Hi, I’m Oliver. a Solutions Consultant here at Ataccama.Workflows and governance are integral to any form of modern data management, be it MDM or RDM. But with so much to do in a typical workday, how do you respect the time of your end users and ensure they are informed when their input is required?Out of the box, Ataccama MDM and RDM include useful functionality to send emails to defined roles (i.e. groups of users) whenever records are moved through C(R)UD workflows. But what if we need to:Create consolidated, routine summaries for cases where data changes often and frequently? Allow users (e.g. project managers) who are not directly involved in the workflow to see progress? Notify users in different ways (e.g. Microsoft Teams, Slack, or Amazon SNS)? Create dashboards of daily workflow progress to report against?Once again, we can turn to Ataccama Plans & Scheduled Workflows! Notification WorkflowsIn this example, consider a pretend client using RDM, with a custom workflow whenev

Hi all!In today’s post, we will go a step further and briefly touch on the main features of the RDM. RDM and its features are without a doubt much more layered so I’ll be sharing links to further reading on each of the features mentioned 🖇️Before starting, I suggest you take a look at the first two posts of our RDM Best Practice series to get familiar with the solution if you aren’t already 🔎  1. Model and Metadata ConfigurationThe RDM metadata is the core configuration of the RDM project. The central reference data model swiftly configures critical processes, from integration interfaces to synchronization processes and relationships.Through the metadata model it defines all entities, structures, workflows, synchronization jobs, and more. For detailed instructions, refer to RDM Configuration. 2. Data Management RDM seamlessly supports the complete lifecycle of reference data. It serves as the central authority for changes, ensuring consistency across diverse systems. Create, modify,

Hi everyone! We are back with the second part of the introduction to RDM series. If you missed our first post you can find it here 👇🏻In this post, we'll delve into the fundamentals of RDM—creating new reference data, editing existing records, publishing changes, and exploring advanced features like viewing modes and hierarchies. Let's get started 🏃🏻‍♀️ How to Create New Reference DataLet’s go through a quick example to demonstrate. Navigate to 102: Branch Table: Open the DATA section in the left menu. Choose Tables and open the 102: Branch table, showcasing a list of banking branches.  Create New Record:Hit the Create button, unveiling an empty form. Fill in required fields, leaving Code blank. Validate your entries, correcting any issues. Hit Enrich to auto-populate certain fields based on predefined logic. Before saving, ensure your Address lacks the number 9. Save the record, acknowledging the warning prompt. Explore the option to create a new record from an existing one for ef

Hi everyone, and happy Monday! In this post, we will cover Ataccama’s Reference Data Management solution with a short introduction, follow us for part 2 and check out our MDM Series below 👇🏻 First things first. What is RDM?Reference data is data that defines the values that are used to classify and characterize other data. This is sometimes known - not always correctly - as Master Data, Golden Record, Golden Copy, or Single Source of Truth.RDM is an essential component of Master Data Management (MDM) that has evolved to become a mature data management discipline in its own right.  Who's It For?At the heart of the RDM web application are three key player roles:Reference Data Stewards Analysts ManagersDesigned with precision, the RDM web application caters to these roles, ensuring a user-friendly and efficient experience. What Can You Do?The RDM web application empowers you with a rich set of features: View, Edit, and Manage: Seamlessly view, edit, and manage reference data, putting yo

 Happy Tuesday community 🙋‍♀️ This week we have a series of best practices on all things components on ONE Desktop. Component steps, often referred to as simply "components," are instrumental tools that come with unique capabilities. Here, we'll explore what makes components special and how to make the most of them in your data projects. What Sets Components ApartComponents are akin to plans but with distinctive attributes: Reusable: Components can be employed repeatedly, functioning like steps within other plan files. Parameterization: Components can have properties within their constituent steps mapped as parameters, allowing external plans to interact with them (learn more in the section on "Mapping Properties as Parameters"). Console Launch: Components can be executed directly from the console, with parameters for added flexibility. Example: The Component in ActionComponent files are identifiable by their ".comp" extension and can play pivotal roles within your data workflows.

Hi everyone, Welcome back to our best practice series on MDM. In this post, we're diving deep into the features that make MDM - so buckle up 🚘 MDM’s primary feature is its model-driven architecture. It's a domain-agnostic MDM that empowers developers to craft domain-specific MDM models. Let's break down its high-level features by type. Model-Driven ArchitectureMDM's domain-agnostic approach is complemented by vertical models (metadata templates) designed to be domain-specific. These models are not cast in stone; they are customizable and extendable to meet the unique needs of your project. To delve deeper into this model-driven marvel, check out the Model. Internal Workflow and Processing PerfectionMDM boasts a remarkable set of features:Out-of-the-box change detection on load: MDM is a keen observer. It can detect changes in source instance records by tracking their unique source IDs. If a record has changed, it triggers the MDM process for that specific record. The granularity of de
