February, 2025

We’re excited to introduce the Dawiso 2025.1 release! 🚀 This update brings a fresh set of enhancements designed to streamline your workflows, improve usability, and give you even greater control over your data.

This release includes new platform features, developer-focused updates, and API enhancements, making it easier to configure, visualize, and manage data more efficiently. Admins will find expanded options for package configurations, while users benefit from improved diagrams, dashboards, and streamlined navigation.

Starting with this release, we’ve also introduced a dedicated section for developers, consolidating all new package configurations in one place for easier access and implementation.

Let’s dive into what’s new!

New Features

Data Flow Parsing

Dawiso now supports SQL script parsing, enabling the automated recognition of relations between objects for data lineage generation in a cost-effective way. This feature is configured during the data source setup and helps track dependencies between objects.

For more information on this paid feature, contact our Customer Success team.

Query Transformation Functionality

When configuring a data source, you can now specify a query transformation in the new Optional Settings field. This allows for dynamic adjustments to queries based on predefined values.

Query transformations can access the following data source fields:

  • optionalSettings.dictionary: Users can define key-value pairs to be referenced in transformations.

    "dictionary":{ "schemas": "dbo, system, api", "databases": "Alpha, Bravo" }

  • datasource: Users can reference values directly from data source properties, which will vary by provider.

    datasource.databases

  • optionalSettings: Users can reference values from optional settings in the data source configuration.

{ “databases”: “Alpha, Bravo” } ```

Platform Enhancements and Optimizations

Create Button in Top Navigation Bar

A new Create button has been added to the top navigation bar, enabling quick object creation.

The button is context-aware, automatically filling fields like space, app, and parent object based on your current location in Dawiso.

Diagrams: Unlimited Relations Display

The previous hard limit on the number of displayed relations has been removed. Now, the number of relations you can visualize depends on your device’s capabilities and connection strength, allowing for more flexible and detailed lineage exploration.

New Dashboards

We’re introducing four new dashboards with expanded statistics and insights: Dawiso Overview, My Objects, Adoption Dashboard, and Assets Metrics Dashboard.

Dawiso Overview

A comprehensive snapshot of your Dawiso instance, including total objects, users, and spaces. It also tracks the most searched terms, object statuses, object types, and recent activity.

My Objects

A personalized view of your activity, displaying objects where you are a steward or owner, along with object statuses, types, and a list of your managed objects.

Adoption Dashboard

Insights into user engagement, including the number of active users, power users (those who visited at least 100 pages in the last month), and frequently searched terms. It also highlights the most visited objects over time and the most active users.

Assets Metrics Dashboard

A structured view of business and technical assets, including statistics on business assets, technical objects, documentation, reports, and dashboards. It also tracks asset creation trends over time.

New Public API Endpoints

We’ve expanded our public API with new endpoints for enhanced data access and integration. For full details, refer to our API documentation.

Refined Notifications

The notification badge in the top navigation bar now displays 9+ when there are many notifications, instead of showing an exact count. This keeps your UI cleaner while still indicating the presence of unopened notifications.

Redesigned Object Detail View

The Object Detail window has been restructured to improve clarity, now featuring three tabs: Details, Objects, and Relations. This new layout ensures quick access to key information while maintaining a clear and intuitive interface.

New Packages Configurations

This section is primarily for admins who can manage packages.

Custom Set of Default Attribute Values

A new attribute type now supports a preset list of values. This is different from codetable labels, which allow object types to be selected as labels.

Diagrams: Default Display

Diagrams now automatically display the object, its child objects, and both incoming and outgoing flows of those child objects.

Predefined List of Colors

A new set of preconfigured colors is available for package configuration. Using these predefined colors ensures consistency across devices and updates. Find them under Settings > Configuration > Colors.

Tooltip Descriptions

The ability to configure tooltips using the "tooltipKey": "translationKey" property has been added to additional components on the object type page.

  • Previously available for: attributes, relations, and user relations.
  • Now also available for: columns, panels, section titles, and tabs.

Bug Fixes

  • An issue where switching between diagram types could leave an unclosable window has been fixed.
