New features and enhancements

The April 2025 release of Business 360 Console includes the following new features and enhancements.

Retention period for historical data

Some customers might see the History Retention tab where they can configure the retention period for historical data.
You can configure the retention period for the history of master data to comply with data retention policies. The retention period can be up to seven years. Historical data that's older than the retention period is permanently deleted and can't be restored.
For more information about configuring the retention period for historical data, see Configuring the retention period for historical data.

Manage digital assets

You can allow business users to manage digital assets by adding URL fields to business entities. You can configure survivorship for URL fields, and ingress and egress URL fields included in records.
For more information about URL fields, see URL fields.

Delete custom assets

You can now delete custom assets, such as business entities, hierarchies, and relationships, after removing any associated dependencies. For example, if a custom page is based on a business entity, you must delete the custom page first before deleting the business entity.
When you delete custom reference data assets in Business 360 Console, the status of the reference data assets changes to unpublished and the reference data assets are removed from the Explore page. When you use an unpublished reference data asset in a picklist, the reference data set is automatically published and then it shows up on the Explore page. To permanently delete the reference data assets, delete them from Reference 360.
Note: This functionality will be available within seven days after your POD is upgraded to the April release.
For more information about deleting custom assets, see Deleting custom assets.

Search results layout component

The search results layout component now includes a new section to display thumbnails of digital assets associated with records.
For more information about configuring search results layout components, see Configure a search results layout components.

Dynamic pool

You can now use keyboard shortcuts when you configure dynamic pools.
For more information about keyboard shortcuts available to configure dynamic pools, see Using keyboard shortcuts in dynamic pools.

Related Entities API

Use the Related Entities API to retrieve hierarchical and non-hierarchical relationships along with related records of a master record based on its business ID.
For more information about the Related Entities API, see Related Entities API.

Address verification upgrade

Address Verification is upgraded to version 6.6.0.
For more information about setting the license file for Address Verification, see Setting the license details.

Delete relationships and hierarchies

You can now run an ingress job to delete relationships and hierarchies in bulk.
For more information about deleting relationships and hierarchies, see Target transformation in mappings and Define ingress job.

Advanced settings for data enrichment objectives

The objective properties now include advanced settings to specify the types of records to which you want to apply an objective and when to apply it. For example, you can apply the objective when a record is created or updated through business applications and REST APIs. By default, master records are enriched when a record is created or updated through business application and REST APIs. Currently, you can't edit these settings.
For more information about objectives, see Adding objectives to an objective group.

Improved validation messages

When you configure data enrichment, MDM SaaS now displays improved validation messages for invalid configurations. Objective groups, objectives, rule associations, and data enhancement rules are validated when you save them. If the existing rule associations fail at run time, contact Informatica Global Customer Support.
For more information about configuring data enrichment, see Configuring data enrichment.

You can also explore records of specific business entities from Customer 360 SaaS, Product 360 SaaS, or Supplier 360 SaaS.
