What's New

The release of these features in Empower v1.17 is a step forward in refining key functionalities that drive business value. Designed with the user experience and workflow efficiencies in mind, this update aims to offer an improved interface, simplified data management, and greater control over data publishing.

  • Metadata Catalog Performance: UX users will now enjoy a faster experience when navigating the Metadata Catalog for particularly large sources (sources with 1000+ objects). With the introduction of pagination in this release, users can navigate their source metadata with ease as additional objects are loaded as the users steps through the catalog in the UI. This feature directly contributes to enhanced productivity and operational efficiency for your enterprise.
  • Enhanced CRUD Capabilities: In addition to full CRUD on key StateDB tables, Advanced UX users can now perform bulk delete operations - which reduces multi-record deletions to a single click! By simplifying this often-repetitive task, companies can redirect man-hours to more strategic activities, thus optimizing workflow and increasing productivity.
  • Data Publishing to SQL Server: Users can now configure Empower to write tables to SQL Servers as part of their modern data estate. Data can be scheduled to be published after ingestion from other sources, upon model build completion, as well as through a regularly scheduled cadence (i.e. every weekday at 5PM)! By offering more control over data publishing schedules, companies can better align their data operations with business objectives, making data integration seamless and more strategically aligned with company goals.

Understanding that efficiency and control over data are critical to business success, this release delivers practical, impactful tools that significantly upgrade operations. The features in Empower v1.17 go beyond minor adjustments; they are carefully planned enhancements designed to boost operational efficiency and provide more effective control over data assets.

User Impacts

  • Data Publishing to SQL Server is data platform-only feature for release 1.17. This feature will be made available in the Empower UI in a subsequent release.
