In this monthly release, we added a few highly asked features. Please give it try and look forward to hearing your feedback.
Manage Business Rules (MDS Add-in for Excel)
In the Master Data Services Add-in for Excel you can manage Business Rules, such as creating and editing business rules. Business rules are used to validate data. For more information, see Manage Business Rules (MDS Add-in for Excel) .
Many-to-Many Relationships in Derived Hierarchies
You can now create a Derived Hierarchy that displays many-to-many relationships. A many-to-many relationship between two entities may be modeled through the use of a third entity that provides a mapping between them. The mapping entity is an entity that has two or more domain-based attributes referencing other entities.
For example, entity M has a domain-based attribute that references A and a domain-based attribute that references B. You can create a hierarchy from A to B using the mapping entity.
For more information, see Show Many-to-Many Relationships in Derived Hierarchies (Master Data Services)
Merge Conflicts
If you try to publish data that has been changed by another user, the publish will fail with a conflict error. To resolve this error, you can perform merge conflicts and republish the changes.
