New Features
Business Studio
We are thrilled to introduce our new Data Steward UI. Business users can create a customized view of their data, by adding various cards and configuring them based on preference.
Data Validations
Users can now define validation rules in Schema Studio on the fields. These rules apply when editing data from data Studio or Business Studio. Pipelines do not enforce these rules yet.
Microsoft Excel Synapse
Microsoft Excel Synapse enables bidirectional synchronization between Syncari and Microsoft Excel workbooks stored in OneDrive or SharePoint. It allows users to read, write, and update spreadsheet data as structured entities within Syncari pipelines, making it easy to incorporate Excel-based data sources into unified data workflows without manual imports or exports. More details here.
Pipeline Lock/Unlock
When multiple users work on a pipeline, there are chances of overwriting each other's changes. To avoid such scenarios we've introduces the lock/unlock capability with expiry time. The Pipeline Lock/Unlock feature in Syncari allows authors to control pipeline execution by locking or unlocking specific pipelines. When a pipeline is locked, it prevents any modifications by others ensuring integrity during edits. The entity and field pipeline can be locked/unlocked independently.
Programmatic Merge
Merge studio now allows users to configure merge policies via code. This is especially helpful when there are hierarchies in the entities that need to be merged based on a condition. Read more here.
Google Address Verification
A new function has been added to the Function library - Google Address verification. Use this function to validate addresses. This is an add-on feature. Please reach out to support@syncari.com to get access.
Webhook Testing in Pipeline
Pipeline now supports running webhook synapse tests with a test payload! This simplifies pipeline testing without having to worry about posting a request externally.
Custom HTTP Action Logs
You can now see the logs for Custom HTTP Actions used in a pipeline. The logs include request payload, response, headers and additional information.
