Managing field-level metadata

Field profiling helps data analysts and business users gain insights faster. They can view and visualize valuable field profile metrics at-a-glance, without needing to create an app first. Field-level metadata lets users apply aliases, descriptions, and classifications to fields; these features assist with identifying specific data and sensitive fields. Editable metadata fields include Field Alias, Description, Tags, Classification.

Exporting and importing data projects

You can now export a data project to a file that contains everything required to reconstruct the data project. The exported JSON file can be imported on the same tenant, or on another tenant. You can use this, for example, to move data projects from one tenant to another, or to make backup copies of data projects.

Capture and share Insight Advisor usage feedback with app owners

Users with the Audit Admin user role can access app usage metrics and user feedback. These metrics are accessed as events. This allows the Audit Admin to make improvements, either to the app itself or to its business logic, based on how users interact with Insight Advisor.
