explore usage and popularity metrics in Insights. Try it out and let us know what you think!

Atlan Insights brings two enhancements to the SQL editor that will improve the query management experience.

Pause scheduled queries

Users will have the ability to pause a scheduled trigger from executing till the underlying query is updated and approved.  This will prevent stale results from being sent. It will also reduce data costs as frequently scheduled queries will not run till the underlying query is fixed and the schedule is resumed.

Run scheduled queries anytime

Users will have the ability to run a scheduled query anytime using the “Run Now” option. This will be useful in cases where a scheduled run did not execute and teams will not have to wait till the next trigger is executed.

Organizations are always looking for how to get the most out of their data while controlling costs. Often, they don’t know which data assets they can trust, which have fresh data, which are most often used, and which can be eliminated.

We’ve added new usage and popularity metrics to help data teams manage their Snowflake assets. Use these new metrics to save cloud data warehouse spending costs by identifying the most used assets, finding people with the most context on each data asset, and more.

These new capabilities include.

• Sort by popularity: Sort search results on the Asset page using the Most Popular / Least Popular sort options.
• Popularity indicator and popover: Every Snowflake table, view, or column with query history in the last 30 days will have a popularity indicator on the search card.
• Asset profile usage metadata: For any table or view with usage metadata, use the Profile page to discover the most popular or least popular columns.
• Usage tab: Accessible in the sidebar, this contains the most important usage metadata for the asset such as Top Users, Recent Users, and which queries are Popular, Slow, or Expensive. 
• Work with popular, slow, or expensive queries directly in Insights: Start working with any popular query, slow, or expensive query directly in the Insights Query Editor.
• Usage filters: Discover assets using powerful filters based on the number of queries or users, the last time it was queried, the last row updated, and total compute cost.

Who doesn’t love to query data? But what happens when the results are in the wrong order, or you forget to write a sort command in your SQL? Or what if you simply can’t find an item in the results that you're looking for? At Atlan, we never miss a chance to enhance our customers’ user experience.

Now, with just the click of a button, you can sort the data columns in either ascending or descending order. You can also use the search bar to find an item you want and get the results you need. These two capabilities can limit the need to write more SQL in the future and reduce the number of queries needed to get the right results.

Currently, Sort supports NUMBER, TEXT, and BOOLEAN data types, and support for other types is coming soon.

Disseminating tribal knowledge across the organization is critical for the success and consistency of your data users.  That’s why it’s important to empower the right users in the right environment to help capture this knowledge.

Previously, users with edit access were unable to invite users or update the query collection. This meant that sharing collections was impossible if the query owner leaves or becomes unreachable.

With this release, users who have access to edit a query collection now have more capabilities. While the collection owner still holds the only authority to delete a collection, other members can now invite, update, and manage the collection. All of this ensures that tribal knowledge is captured and maintained even if the query owner leaves or is unavailable.
