Written by CluedIn | May 14, 2025 3:41:23 PM

What’s New in CluedIn 2025.01

At CluedIn, we're committed to helping organizations master their data with speed, clarity, and confidence. With the release of CluedIn 2025.01, we’ve introduced a wave of powerful enhancements designed to simplify data onboarding, improve governance, and give users more control over how data is validated, approved, and used across the business.

Here’s a closer look at the most impactful features in our latest release.

A Whole New Ingestion Experience

We’ve completely reimagined the ingestion process to help users work faster and smarter:

  • New Ingestion Dashboard
    A visual, intuitive starting point for ingesting data from files, databases, APIs, manual entry projects, and crawlers.

  • Ingestion Overview at a Glance
    See how many sources you’re using, which records are quarantined or awaiting approval, and where attention is needed.

  • Time-Based Ingestion Trends
    Monitor ingestion volume by hour or day to spot bottlenecks and optimize performance.

Enhanced Source Monitoring & Record Tracking

Get full visibility into your data ingestion lifecycle:

  • Source Filtering & Counts
    Instantly find data sources by type with new filters and view counts per source category.

  • Payload-Level Tracking
    Each record submission now has a unique receipt ID for precise tracking and auditing.

  • Golden Record Visibility
    View the golden records created from each payload — and remove them if needed.

Source Record Approval & Anomaly Insights

Governance just got an upgrade:

  • Pre-Processing Approval Rules
    Flag specific incoming records — such as manual entries or delta updates—for manual approval before processing.

  • My Tasks Integration
    Approval tasks are surfaced per user, ensuring clear ownership.

  • New Ingestion Anomalies Page
    View potential ingestion issues with remediation steps and status for each error.

Dataset Validation: Better Data, Fewer Surprises

Quality is key. Our new validation engine helps you catch and fix data issues early:

  • Validation in Edit Mode (MAP datasets)
    Spot errors, missing values, and inconsistencies with clear visual indicators.

  • Manual Correction Enabled
    Invalid records can be fixed on the fly before they affect downstream processes.

Power FX Rules: Smarter Logic, Less Code

Bring more intelligence into your rule building with Power FX:

  • Perform string manipulations, type conversions, decision-making logic, and more.

  • Easily express complex rule conditions with an intuitive formula language.

Granular Access Control: Mask & Edit Permissions

Data privacy meets flexibility:

  • Masking Action
    Hide sensitive values with blur indicators—users know it’s there, but can’t access or edit it.

  • Add/Edit Permissions
    Grant selected users or roles the ability to add or change specific fields within Golden Records.

Smarter Search and Vocabulary Key Selection

Find what you need, faster:

  • Search Experience Overhaul
    Quickly access recent searches, private filters, and shared searches.

  • Vocabulary Key Selector
    Select keys from vocabularies in a streamlined interface and add them to your results view in one click.

Expanded Audit Logs

CluedIn now logs every action across:

  • Rules

  • Glossary terms

  • Deduplication and cleaning projects

  • And more

With these enhancements, you’ll always have the history and context needed to maintain transparency and control.
