Atlan now supports adding tags to your columns directly from Google Sheets! As tag management becomes increasingly important for data teams, we’ve added the flexibility of bulk tag management from spreadsheets.

Use the Atlan add-on for Google Sheets to:

• Import column metadata for any asset in Atlan to Google Sheets.
• Add tags to your columns in bulk directly from Google Sheets — the tag must already exist in Atlan, tag name match will be case-sensitive, and separate multiple tags with commas.
• Push the tag updates back to Atlan, and you're done!

If there are any invalid tags or typos in the tag name, changes will not be synced and you'll receive a warning popup on your spreadsheet. Stay tuned for more updates on tag management and spreadsheet integrations! 😉

We have revamped our group mapping sync capabilities to ensure that SSO group mappings are triggered every time a user authenticates in Atlan. This will enable groups in the SSO provider to sync consistently with the mapped groups in Atlan.

For example, if a user in Atlan is added to a new group or removed from an existing one in the SSO provider, the updates will also be reflected in Atlan. To ensure that changes are synced to Atlan:

• The groups that a user belongs to in the SSO provider should be mapped to Atlan.
• If a group name changes in the SSO provider, you will need to update the group name in Atlan as well.
• A user may need to log out and then log into Atlan again to view the changes.

With enhanced group mapping sync, users will always have the right access to the right data!

Atlan now supports creating webhooks! Webhooks allow you to monitor events happening in Atlan, receive notifications to a URL of your choice, and take action immediately.

Users will now receive Slack notifications when requests are raised in Atlan — and wait for it — approve or reject it directly from Slack!

✨ Let's dig deeper

When a user raises a metadata update request, they usually have to wait for an admin to approve or reject it. There is often a broken feedback loop here — with the admin user not knowing about the request right away while the one who raised it keeps waiting...

Let's change that! With request notifications sent over DM:

• Any user who has access to the asset will receive a notification in Slack when a request is raised for a metadata update.
• If multiple users receive a request notification, any one user with the requisite permissions can take action and the status of the request will be displayed to the rest — no further action required.
• Enabling request notifications is as easy as toggling on the option in your Slack integration settings, and start receiving them right now!

👏 Give it a shot

Simplify your workflows with direct request notifications from Atlan in Slack!

Admin users in Atlan can now enable discovery and tracking of process assets for their users. Process assets will be hidden on the assets page and reporting center by default — ensuring a more focused search experience.

✨ Let's dig deeper

Here's what this means for you and your teams:

• Flexibility for data teams — depending on the needs of the organization, admin users can turn on or off the discovery and tracking of process assets from Labs in the admin center. 
• Streamlined search and discovery — with process assets hidden on the assets page and reporting center by default, curate a more efficient asset search and discovery experience for your users.
• Process it elsewhere — even if the discovery of process assets is turned off, users will still be able to view process assets on the lineage graph and asset sidebar.

👏 Give it a shot

Whether you say aye or nay to process asset discovery, you can create a more customizable experience for your data teams in Atlan. Try it out and let us know what you think!

Synapse Analytics is an integrated platform service from Microsoft Azure that combines the capabilities of data warehousing, data integrations, ETL pipelines, and analytics tools.

• Ability to configure this as a connector from the Atlan marketplace.
• Discover Azure Synapse assets (databases, schemas, tables, and columns) in Atlan.
• Preview tables through Sample Data
• Write queries on Synapse Analytics through Insights.

Sigma is a cloud analytics platform that uses a familiar spreadsheet interface to give business users instant access to explore and get insights from their cloud data warehouse. At Atlan we are always looking to support more use cases from more sources, giving data teams the context they need across their entire data estate.

With this new Sigma connector, users can:

• Discover all of their Sigma assets (workbooks, workbook pages, data elements, data element fields, datasets, and dataset columns) in Atlan.
• Gain visibility into column-level lineage from Sigma datasets, elements, and workbooks back to the data source to solve use cases like root cause analysis.
• Open a related Sigma workbook directly from inside Atlan for quick access and analysis.

This integration also surfaces SQL queries associated with Sigma Data Elements into Atlan as metadata.  This allows users to edit and tweak that same SQL query using Atlan Insights to fit their own use cases. From there, the query can then be saved in Atlan as an asset and leveraged in the future for other needs.

As a leading data cloud provider for the modern data stack, Snowflake plays a key role for thousands of companies in managing their data. As a long-time Snowflake partner, we understand that as organizations' use of the Snowflake platform grows, so too do their metadata and lineage needs.

That is why we are expanding our support to include Snowflake streams and pipelines. With this update, Snowflake workflow runs will now ingest streams and pipelines, capturing end-to-end lineage. This new lineage capability with Snowflake assets will further improve visibility for use cases like root cause analysis and impact analysis.
