Release Notes 10.3

Column-level data lineage

Dataedo from version 10.3 allows you to not only configure lineage on the object level but also to go deeper and define flows on a column level. You can set column-level flows by enabling column-level lineage and setting inflow and correspondent outflow columns.

Additionally, you can now browse diagrams from both the Web and Desktop.

Redesigned Data Classification

We redesigned Data Classification and improved performance or algorithms. You can now classify only a portion of the Data Catalog and configure classification to match your needs.

We also added a few built-in classifications, so that the current list contains:

• CCPA - California Consumer Privacy Act
• FERPA - Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
• GDPR - finds columns potentially holding personal data as defined by European GDPR
• HIPAA - Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
• PCI - Payment Card Industry
• PII - finds columns PII (Personally Identifiable Information)
