Resources: Preview on hover

Example of a source preview card

Example of a source preview card

Hover over a resource link anywhere in Validio, in lists, sidebars, the Lineage graph, or the activity log, to see a compact card that summarizes the resource without leaving the page. A card shows what the resource is, key details such as its owner, tags, and related resources, and whether it needs attention, including its data quality, open incidents, and problems such as a failed poll. Cards open when you hover over or focus a link, and you can pin a card to follow the links inside it. Hover cards are available for most resources, including sources, validators, incident groups, catalog assets, glossary terms, and teams. A few link types, such as tags, show only the name. See Navigating with Resource Links.

Thresholds: Change the threshold type of an existing validator

Changing the threshold type

Changing the threshold type

You can now switch an existing validator to a different threshold type, for example from a dynamic threshold to a fixed threshold, as you learn more about how a metric behaves. Previously, a validator’s threshold type couldn’t be changed after it was created. In the Update threshold dialog, choose the new threshold type and preview how often it would have alerted. Then choose Duplicate Validator to keep the original validator, or Replace Validator to replace it. Replace Validator deletes the original validator, including its ID and activity history, so use Duplicate Validator to keep them. Replace Validator isn’t offered in namespaces with approval workflows enabled, or when a reconciliation validator references the validator. See Updating Thresholds.

  • Values very close to zero in the incident group summary now display as 0 instead of with many trailing decimal places (UI-8449)
