      Improvements

      • Data Catalog
        • In the  Data Catalog module > specific object detailed page > clicking upon the Lineage tab (upon crawling is done and lineage is built), hovering on to a specific object in the lineage page > three dots(…) with Copy to Clipboard and View Association options are clickable and highlighted in blue color.
        • In the Data Catalog module, when the user associates any tags/terms governance roles are updated only on Tables/Files/Reports and updates on the Table Column/File Column/Reports Column. When a user updates the governance roles on the Tables/Files/Reports, the respective columns should update.
      • Dashboard
        • The Data Lineage main page is now provided with a header title in the top left of the page.
        • In the Dashboard > Favorite Reports > a search filter is integrated with the top right of the page to search from All reports.
      • Governance Catalog
        • Servicedesk
          • When a user creates a new Service Desk request for getting access to the schema. In the service request template, the users select a schema from the dropdown and now the system displays the schema list as ‘connection name. schema name’. For example. SQL Server is the name of the connection, and dbo is the name of the schema, it displays as “sqlserver.dbo”.
          • The Servicedesk home page displays the list of Waiting, My Request, and All Request for service requests raised, and on the main page, it displays the summary with a clickable option that will navigate to the service request templates.
      • Advanced Tools
        In the Log Viewer Page, add Session-Id, Request Id, and User Id column fields are added. In All Logs, a Clear Logs button is enabled to keep 10k logs and remove the rest from the table entries.
      • Administration 
        • Crawler 
          • From the Crawler setting page, the profiler tab has been removed for the Reporting & File types connectors.
            • Reporting connector: Power BI, Tableau, SSRS SQL,  SISENSE, Microstrategy, Looker.
            • File Connectors: NFS, S3, Azure Data lake, SFTP, Google Drive Connector, GCS Google Cloud Storage, HDFS Kerberos, HDFS non-Kerberos, DSEFS Connector.
          • In the Crawler page, the crawl/profile page is enhanced with the Schedule feature with date & time. The user can schedule the crawl time by providing the information such as Date, time, and frequency of crawling as month/year/week/day.
          • In the Job Workflow page, at the time of adding a new job, the user can schedule the crawling time for multiple jobs in a single run. 
        • Users & Roles
          The roles page is enhanced with a column ‘Created on’ to show when a user role is created and ‘Updated on’ to display the date when details of any users were last updated. The Created Date column provides the date on which the Role (Eg: OE_ADMIN, OE_PUBLIC, OE_CSM) is created and the Last Updated column provides the date on which update is recently done in the Roles.
        • Manage Servicedesk
          In the Manage Service Desk, when the user edits the service desk template, the name of the template selected is displayed at the top of the template.
