Release7.2.4.7240.806b9d6
21 November, 2025
Browser Extension
New & Improved
Display Governance Roles in Certification Pop-up
The Browser Extension now displays governance roles Owner, Steward, and Custodian in the certification pop-up for reports. When a user views a report’s certification details, the associated governance roles are shown, providing clear visibility into the stakeholders responsible for the certified report.
Data Catalog
New & Improved
Role-based Query Visibility
In the Lineage module, a security enhancement was implemented to restrict access to dataset query details for specified roles. This update addresses the requirement to prevent unauthorized roles from viewing or copying dataset queries during onboarding.
The following enhancements are included:
Query visibility is restricted for designated roles on the dataset lineage screen.
Access allowed only for roles with approved permissions.
Implementation completed after requirement review, governance alignment, approval, and validation.
Fixed
Special Character Validation for Titles
In Data Catalog | Objects summary grid view, an issue occurred in which updating a title triggered an error when the title already contained the same existing special characters. The system incorrectly applied validation even when no new special characters were added. This issue has been fixed, and the title can no longer be edited or updated with other new special characters.
Tooltip Visibility in Update Governance Roles for Files
In Data Catalog | Files | 9 Dots | Update Governance Roles, an issue occurred in which the complete Governance Roles tooltip, containing lengthy text with quotation marks, was not visible. This issue has been fixed, and the full tooltip now displays as expected.
Curated Power BI Descriptions Retained After Crawl
In Data Catalog | Reports, an issue occurred in which the curated business descriptions for Power BI reports were removed after a scheduled schema crawl. Although the descriptions were initially saved and recorded in the audit trails, they disappeared after crawling. This issue has been fixed, and curated business descriptions now remain intact after each crawl.
Mentions Now Correctly Linked to Object References
In Conversations, an issue occurred in which mentions created with “@” for tables or objects did not appear under the corresponding object’s References tab. This issue has been resolved, and mentions in Conversations now correctly create and display references under the respective object’s References tab.
Business Glossary
New & Improved
Tree View Enhancements
The Tree View now includes several improvements to enhance visibility and usability across Domains, Categories, Subcategories, and Terms.
Term Status Count: In the Resources section of Domains, Categories, and Subcategories, users can now view the exact count of Draft and Published Terms. Selecting the Draft or Published Terms icon opens the Global Search window, displaying the respective Terms.
Source Count Display: In the Additional Information section of Domains and the Term Details section of Terms, the system now displays the count of Authoritative and Originative sources.
Classification Count Display: In the Classifications section of Domains and Terms, users can view the number of objects classified under each classification value.
Section Renaming for Clarity: In the Term Summary, the Additional Information section has been renamed to Term Details to improve clarity and usability.
askEdgi
New & Improved
Sharing Capability for askEdgi Threads
A new Share Thread feature is introduced in the askEdgi conversation module to enable public viewing of analysis discussions in the Public Edition.
Share Modal Options: The share modal provides options to copy a generated link or share via supported platforms.
Unique Public Link Generation: Each share action generates a unique public link that presents the analysis in read-only mode.
Static Snapshot View: Viewers can access a static snapshot containing the prompts, responses, and visual summaries from the shared thread.
Non-Interactive Shared Page: The shared view is non-editable and non-executable, ensuring content integrity and data security.
Content Consistency: The shared snapshot remains unchanged, even if further updates occur in the original thread.
Source Information Display: The shared view includes a note about the analysis source and an option to continue the analysis after login.
Note: This feature is available only in the Public Edition in this release.
Workspace Stability and Performance
In the askEdgi Workspace module, performance controls and status visibility are enhanced to address scenarios where the workspace becomes unresponsive or loads slowly.
Key updates include
Expanded status panel with options to view logs, restart the workspace, and upgrade capacity.
Ability to review recent workspace actions and system messages through a logs view.
Restart option to recover the session while retaining uploaded files.
Upgrade option for increasing workspace capacity when limits are reached.
Visual indicators for connection and activity states to support clarity during workspace actions.
Download Option for Tabular Search Output
In the askEdgi search results module, a download capability is introduced for tabular outputs.
Key updates include
CSV download option for tabular results.
Row limit governed by the existing system configuration.
The download includes rows from the top of the results to the system-configured limit and remains active for twenty-four hours.
Change Management
In the askEdgi workspace, a folder structure has been introduced to organize objects and support workspace management.
The following changes are included:
Users can create and name folders to group related objects
Objects can be moved into or out of folders for logical organization
Drag and drop actions support arranging objects and folders
Folders and contents persist across sessions
Folders can be deleted with an option to retain or move contained objects
Bulk removal of objects and folders from the workspace is supported
Folder-level interactions support search, pinning behavior, and AI enrichment indicators
What Changed
Objects in the workspace can now be grouped and managed through a folder structure to improve organization and usability.
Affected Users: askEdgi workspace users
Projects
Change Management
In Projects | Project List View, deleting a parent object no longer automatically removes its child objects. Only the selected parent is deleted; child objects must be removed manually.
What ChangedIn Projects | Project List View, when a parent object, such as a Table, File, Report, or API, was deleted from a Project, all of its associated child objects (Table Columns, File Columns, Report Columns, or API Attributes) were automatically deleted along with it. This cascading deletion occurred without requiring separate confirmation, often leading to the unintended removal of child-level tasks. However, now deleting a parent object no longer automatically deletes its associated child objects. Only the selected parent object is removed from the project. If the child objects also need to be removed, they must be deleted individually by the user.
Affected Users: Project Members
Service Desk
Fixed
‘Forward To’ Button Now Works as per the Approval Order
In Service Desk, an issue occurred where the 'Forward To' button was enabled before it was the approver's turn, allowing subsequent approvers to skip previous approval levels. This issue has been fixed, and the 'Forward To' button now becomes active only when it is the approver's designated turn in the approval sequence.
Reports
New & Improved
Data Not Displayed When Using Filters with Spaces
In OvalEdge Reports, some reports, such as User Activity on the Data Catalog and Business Glossary, did not display any data when users applied filters that included spaces in their names (for example, “Data Owner”). This issue has now been resolved, and reports correctly display data even when filters contain spaces.
Data Quality
New & Improved
Inbox, Notifications, and Alerts
The Data Quality Notification inbox now supports horizontal scrolling, allowing users to view all columns in wide tables. Additionally, integer values in notification results are now displayed in the correct format, resolving issues where identifiers such as Customer ID and Account Number appeared as decimals or in scientific notation.
Data Quality Support for IBM DB2 AS/400 Connector
Data Quality (DQ) support has been added to the IBM DB2 AS/400 connector. With this enhancement, the connector now extracts and synchronizes metadata, integrates data lineage, and is fully compatible with the data quality rule engine. This also enables comprehensive data quality checks, including profiling, rule validation, and monitoring on AS/400 data sources, allowing data stewards to identify issues, reduce errors, and improve overall data reliability.
Data Quality Support for Google BigQuery Connector
Data Quality (DQ) support has been added to the Google BigQuery connector. With this enhancement, organizations can now leverage BigQuery’s native SQL capabilities to automate validation, cleansing, and monitoring of cloud data.
Fixed
Incorrect Display of Deviation or IQR in Anomaly Detection Settings
In the Data Anomaly Detection module, the selected algorithm (Deviation or IQR) was not displayed correctly in the user interface. When Deviation was configured in System Settings, the corresponding radio button in Crawler Settings > Anomaly Detection Settings (Global and Custom) was not enabled, though it was active. This issue is fixed. The Anomaly Detection Settings page now accurately reflects the configured algorithm, allowing the correct radio button (Deviation or IQR) based on the system configuration.
Change Management
Data Quality Rule (DQR) deletion no longer removes previously reported remediation values from the Remediation Center.
What ChangedIn the Data Quality Rule (DQR) module, deleting a rule earlier removed all associated remediation values from the Remediation Center.
In the current version, deleting a rule does not delete the remediation values that were already reported. If users want to remove these values, they must update their status manually in the Remediation Center. This change ensures that past remediation records remain available for traceability and audit purposes.
Affected Users: Administrators and Business Users
Query Sheet
Fixed
Fixed Numeric Formatting in Query Sheet and Data Quality Reports
In the Query Sheet and Data Quality Report, an issue occurred in which specific numeric values crawled from the source were displayed in an incorrect format, such as alphanumeric or scientific notation (e.g., “8.607E7”) rather than the standard numeric format. This formatting issue has been fixed, and numeric values now display correctly as integers.
Jobs
Fixed
Resolution for Jobs in HOLD Status
Jobs in HOLD status could not be stopped after a system upgrade. This issue is now resolved. Users can select and terminate jobs that remain in the HOLD status after an upgrade.
Application APIs
New & Improved
Independent Update of Business or Technical Description
The Column API now supports independent updates of the Business Description or Technical Description for table columns in the Data Catalog. Previously, the API required both fields to be provided, which caused errors when only one field needed updating. With this enhancement, users can now update either field individually, and an error is returned only if both fields are empty or missing.
Connectors
New & Improved
Connection Pooling for S3 Connector
Connection pooling has been introduced in the S3 connector to improve performance and optimize resource utilization.
The following enhancements are included:
The earlier process opened a new connection for each operation, which caused performance overhead.
A new Connection Pooling tab is now available under Administrator > Connectors > Settings.
Connection pooling enables connection reuse, reducing initialization time and improving overall efficiency.
The enhancement is applied to both bridge and non-bridge configurations.
The update ensures stable behavior with no impact on existing operations.
Users & Roles
Change Management
Dot Symbol in Team Naming Convention: Team names can now include the dot (“.”) symbol, supporting standard organizational naming formats.
