New features and enhancements

The April 2026 release of Business 360 Console includes the following new features and enhancements.

Lineage of records

You can now display record lineage as an interactive event timeline by adding the Lineage component to a page. A business user can then visually explore the create, merge, and unmerge events in the timeline to gain insight into how a master record evolved over time.
For more information about configuring the component, see Configuring the Lineage component.

Purge code values of code lists

You can now purge code values of code lists along with their relationships and historical data. You can purge code values of custom code lists that aren't picklist values of business entities in business applications, such as Customer 360 SaaS.
For more information about purging reference data assets, see Purging data.

Migrate existing data quality rule associations

To optimize performance and ensure faster validation and enrichment, you can now migrate your existing basic, advanced, and DaaS rule associations to use Enrichment and Validation Orchestrator. When you choose to migrate existing rule associations, MDM SaaS runs the migrate rule associations job. The job automatically creates a predefined objective group for each business entity, objectives, and equivalent rule associations within those objectives.
Rule association migration is applicable to organizations that were created before the October 2025 release.
Note:
Informatica recommends that you first migrate your existing rule associations to use Enrichment and Validation Orchestrator in development and QA environments. After you complete testing the migrated rule associations, run the migrate rule associations job in production environments.
For more information about migrating existing data quality rule associations, see Migrate rule associations.

REST API

Business 360 REST API includes the following new resources and additional parameters within existing resources:
Create Master Record and Update Source Record APIs
You can use the optional _population parameter in the Create Master Record and Update Source Record APIs to assign a population to a record. Match keys are generated for the record based on the assigned population instead of the match model populations to improve match accuracy.

Permissions for data access rules

To provide better access control and enhance data security, you can now set create, update, and delete permissions in record-level and attribute-level data access rules. You can edit an existing data access rule to set create, read, update, and delete permissions. By default, all existing data access rules include the read permission.
Note:
You can't set create permissions in data access rules that you configure with conditions on relationship assets.
For more information about configuring permissions in data access rules, see Setting permissions in data access rules.

Adaptive AI match model

The training process of the Adaptive AI match model now includes the following enhancements:
For more information about the Adaptive AI match model training process, see Training the Adaptive AI match model.

URL fields

You can now configure rules for field groups to identify URL values in multiple field group entries and display them as preview images in search results, page headers, summary, and related records components.
For example, consider a phone product record containing a field group with URLs for preview images of the front and back of a phone, you can configure a rule to identify the URL of the front side for the search results layout component.
For more information about configuring user interface components, see Configuring components.

Modernize on-premises objects

You can now modernize on-premises objects by migrating them from the MDM Hub to MDM SaaS. You can modernize objects, such as lookup tables, business entities, user roles, users, match rule sets, survivorship configurations, source systems, hierarchies, and relationships. Modernize the objects to take advantage of the scalability, flexibility, and continuous updates that MDM SaaS provides.
You can also modernize objects from third-party MDM providers, such as IBM and Semarchy, through REST APIs.
For more information about modernizing on-premises objects, see Modernize on-premises objects.

Enrichment and Validation Orchestrator

Enrichment and Validation Orchestrator includes the following new features and enhancements:

Ingress and file import

You can now view the details for each rule association by downloading the rule association-based report from the load step. You can also continue to view the existing record-based report.
Also, the ingress or file import job metrics in the load step now include enrichment and validation metrics.

Export search results job

When you export search results in a business application, MDM SaaS now creates a job to export the search results asynchronously.
You can view the export search results job and its metrics on the My Jobs page. After you export the search results, download the exported data from the job details page in the MDM SaaS business application.
For more information about the export search results job, see Monitoring export search results jobs.

Merge Job

Merge jobs now include a preliminary step to identify groups of record pairs that are potential candidates for automated merges. The additional step enhances the overall performance of merge jobs.
For more information about merge jobs, see Monitoring match and merge jobs.

Configure search for dynamic field values

You can now enable dynamic fields to be searchable and facetable in a dynamic pool. After you enable them, you can search for records based on dynamic field values and filter search results by using dynamic fields in business applications. You can enable up to 50 searchable and 50 facetable dynamic fields in an organization.
For more information about configuring search for dynamic field values, see Configuring search layout component.

Rich text formatting for text fields

You can now configure a text field in a business entity to store values in rich text format. Use the rich text format to style and enhance text by applying formatting options, such as bold, italics, underline, fonts, colors, bullet points, and hyperlinks. Users can enter HTML tags and attributes directly when they enter text values or use the rich text editor to format text values.
For more information about rich text formatting, see Rich text formatting for text fields.

Securities 360

You can now use predefined mapplets to integrate securities data from market data providers, such as Bloomberg and London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), into Securities 360. Use mapplets to normalize complex data formats into a standard market data format and then transform the normalized data into data model attributes of Securities 360.
For more information about the integration assets for market data provider, see Securities 360.
