Multiple selected files and folders can now be cataloged and profiled in a single workflow directly from the 9-Dots menu. **New actions include:** * Catalog * Catalog and Profile **Supported options include:** * Selected Items Only * Selected Item + Files * Selected Item + Subfolders * Selected Item + Subfolders & Files For actions involving subfolders, users can define a Folder Level to control how many hierarchy levels are processed. ## Impact Analysis ### New & Improved #### Corrected Last Updated By Field In the Impact Analysis Summary, the Last Updated By field was cleared whenever a user added or deleted a source object. As a result, the field appeared blank and did not indicate who made the latest update. With this improvement, the Last Updated By field is now updated correctly when source objects are added or deleted. Users can now clearly identify who performed the most recent change in the Impact Analysis Summary. ## Lineage ### New & Improved #### Lineage | AI-Augmented Lineage In the Lineage module, lineage extraction used deterministic parsing, which limited coverage for complex data transformations and increased turnaround time for supporting new lineage patterns. The functionality is now enhanced with AI-Augmented Lineage, which complements deterministic parsing with AI-driven intelligence to improve coverage for complex scenarios. **The following improvements have been implemented:** * Standard lineage parsing is executed first, and AI-based parsing is automatically invoked for unsupported or complex logic * Coverage is improved for complex pipelines, including complex transformations and scripting logic * Pseudonymization is applied to mask sensitive data before processing through AI models * Confidence-based merging is implemented where high-confidence results are auto-merged into lineage and lower-confidence outputs are flagged for manual review * Zero-deployment updates are supported to enable prompt and template enhancements without requiring product deployments * Connector-level enablement is provided to allow controlled rollout and phased adoption * Currently supported for RDBMS connectors and Power BI with initial focus on complex M-code scenarios. ## OvalEdge APIs ### New & Improved #### Delta Load Support for Data Quality Rules API The Data Quality Rules API has been enhanced to support more efficient incremental data retrieval. Previously, the /api/dataquality/getDQRules API returned the full dataset on every request and did not support filtering by update date, making delta loads difficult for integration and migration scenarios. With this improvement, the API now supports an updatedate parameter with timestamp precision, allowing users to retrieve only Data Quality rules modified on or after a specified date. Additional enhancements include improved response usability for downstream consumers and more efficient handling of incremental loads. *** Copyright © 2026, OvalEdge LLC, Peachtree Corners, GA, USA. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.ovaledge.com/release8.2/minor-release/release8.1/release-notes/advanced-tools.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
