New features and enhancements

Watch the What's New video to learn about the new features and enhancements in the April 2024 release.

Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, such as Administrator, Data Integration, Data Quality, and the MDM SaaS business applications, have a new look and feel that allows you to visualize and interact with data in greater clarity. Currently, the new UI experience isn't available for Business 360 Console.

You can now create publishing events for the merge, unmerge, purge, and restore actions. To create publishing events for these actions, use the v2 version of the payload metadata. You can continue using the existing publishing events, which are automatically set to the v1 version of the payload metadata.

For more information about creating publishing events, see Create a publishing event.

When you create a business entity, you can configure the format of business IDs for the records that belong to the business entity.

For more information about business IDs, see Business entity properties.

When you use the Create Master Record API, you can specify custom business IDs for the records that you create. The format of the business ID depends on the format that you configured for the business entity.

For more information about the Create Master Record API, see Create Master Record.

You can now enable business entity record fields of a business entity to be searchable. When the users use the business ID to search for records in the MDM SaaS business applications and the Search REST API request, the search results include all the records that contain the searched record as related record. For example, you can use the business ID of an organization record to search for all the person records that relate to the organization record through the business entity record field.

You can also add the business entity record fields to the search results layout component.

For more information about configuring search properties for a business entity, see Configuring search properties for a field.

You can now set any field of a field group as a deduplication criteria. Use the deduplication criteria to identify and merge duplicate field group values.

For more information about deduplication criteria, see Deduplication criteria.

You can now set specific survivorship configurations for fields within a field group. To configure survivorship for a field within a field group, disable block survivorship for the field group.

For more information about block survivorship, see Block survivorship.

You can now configure survivorship rule for a field or field group based on the value of another field.

For example, for the full name field to survive based on age, configure a survivorship rule for the full name field that's based on the maximum value of the age field.

For more information about survivorship rules, see Rules.

You can now modify identical survivorship configurations of fields and field groups simultaneously. To edit identical survivorship configurations of multiple fields and field groups simultaneously, click the Select fields with identical rules icon.

The following image shows the icon that indicates the fields with identical survivorship configurations:

For more information about modifying identical survivorship configurations, see Editing identical survivorship configurations.

You can now enable fields in a business entity to be reportable. These fields appear as dimensions and measures when users create custom reports. You must set the fields used in existing custom reports as reportable for users to edit them.

For more information about enabling a field to be reportable, see Configure search and reports properties for a field.
