API Table Enhancements
API Table Redesign
API tables have been redesigned with improved filters, pagination controls, sorting, and multi-edit support.
Column widths and page size for tables across Dawiso are remembered per user. Drag a column edge or adjust rows per page once — the setting persists across reloads, navigation, and re-logins. To return a table to its default column widths, use the reset button to the left of the pagination controls. Settings are stored in the browser; each device or browser maintains its own preferences independently.
At the bottom of the table, you can restore the default column widths and page size.
Interactive Workflows
API tables can act as interactive review forms. Users can make selections and trigger actions row by row, directly in the table, without navigating away. Related tables on the page refresh automatically after each action, and when an action fails, the exact pipeline error is shown instead of a generic notification. This is enabled by combining section title and API table components.
Excel Export
API tables on dashboard pages can be exported to Excel, making it easier to work with catalog data outside of Dawiso. Export can be enabled per table using the exportable property. For configuration details, see API table.
Empty State
API tables show an improved empty state when no data is available. The empty state size (compact, medium, or large) and message text can be configured per table. For configuration details, see API table.
Selectbox Column
API tables support a dropdown selector column type (customActionSelectBox). Options can be sourced from a codelist or defined manually. For configuration details, see columns (API table).
AI & LLM Support
AI-Generated Diagrams
Modeling diagrams can be generated automatically using AI. In the diagram’s action panel, click Generate with AI, enter a natural language description of what you want to model, and the diagram is created and ready to adjust. For more information, see Modeling diagrams.
AI Search
AI Search is an AI-powered search feature that lets you find information across your Dawiso environment using natural language. Instead of building search queries manually, you describe what you are looking for in plain language. Ask AI interprets your intent, searches across objects, attributes, and relations, and returns relevant results with context. This makes it faster to locate specific metadata, discover related objects, and get answers without navigating through multiple pages.
MCP Updates
MCP requires a Corporate or higher Dawiso licence. On the LLM side, ChatGPT requires a paid plan, and Claude requires a Pro or Max subscription.
OAuth authorization
- Dawiso MCP supports OAuth for faster and more secure authorization when setting up the connector in your environment. OAuth reduces the need for manual credential management and simplifies the setup process.
Space management
- AI agents can create, update, and delete spaces and applications in Dawiso, and list available icons and workflow states.
Attribute updates in one call
- The
update_objectaction supports updating attributes in a single call.
Batch translation creation
- A new
create_translations_batchaction creates translations in batches of up to 500 entries per call.
Lightweight Markdown responses
- MCP responses are lighter and formatted in Markdown, reducing token consumption and making them easier for AI agents to parse.
Automations
Triggers
Four new automation triggers are available:
- Concept created: Triggers when a new concept is created.
- Automation finished: Triggers when another automation rule completes.
- Object moved: Triggers on hierarchy changes when an object is moved.
- Bulk operation done: Triggers after bulk changes in API tables, such as workflow state changes, user relation changes, relation changes, and attribute changes.
In addition, existing event-based triggers (attribute, workflow state, or relation added) also fire when an import operation causes those changes.
For more information, see Triggers.
Stream
A new while stream type lets you repeatedly execute a sub-stream until a condition is met or a maximum of 100 iterations is reached. This is useful for propagating attribute flags through object hierarchies of unknown depth. For more information, see Stream.
A variable with working holidays is available for use in filters and streams.
Actions
The following automation actions extend what automations can do:
- Databricks writeback: Writes data back to Databricks. See Databricks writeback.
- Delete object and its children: Deletes an object along with all its child objects. See Delete object and its children.
- Move object and its children: Moves an object and all its child objects to a new location. See Move object and its children.
- Save stream configuration and its results: Saves the current stream configuration together with its output. See Save stream configuration.
- Sync data (attachment type categories): The Sync data action supports excluding specific attachment type categories from synchronization. Categories can be defined under packages configuration. For details, see Attachment Categories.
Automatic Failure Protection
Automation rules are automatically disabled after 3 consecutive failures. When the threshold is reached, the rule is disabled and must be re-enabled manually. The error is recorded in the task log as: “Circuit breaker tripped: the last 3 runs failed. The automation has been disabled and must be re-enabled manually.” The threshold can be adjusted in the environment configuration.
Dashboards
Page Permissions
Dashboard pages can be set as Private or Public, and access can be granted per user or group. Private pages are visible only to their creator. Public pages are visible to all users who have access to the space, with access levels of read or read and write.
Diagrams
Lineage Search
When expanding a lineage view, a search bar appears that lets you look up objects by incoming or outgoing direction. You can filter results to show only incoming or only outgoing objects, making it easier to trace specific paths in large lineage graphs.
Text Labels in Modeling Diagrams
Add text option was added to the action bar, allowing you to place standalone text labels anywhere on the modeling diagram canvas. For more information, see Modeling diagrams.
Import/Export Improvements
Import Templates
Import templates can be configured and managed centrally in Settings > Templates > Import templates. Define a template’s name, file pattern, application, and space. The parameters are saved so you can download the same template again at any time without reconfiguring. Download it, fill it in, then import via the application page. For more information, see Object import (Excel).
Export Document Versions
All Word document versions that changed within a specified date range can be exported and bundled into a single ZIP file. This option must be enabled per application by an administrator. For more information, see Object export (Excel, Word, PDF).
Word Export Templates
Word export templates support multiple table configurations within a single template. You can export data from a single object type into multiple tables, from specific object types into different tables, or from each object type into its own dedicated table.
Export Control
Applications can enable Export Control to restrict object exports. Users who are not members of the designated export control group are blocked from exporting objects flagged with that attribute. PDF and Word exports that include flagged objects also receive compliance annotations:
- A classification header on every page.
- An inline annotation per flagged chapter.
- A machine-readable
Export Control = Yesentry in document properties.
For more information, see Object export (Excel, Word, PDF).
Microsoft Information Protection
This LTS introduces Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) support. When MIP is enabled for an application, Word exports containing MIP-sensitive objects are automatically encrypted with a sensitivity label. The resulting file requires Microsoft 365 permissions to open. For more information, see Object export (Excel, Word, PDF).
New Components
Markdown
The Markdown component is available for creating and displaying rich, formatted content using Markdown syntax. The component exists alongside the rich-text editor, so you can choose the editing experience that fits your workflow.
Supported features include:
- Lists: Bulleted, numbered, and task list types. Multiple lines can be formatted into a list at once. Switching list types preserves existing text.
- Code blocks: Inline and fenced code blocks with a dedicated toolbar icon.
- Edit button: Reflects hover state, permission restrictions, and translated labels.
Date Component
Package templates support a conditional max-future-date limit on date attributes. When configured, the date picker blocks days beyond the active limit and saving is rejected if the date exceeds it. The allowed range is determined by the value of another attribute on the same record, so different records can have different limits based on their own data. For configuration details, see date component.
Embedded Application
The embeddedApplication component embeds any external web application, such as Power BI reports, directly into Dawiso pages using an iframe. The component can be placed in any page template or displayed as a dedicated full-screen page accessible via a fixed URL. For configuration details, see embedded application.
Packages
Attachment Type Categories
Attachment type categories can be created and assigned to attachments. Categories are useful for organizing attachments and for controlling which attachments are included or excluded during sync operations. For details, see Attachment Categories.
Forced Comments on Workflow State Change
Administrators can require comments when changing an object’s workflow state. When enabled, users must provide a comment before the state transition completes.
Object Type Contributor Restrictions
An object type setting prevents contributors from creating new objects. When this restriction is active, only admin and Space admin users can create objects of that type.
Optional Create as Concept
Object creation includes a concept option. You can create a new object and publish it directly, or optionally create a new anonymous concept instead.
Platform Improvements
External OAuth2 Authentication
Dawiso supports retrieving user information via an external OAuth2 provider for authentication. This enables SSO setups where user identity is managed by an external identity provider.
Ingestion Performance
Ingestion throughput is up to 85 times faster. Progress is logged at regular time intervals, making it easier to monitor long-running ingestion jobs in the task log.
Real-Time Attribute Updates
Attribute values refresh automatically when an automation rule runs or when another user makes bulk changes on the same object. Changes appear as they happen without reloading the page.
Short Object URLs
Every object has a short URL in the format /obj/{id} that redirects to its detail page. Short URLs are stable — they continue to work even if the object is moved or renamed.
SQL Parser: Oracle and PostgreSQL Dialects
The external SQL parser supports Oracle and PostgreSQL dialects. Upload Oracle or PostgreSQL SQL scripts to generate lineage automatically.
Relations
Linking objects within text attributes automatically creates relations between the referenced objects. This also enables the Sync data action to synchronize in-text object hyperlinks.
Settings
Features Page
A new Features page in Settings > General lists platform features that can be enabled or disabled for your environment. Available features include MCP and the lineage parser. Enabling MCP also activates the contributor read-only restriction mode. To enable a feature, contact Dawiso customer support.
Granular Search Index Refresh
The search index can be refreshed per space or per application from Settings > General > Administrative tasks, in addition to the global refresh. This makes it faster to update search results for a specific area without a full environment reindex.
UX/UI Enhancements
Advanced Search
Advanced search displays the full path name and up to five lines of description for each search result. This provides more context and helps you identify the correct result faster.
In-App Help Panel
A Help button in the top-right corner opens a panel with articles relevant to the page you are currently on. Articles update automatically as you navigate. Select See All Articles to browse the full help library.
Link Distinction in Text Attributes
Links in text attributes are visually distinguished by how they were created. Tokenized links — automatically created when you mention an object — appear in black with a tooltip. Manually inserted links appear in blue.
Numbering Start Level
Object numbering can start from level 0. Previously, numbering began at level 1 by default, producing sequences such as 1.A.a. Newly, numbering can be configured to start at 0.A.a. instead. The setting is available in the Numbering levels dialog when numbering is enabled for an app.
