You can view the following types of usage statistics:
- •Number of searches in Unison for a facet over a period of time.
- •Frequently used keywords to search for objects in Unison over a period of time.
- •Most searched objects in Unison over a period of time.
- •Users who conducted the most searches in Unison over a period of time.

Workflows and Change Requests
- Integration with Jira
- You can configure Atlassian Jira as an external change request system for Axon. For any change request, Axon can create a ticket in Jira and include the object stakeholders in the workflow.
- Customize workflow notifications
- For a change request, as a SuperAdmin user, you can configure the actions on which Axon sends notifications to stakeholders of an object. You can configure Axon to send notifications on one of or both of the following scenarios:
- - When a comment is added to a change request
You can configure Axon to not send a notification when a comment is added to a change request. If an object stakeholder is mentioned in the comment, they will receive a notification even if you disable notifications on comments.
- - When a workflow step is completed
You can configure Axon to not send a notification when a stakeholder completes a workflow step. If a workflow step requires an object stakeholder to take action, they will receive a notification even if you disable notifictations for workflow step completion.
For more information, see the Customize Workflow Notifications topic in the Axon Data Governance Administrator Guide.
- Delegates assigned to an object during the progress of a workflow can perform workflow tasks
- During the progress of a change request workflow, if you assign a new stakeholder or a delegate to an object or modify the stakeholder or delegate of an object, the new stakeholder or delegate can participate in the stakeholder responsibilities that befall them.
For more information, see the Assign a Delegate to an Object topic in the Axon Data Governance User Guide.
- Unlock an object that has an active change request
- If the Axon Status of the user account of an object stakeholder is set to Deleted and if that object has an active change request, you can unlock the object.
For more information, see the Manage Locks topic in the Axon Data Governance Administrator Guide.
Unison Search Improvements
- Attributes facet
- Under the Attributes facet in Unison, Axon displays the business logic of an attribute. To view them, select Business Logic from the Choose Columns sub-menu in Unison.
- Business Logic filter
- You can use the Unison filter options to curate attributes by business logic.
Axon with Enterprise Data Catalog
The Axon and Enterprise Data Catalog integration includes the following enhancements:
- Support for additional resources and physical fields
- You can onboard Salesforce V2 resources from Enterprise Data Catalog.
You can onboard the following types of physical fields from Enterprise Data Catalog:
- - List View Column
- - Field
- Onboarding Objects from Different Schemas in a Resource
- When a physical field is linked to separate glossaries, if you onboard objects, synonyms or public synonyms with same table or physical field names but with different schemas, Axon appends the physical field path to the name of the onboarded data sets to make the onboarded data sets distinguishable. The first data set that is onboarded does not have its physical field path appended to its name.
- Link removal
- Axon stores all the links that are removed from the physical field to attribute for seven days. This allows you to re-establish the attribute and physical field links.
For more information, refer to the Linking to Enterprise Metadata chapter in the Axon Data Governance User Guide.
Data Marketplace Enhancement
Data Marketplace allows you to edit the value of a custom field only while placing a data collection request. You cannot edit the value if the data collection request is completed, approved, fulfilled, or rejected.
Data Quality Rule Automation Support for New Resources
You can automate the process of running data quality rules on the following newly added resources:
- •Microsoft Azure Data Warehouse
- •Snowflake
For more information, see the Automate Data Quality Rules chapter in the Axon Data Governance User Guide.
