Exmon Data Management 

Hierarchies in web 

We have continued to work on the hierarchies in the web application. New features that are included in this second version of the preview are: adding children to nodes, unassigning nodes, and improving the experience when moving nodes. Additionally, we have made some smaller improvements and bug fixes. Read more about the web hierarchies this article. If you have any suggestions, please submit them here.

Execution queue change for DM’s DG action 

The Execution Queue has been added to on premise DG actions. With this change on premise Exmon users no longer require direct access to the server that should run the task but instead the execution connection polls Exmon DG for tasks to execute. This change prevents issues such as execution connection overload and firewall problems. Read more about DG actions here.

Exmon Data Governance 

Set email template as default template 

The ability to set an email template as default for the entire environment or per system has been added to DG. At the report level, if no template is specifically chosen for the report the system level default will be used. If no system level default is set the global default will be used instead. At the system and report level, the current default will be indicated in the dropdown list of templates. 

Switch from DG portal to other products 

If your account is associated with multiple Exmon services. You can now switch between them from the DG portal by clicking the service name in the top right corner.
