Tableau Enhancements for Deeper Visibility & Control

🎉 What’s New

This release brings a powerful set of upgrades to Atlan's Tableau integration, helping you unlock deeper insights, richer lineage, and greater control over metadata workflows:

✨ Let’s Dig Deeper

  • Embedded Dashboard Discovery: Discover embedded Tableau dashboards as first-class assets. Understand how they’re connected to upstream data and where they’re being used.
  • End-to-End Column Lineage: Column-level lineage now spans from your Tableau DataSources through Worksheets and into Dashboards, offering a complete picture for impact analysis, troubleshooting, and trust.
  • Smarter Custom SQL Lineage: We now detect tables even within nested subqueries, providing a deeper understanding of your Tableau logic and ensuring your lineage graphs are accurate and complete.
  • Hierarchical Filters for Playbooks: New hierarchical filtering in playbooks means less manual work:
    • Select a full folder to auto-include all assets inside it
    • Or zoom in on specific sub-folders when needed
    • Great for keeping automation organized and scalable
  • Secure Agent Support: Need to connect to a Tableau server behind a firewall or in an on-prem environment? Atlan Secure Agent makes it possible, ensuring secure, seamless metadata extraction without exposing internal systems.
  • Seamless Metadata Access in Tableau: Stay in flow: now you can access column descriptions, owners, and data classifications directly within Tableau, embedded into your dashboards and sources. Just click, no tab switching required.

Supercharged Databricks Connector: System Tables + Incremental Syncs

🎉 What’s New

We’re excited to roll out System Table-Based Extraction and Incremental Extraction for Databricks System Tables in Atlan!

These upgrades deliver:

  • Faster, more accurate metadata extraction
  • Optimized performance for large-scale Databricks environments
  • Incremental syncs that keep metadata fresh without hitting performance bottlenecks

✨ Let’s Dig Deeper

1. System Table-Based Extraction

Atlan now supports metadata extraction directly from Databricks system tables.
This enhancement allows for deeper and more accurate visibility into your environment, especially beneficial for enterprises with vast data estates.

  • Native integration for improved accuracy
  • Comprehensive coverage of complex schema and lineage
  • Faster extraction using Databricks' own metadata backbone

2. Incremental Extraction for System Tables

No more full crawls every time. With incremental extraction, Atlan intelligently identifies and syncs only the changed objects, such as new or modified tables.

Why It Matters:

  • Faster Metadata Refresh: Your metadata stays up-to-date
  • Reduced Load on Databricks: Avoid full scans, save on compute and cost
  • Improved Accuracy & Coverage: Enriches metadata for advanced governance and discovery
  • Scalability: Ideal for organizations managing thousands of tables or frequently changing pipelines

Conditional Branching in Governance Workflows

Govern with precision, automate with flexibility! You can now dynamically route requests within your governance workflows based on metadata changes or entity destinations—enabling organizations to mirror their internal processes with tailored logic and conditional approvals.

🎉 What’s New

Conditional Branching is now live — enabling dynamic routing in governance workflows based on conditions. It’s available in:

  • Change Management Template: Trigger branches based on what metadata is modified.
  • New Entity Creation Template: Route requests for terms, categories, or data products based on creation context.

✨ Let’s Dig Deeper

Conditional Branching adds powerful logic to governance workflows. Here’s how each template works:

Change Management Template

  • Create branches based on modified attributes (e.g., Name, Owners, Tags, Custom Metadata).
  • Each branch supports:
    • Multiple OR-based conditions
    • Independent approvers and approval strategies
  • A fallback path ensures unmatched changes are still handled (and allows for non-governed change exclusions).

New Entity Creation Template

  • Branch logic depends on where the entity is being created — glossary, category, or domain.
  • Each path can:
    • Use its own request form
    • Collect contextual inputs
    • Define separate approvers
  • Includes a fallback for unmatched requests.

🌱 What’s Coming Next

Planned enhancements will bring even greater control with:

  • Attribute Value-Based Logic
    Route based on what a value is changing to (e.g., Certification set to “Verified”).
  • User/Group-Based Logic
    Customize branches based on who is initiating the change.
  • Custom Field-Based Logic
    Use form values (e.g., criticality, request purpose) to influence workflow routing.

👏 Give It a Shot

Try Conditional Branching today with either template. Build flexible, intelligent approval flows tailored to your governance needs.

Multi-Action Access Management

Govern smarter, automate deeper! You can now configure multiple actions to be triggered in your Access Management workflows, unlocking richer automation and control for data access at scale.

🎉 What’s New

Previously, Access Management workflows supported only one action post-approval- typically to grant or revoke access. But governance teams often need to:

  • Raise JIRA/ServiceNow tickets
  • Notify internal systems via webhooks
  • Combine multiple downstream processes

With Multi-Action Access Management, you're no longer constrained to one action, bringing flexibility and operational power to every access request.

✨ Let’s Dig Deeper

Trigger Multiple Actions on Access & Revoke Requests
Configure multiple sequential actions in your Access Management workflow template, for both:

  • ✅ Access Requests: Actions trigger after approval
  • 🚫 Revoke Requests: Actions trigger immediately when initiated (no approval step)

Supported actions include:

  • Grant/Revoke access in Atlan
  • Trigger a webhook
  • Create a JIRA or ServiceNow ticket

💡 Note: More action types will be added soon!

🌱 What’s Coming Next

  • This feature is currently limited to Access Management workflows, but we’re working to support:

    • Additional workflow types (e.g., Metadata Updates, Ownership Changes)
    • An expanded list of action types

👏 Give it a Shot

Start configuring multiple automated actions in your Access Management workflows and reduce manual steps in your access governance process

Customize main navigation visibility with navigation display preferences

🎉 What's new

Introducing preferences to control the visibility of main navigation menu options in Atlan. This allows you to customize the main navigation items shown to specific user personas, thus completely abstracting away parts of the experience that won't be relevant for them.

✨ Let's dig deeper

When you open any persona today, you can head over to the "Preferences" tab in  the persona. Click on the "Navigation" option at the top of this page. You will see a new set of preferences showing the navigation items.

You can toggle any of the items on/off to show/hide that particular main navigation item for the users.

Your main navigation items will consist of-

  • Assets
  • Glossary
  • Insights (if you have this enabled)
  • Products (if you have this enabled)

Note- This impacts the pages you can choose from the custom landing options. If you do not have a main navigation item selected, you cannot choose it from the custom landing options.

👏 Give it a shot

Start customizing your users' main navigation experience today with main navigation preferences. And while you try this, let us know what you think!

Tag propagation - Downstream lineage only

🎉 What’s new

Atlan now supports a new tag propagation mode - lineage only 

✨ Let’s dig deeper

You can now propagate tags:

  • Hierarchy & lineage allows tag propagation to child and downstream assets.
  • Hierarchy only (no lineage) allows tag propagation to child assets only.
  • [new] Lineage only (no hierarchy) allows tag propagation to downstream assets only.
  • No propagation disables any tag propagation.
