Custom Attributes with 1 to Many relationship
Hi All, I am looking to enhance an asset (report) by adding custom metadata fields, such as subscription details. However, each report can have multiple subscriptions, creating a one-to-many relationship. Since managed attributes do not support this, what is the recommended approach to address this in Purview?Data product search is broken: no results for partial terms
Searching for data products using partial terms returns zero results, despite the existence of data products with matching names. For example, searching for 'risk' yields no results even though we have three data products that have 'riskscores' in their names. I have created a support ticket, and was told that the PG has stated this behavior was by design. I just can't wrap my head around this statement. Search is the reason why data catalog tools are popular and help democratize data, and this type of searching doesn’t really help to make the data products discoverable. A feature request was created (3135) but I was also asked to post here for visibility. Here's some proof:
Cannot see Data Map and Unified Catalog in the free version of Microsoft Purview
Hey, I am trying to setup a data connection in the free version of Microsoft Purview. However, I cannot see the Data Map and Unified Catalog features. Is this the intended limitation of the free version? Or do I miss something?
Guidance on Using Atlas API/Another method to Access External Catalogs via Purview
Hi everyone, I've been looking for documentation on how to use the Atlas API to extract information from external catalogs, but haven't had much luck so far. Could someone point me to examples or resources that show how this is implemented and made accessible to users through the Purview user experience? Thanks in advance! Best regards, PaulFeature request: Get rid of "Welcome to new Microsoft Purview portal" screen
Any new user of Purview DGS will be shown this screen: I strongly believe this should be an admin led tenant-wide decision, and not an 'any new user on it's own decision'. The screen is confusing and completely unnecessary for new users with "Global Catalog Reader" permissions only. The problem with this screen is that it results in some users landing in the classic portal, while all documentation and training materials that we share are based on the new portal. My suggestions would be to move this option to 'settings'. After all, as Microsoft, you want your users to use the new portal too, right? P.S. in the meantime, please get rid of the homepage and move all that under a 'getting started' page: Catalog homepage improvements are urgently needed | Microsoft Community HubCatalog homepage improvements are urgently needed
Hi Microsoft, Since this page for Purview DGS has opened, I though I'd start a discussion and provide some user feedback on the UX. Let's be honest: it is confusing for end users, and annoying for admins: Users navigate to the catalog to find data, but end up on a homepage that tells them how to set up a catalog. Trust me on this: they don't care, and neither do I after having set up the catalog already. Users do however see a search bar, which they will use. The 'search' bar on the homepage does not search for data assets or data products, but for Microsoft documentation. Users get stuck here, without ever finding data. The current set up of the homepage makes it totally feel like some preview/demo environment. This lint search bar persists throughout the application, leading to more confusion on data product or data assets search (as there are now two search bars), or within the page of a data product itself (where the search bar persists in the lint, but follow-up search actions using this search bar result in nothing helpful). I'd suggest removing this lint search option entirely, and bringing the 'discovery' search options to the homepage. Bonus points if the homepage becomes customizable (e.g. like a SharePoint page) so we can point our users to company specific documentation to help them get started. I thought this feature was promised in the previous roadmap, but unfortunately it seems to be deleted in the most recent publication. A better homepage will greatly aid user adoption.Dispositions Orphaned ?
We setup retentionlabels with a disposition. All was working properly except some B2B could not finalize the disposition. During testing one of the engineers accidently removed the mail enabled security group and after that we could not see anything anymore. We re-created the group with same emailadress (slightly different name we corrected a typo) and this was automatically picked up by the labels. We however do still not see any dispositions. Even with the complaince admin , global admin with recordmanagement role and having the high level role for dispositions. My assumption is the item ~450 docs are no in a twilight zone but not sure how to get them back. Ticket is logged with microsoft but allready running for 50 days without a resolution. Any tips would be really helpfull we setup a few tenants for testing allthough we have to wait for all to be provisioned.
Building a ChatGPT like app on top of Purview catalog data
We've started experimenting with the Purview catalog and added some governance domains and data products. This helps us build up a rich source of meta data especially when linked with the glossaries and data assets. However, what we really want to get to is a solution where users can ask a question based on their objective and get told which report to run / website to access etc, like you would do with ChatGPT. The Purview CoPilot seems to be focussed on security as far as I can tell. I've got an idea that this can be achieved by using the Atlas APIs (confirmed by ChatGPT) but was wondering if this is something anyone else has done, if there is a sample app out there anywhere, or just if there's a better way of achieving our objective?
Challenges adding large numbers of assets to a Data Product in Unified Catalog
The client's needs oblige us to add the tables from a SQL database into the data product; they've also got a use case for a massive file share. We are hitting a wall in finding a programmatic solution to bring these data map assets into the Product, and the portal fails when trying to add more than 100 objects at a time. Looking for a timeline for the release of APIs and tools to address this?
