Platform Updates

Metadata Management Improvements

With this release we are introducing new functionality that improves the way administrators on the platform can display metadata for an asset, increase metadata completeness, and improve metadata hygiene. Enhancements include:

• Re-ordering of metadata fields and field-sets in a metadata template. This will enable administrators to display their metadata fields and field-sets in a more logical way on the Overview Page without having to create entirely new fields and field-sets.
• Derived view metadata inheritance is now a domain wide configuration. This configuration is available to admin and others with access to a metadata template, allowing them to decide whether they want custom metadata field values to be inherited by child assets created off a given asset. Enabling this functionality improves the metadata hygiene of filtered views on the platform, making those assets more easily discoverable and enforcing more consistent best-practice use of metadata across the domain.

Updated Public Catalog Page Filters

Check out the sleek, new design for the filters on your Public Catalog page. While the functionality you've come to rely on remains unchanged (with the exception of adding a quick search the Tags filter), we've revamped the look to bring you a more modern and streamlined experience. And this is just the beginning! The redesigned filters are the first step towards a complete visual overhaul of the entire Public Catalog page. Stay tuned for more exciting updates later this year as we continue to enhance and modernize the data browsing experience.

Embedded Scheduled Send

The Scheduled Send feature allows a user to receive a PDF of a story directly in their email inbox on a regular cadence. The new Embedded Scheduled Send feature allows users to create a Watch on a Story even if that story is embedded within a third-party application through an iFrame. This means users no longer need to be on the platform to create this watch. As long as the user has the correct permissions, they can do so from wherever they are.
