Salesforce Connector enhancements

Frustrated by your Salesforce records being out of step with the merged entity in Reltio? Now you can keep your updates in lock step! Merges in Reltio are now automatically updated in Salesforce. Additionally, if the relationship in Salesforce is maintained through an object, then the relationship attributes are also synchronized. Salesforce records stay in sync with Reltio, avoiding any data quality/integrity issues related to incorrect hierarchy (missing parent child relationship) or relationships. For more information on managing multiple relationships, see topic Relation Synchronization from Reltio Platform to Salesforce.

Strengthen data unification

Check out new features to help make unifying your data in Reltio even stronger.

You're on a journey to continuously curate and unify your data. Of course, you're traveling with your data quality and governance guides. Let us lighten your load with an intuitive experience that moves you from master data management towards data unification!

Meet our unconventional match maker (Early Access)

Are you tired of spending too much time trying to find the perfect match using traditional match rules? Well, here's an enticing solution for you: pre-trained machine learning models. These models are fast and easy to configure, require less domain expertise and maintenance, and are often more accurate.

If you work with Life Sciences data and need to quickly match HCP entities without relying on match rules, then you should explore this Early Access feature. Within the Data Modeler Match Rules page, you can create various types of match actions for the model. These actions include generating potential matches and merging them based on the relevance score.

To access this feature, you'll need to become a member of our EA program. If you're interested in joining and discovering more about this exciting capability, check out this topic for details Reltio Release Process and Schedule.

Automated householding

Eliminate painful manual effort and costly customizations with Reltio's new automated householding capability to increase data team productivity and improve customer experience!

We created Reltio's grouping service to help you identify and maintain household data among your customer data in a simple, time-effective, and cost-effective manner. Instead of manually updating household relationships if this data changes, use our automated householding feature to automatically group your customers into households based on business-defined match rules. Our simple UI enables you to quickly create rules that automatically group customers into households, which Reltio uses to maintain and update household data.For more information, see topic Automated householding.

Inbox table view

We have made several improvements in the Reltio Inbox user experience. Having experienced the List view in Reltio Inbox, would you like another way to view the details of your tasks? With the new Table view feature, you have the option to display your task attributes in a tabular format. You can modify the layout by hiding columns you don't need, add new columns you need to perform your operations, and rearrange them! From now on, the Reltio Inbox will automatically remember your last filters and layout setup; so that the next time you open Inbox, you don't need to reconfigure it. Everything will be just as you left it! Finally, continue to use filters as usual but now with the added ability to select multiple task types simultaneously. The new layout allows you to see different tabs for different task types, and one condensed tab with all selected task types.

Get behind the wheel of our revved-up Data Modeler

Prefer to be behind the wheel rather than under the hood? Put down your JSON wrench, wipe the API oil off your hands, and slide into the updated Data Modeler driving seat, where you can easily view and test entity cleansers. Get a clear view of the cleansers configured for your entity types right in the Console Data Modeler. Go ahead and take them for a test run while you're at it. No need to export the configuration, update entries in JSON, and then load them back into Reltio. Easier, speedier, leaves you with more time for other tasks. Check out our seriously revved-up UI in topic Test cleanse data model functions.

Help yourself to the Reltio Google BigQuery Connector

Sure you're pretty good at using APIs to configure and manage things in Reltio. Sometimes, though, wouldn't it be nice to have an intuitive user interface to minimize errors and accelerate configuration? And we guess you wouldn't say no to getting immediate feedback on successful configuration and data synchronization tasks. We're helping you to help yourself with our new Cloud data warehouse connectors. Try out Reltio Google BigQuery (GBQ) Connector and see how simple a UI for configuration, troubleshooting, and validation steps can be.

Aggregated API for Search scenarios

Even if you knew the specific entities you wanted to create or update, you first had to locate them with the Search before you could run the Create/Update. Ready to pick up the pace? Search and update entities all at once in the combined Search Before Create. Find entities, their relationships and connected parties and structure your search by reference or relationship type with the Find Connected Parties and Search Connections.

These new API endpoints allow multiple steps in one call with low latency - typically milliseconds, not seconds. Perform complex operations like finding objects by attribute value, finding all of their connections and connected parties, or creating a conditional save where the result is defined by a search condition all in a single API call. For details, see topics Find Connected Parties and Search Connections.

DVF Console enhancements

Don't have the time or expertise to build external Life Cycle Actions (LCAs) to perform complex data validations? Bet you'd prefer an intuitive self-service capability to configure Data Validation Functions (DVFs). Well, we've got you covered! Now you can create DVFs in the Console Data Modeler:
  • Compare against system dates, for example, Current Date > Start date

  • Compare fields within an entity, for example, Date of Death > Date of Birth

Reference Data Management (RDM)

Check out these new titles on our reference shelf:
  • In the ​RDM​, when you approve a Data Change Request (DCR) created for mapping an unmapped value to a canonical value, the new source mapping is added to the canonical value and the unmapped value is deleted. If the DCR is rejected, the unmapped value stays unmapped and the new mapping is not created.

  • To delete an RDM tenant, you must now raise a support ticket to Reltio. External administrators will no longer be assigned the RDM tenant delete permission. We want to ensure the RDM tenant is not deleted accidentally, so we have restricted access to external administrators.

Sure the new features and enhancements are exciting. Keeping tried and true features roadworthy is important, too! Get your fix on our fixes and smaller enhancements here.

Explore - Get ready to transform your data

Check out these new features and enhancements in this weekly release to help you plan your master data management voyage.

Hub

We fixed a bug that prevented accurate filtering of results by date range when using the History filter on an individual profile. See the filter feature in this topic Filter the History tab.

Model - Define your data model

Check out these new features and enhancements in this weekly release to help you define model, match, merge, and cleanse your data.

Potential Matches
In the Potential Matches view, you can now filter profiles and sort them based on the relevance score and match action. We introduced two new filters - the Relevance score and Match action - that help you filter profiles that are potential matches to the main entity. After these matches are filtered and listed in the tab, you can sort them in the ascending or descending order based on the relevance score and match action and then select the most deserving ones. For more information, see topic Select the potential matches for a profile.

Integrate - Connect your data

Check out these new features and enhancements in this weekly release to help you import, enrich, and export your data.

Data Loader
The Job Status page showed a status of ERROR rather than STOPPED if you stopped a download job before the Data Loader began processing records or could set an end date. We added processing checks, so now when you stop a job, the Job Status page displays an appropriate status rather than ERROR. For details, see topics Stop a Data Load Job, View Data Analysis Information about a Job, and View the History of a Job Definition.
