Browser Extension

The browser extension integrates OvalEdge with supported web-based applications, allowing users to access data catalog objects, view glossary terms, open saved bookmarks, report data issues, and validate certifications for tables or reports.

The OvalEdge browser extension is compatible with Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers only.

Key Features:

• Explore Data Catalog and Glossary Terms: Users can search and view data catalog objects (e.g., tables, reports) and glossary terms directly within their browser.

  • Example: If a user is reading a report on a data analytics platform, they can instantly search for related glossary terms or data objects in OvalEdge without switching between applications.

• Navigate Saved Bookmarks: The extension allows users to bookmark important pages or objects within OvalEdge for quick access.

  • Example: If a user frequently refers to a report about sales data, they can save it as a bookmark within the browser extension for easy access in the future.

• Report Issues on Data Objects: If a user encounters an issue with a data object, such as outdated or incorrect information, they can report it directly from the extension.

  • Example: If a user notices a discrepancy in a financial report, they can submit a data quality issue through the extension, providing the relevant details and context.

• Certification Validation: The extension helps validate the certification status of tables or reports.

  • Example: If a user is working with a report in Power BI, they can check its certification status—whether it is approved, under review, or needs improvement—directly within the application where they are viewing the data.
