Removed Legacy Endpoint Routes ⚠️
Legacy Endpoints (deprecated in 2024.12.00) have now been removed! Make sure that upstream services pushing data in to CluedIn are using the correct endpoint URL. There is no change in the way you submit your data just to the destination URL. Note this is just for legacy URL endpoints you will not need to action anything.
Example of old deprecated endpoint URL
/upload/api/endpoint/8D4B6DD5-1DAC-4B84-8F4A-FFECD122A2EF
and the current version looks like
/ingest/api/endpoint/8D4B6DD5-1DAC-4B84-8F4A-FFECD122A2EF
Overmerging protection
To help prevent incorrect data consolidation, we’ve introduced Over-Merging Protection. This feature is designed to safeguard against unintentionally merging records that represent different real-world entities, a common risk in large and complex data sets.
Over-Merging Protection adds additional checks and constraints during the merge process, ensuring that only records that truly belong together are combined into a single Golden Record. Any records that are impacted by this get push back to quarentine so that they can be reviewed at a later date.
New Golden Record Propeties Page (Beta)
he new Overview Page provides immediate context when opening a Golden Record. By surfacing key information upfront, users can quickly understand the state of a record without navigating through multiple tabs. To start using this you need to enable the New Golden Record Overview Page feature flag.
New Golden Record Propeties Page (Beta)
The golden records properties page has been revamped to give a more holistic view of the golden record. It also allows you to more easily filter and edit properties inline for a smoother workflow. To start using this you need to enable the New Properties Tab on the Golden Record Page feature flag.
New Search page (Beta)
The search page has been revamped to more easily allow access to filters and also to allow inline editing of vocabulary key values. To start using this you need to enable the New Golden Record Search page feature flag.
Explain Log Simplification (Beta)
To start using this you need to enable the Updated Explain Log Page feature flag.
Ingest Module Delete Workflow (Beta)
New workflow in datasource ingestion that enables deleting a datasource, dataset and all records within it in a single click instead of having to do each step manually. Go to the relevent item you wish to delete for example a data set and then just choose to delete and that will queue a job that will delete all records and then remove the data set when it is finished. To start using this you need to enable the Data Source Delete Workflow feature flag.
Access Control Delete
Added the ability to now control who has permission to delete in access control. There is a new access control action called Delete Record which gives you the ability to state who can delete records
General UI/UX improvements
Based on ongoing user feedback, this release introduces a series of UI and UX improvements focused on making CluedIn easier to navigate, clearer to understand, and more efficient to use in day-to-day data stewardship work. These include new themes, menu reorganization and general UX improvements across the system and many more improvements.
Global Audit Log
New admin section providing a centralized view of system activity, allowing users to track changes to rules, deduplication configurations, and data set removals from a single page. This makes it easier to understand what has changed over time and to support auditing and troubleshooting needs.
AI Job Builder Improvements
A new Profile data source type has been added to the AI Job Builder.
This data source is designed for AI skills that operate on aggregated or profile-level data rather than processing entities row by row, enabling more efficient execution for rule- and analysis-based jobs.
Typical use cases include:
- Fix Data Quality Issues With Rules
- Create Data Validation Rules
New AI Skills
Two new AI skills have been added to support automated job creation and data enrichment.
Create AI Jobs
This skill analyses the provided data and automatically creates additional AI Jobs using other available AI skills where appropriate, reducing the need for manual job setup.
For example, based on detected data characteristics, it may create jobs to:
- Generate data validation rules
- Fix data quality issues
When using this skill:
- Enable Sampling when working with a Query data source, or
- Use the Profile data source available in the AI Job Builder
Enrich Data
This skill uses AI to enrich existing data by filling in missing or incomplete values, helping improve overall data completeness.
