What’s new in Accurity SaaS solutions?
One of the main advantages of moving to SaaS is that we can roll out new features to you with ease and with little or no work on your side. Take a look at some of the recent features we added and check back regularly to see more.
Data profiling for Google BigQuery and MongoDB
An update to our data profiling feature specifically to allow users the ability to profile uncommon databases such as the cloud database Google BigQuery and the NoSQL database MongoDB.

Process diagrams
Get a visual diagram (process map) of data lineage between business processes and the data catalog. Use the perspective of your company’s data that is important to the user e.g., processes, data assets, business terms, entities, or attributes. This feature is an optional add-on for the Business Glossary and Data Catalog solution.

Business term relationship diagrams
Get a visualization of traceability that helps you to understand the logic of metric calculation. This diagram, similar to data lineage, presents a tree that looks beyond the relationship of two business terms via a third layer. Included in the Business Glossary and Data Catalog solution.

3rd party registration
When signing up for our Accurity SaaS you can now use an account from another online service i.e., Microsoft or Google. This allows you to register for our free trial quickly and without needing to create yet another user account and password to keep track of.

Bulk updates
Save time, and the associated cost, of making changes that will need to be applied to many objects at once. Make bulk updates to any number of objects simultaneously including adding or removing tags, turning on and off notifications, deletion.
- Added May 2022
Data profiling
Allows users to tap into real data from the Data Field level of the Data Catalog and display statistical information (data profile) about them. Use the information gained from this data profile as an inspiration when creating rules for measuring data quality. Included in the Premium or Custom plans of the Business Glossary and Data Catalog solution and the Business Data Model and Data Catalog solution.

Allows users to create synonymous values to business terms without losing the golden truth of the main term. These synonyms are displayed in searches and filters and redirect the user to the main term when selected. This can be particularly useful such as during transitional periods after mergers.
- Added December 2021
Technical data mappings
Document how data flows between your data sources. It captures data transformations so that you can get an overview of how data moves between parts of your data catalog. It can help you be compliant with regulatory standards that require data transformation tracking.

Included in the Premium or Custom plans of the Business Data Model and Data Catalog solution.
- Added November 2021
Advanced custom properties

You can display entire groups of objects regardless of their type in a single view. Objects can be sorted by or searched for using any of these tags.
- Added October 2021

Process lineage is an optional add-on for the Business Glossary and Data Catalog solution or the Business Data Model & Data Catalog solution.

Data assets
Define hierarchal Data Assets and link data sets to them at the highest level of your Data Catalog.

This enables you to get to know your data via a representation of IT landscapes, systems, databases, applications, etc.
