We are excited to introduce a new way to organize key data assets for stakeholders of all sorts. Collections are a more visual and intuitive way to organize and discover assets. With Collections you’ll be able to organize assets into domains that all users can easily discover and explore.
Collections are an upgrade to Category tags in Select Star and there are some important changes to be aware of:
February 6th: Collections will be available on all Select Star accounts
February 25th: Existing Category Tags will be automatically migrated to Collections, and Category Tags will be deprecated from the platform
Assets in Category Tags will be migrated to the corresponding collection so you won’t lose your current organization. Category tags will cease to exist in the platform, and Status tags will be renamed as Tags.
Read the documentation on Collections here.
The Select Star App for Slack has now been approved and published in the Slack Marketplace. There’s a boatload of features available in Slack, from schema change notifications, to search, and also our chatbot that can answer data questions for you.
If you haven’t yet, we highly recommend you check out our Slack App!
We are excited to announce support for formula lineage for our Salesforce integration. With formula lineage you can track how data is being transformed and aggregated across Salesforce objects before it even makes it to your warehouse.
Select Star now supports Metabase Metrics and Questions in the catalog. Questions can be seen in their corresponding folders, along with dashboards, and you can easily see the lineage for each question, including which dashboards it is on.
Metrics appear in their own section, grouped by the table they are defined on, to make them easy to browse.
