2026.08.0

Release date: August 5, 2026

This release is about the layer underneath your dashboards. SharePoint reaches general availability with full lineage, ownership, and sprawl monitoring; BI360 gains a Data tab that shows where your data actually comes from, how reliably it refreshes, and who is creating it; and the Datalogz MCP server enters preview, opening your governance metadata to AI agents.

This release helps your teams to:

  • Govern SharePoint content in production the same way they govern BI, with lineage, ownership, and sprawl monitoring included

  • See their data sources, refresh reliability, and content creators in one place in BI360

  • Query their analytics estate from an AI agent through the MCP server, now in preview

What's New

SharePoint: now generally available

SharePoint moves out of early access and into general availability. Content is inventoried, monitored, traced, and clickable, on the same footing as your BI connectors.

  • Clickable source URLs on every inventory asset tab, so you can jump from an asset to the live document

  • Lineage on the asset side panel, with parentage shown as "Belongs to" so you can see where a document sits in its site and library structure

  • Sprawl monitors for ownerless content and for stale or empty content, with a dedicated SharePoint tab in the Monitor Catalog

  • Full library crawling: every document library on a site is now crawled, not just the default "Documents" library

Result: SharePoint sprawl gets the same ownership and staleness treatment as the rest of your estate, across all of your content, not a fraction of it.

MCP server: now in preview

The Datalogz MCP server is available in preview, letting AI agents and assistants query your governance metadata directly.

  • Ask about inventory, ownership, lineage, usage, and alerts in natural language from any MCP-compatible client

  • Queries run against generated dbt models, so answers stay consistent with what you see in the product

Result: Your governance data becomes something your team's AI tooling can reason over, not just something they read in a dashboard.

Bring your own Tableau Connected App

Tableau authentication now supports a user-supplied, pre-created Connected App alongside the existing setup flow.

  • Provide your own Connected App credentials during connector setup

  • Useful where security policy requires the app to be created and reviewed inside your own tenant

Result: Tableau connects on your organization's terms, without a policy exception.

Enhancements

Clearer alerts

  • Alert stat cards now respect the filters applied to the table beneath them, so the numbers match what you are looking at

  • Alert scoping is unified across View by Alerts and View by Assets and the same filters produce the same population in both views

  • Long-refresh monitors only flag a duration when the refresh is still scheduled, removing noise from retired content

  • Customer-facing monitor descriptions have been cleaned up for clarity

Platform Stability & Performance

  • Inventory Summary refreshes no longer deadlock. Large environments that previously saw 10+ hour refreshes now complete normally

  • MCP now queries through generated dbt models rather than hand-written SQL, making its results consistent with the rest of the platform and simpler to extend

Bug Fixes

  • Spotfire: asset views now return one row per GUID, unbreaking the inventory grid

  • Spotfire: source lineage is captured, and all owners are retained rather than only the first

  • Qlik: the Team and Inventory Summary tab is hidden for Qlik teams, fixing an empty-users redirect

  • SAML SSO: sign-in now succeeds with identity providers that send empty attributes

  • Sign-in: plus-addressed email addresses are accepted

  • Similarity: credential refresh works again after a regression introduced in a prior hotfix
