New Features
| Component | Title | Description | Issue Key |
|---|---|---|---|
| DQ Workspace | Define audiences for DQ Workspace | Introduced dedicated Data Quality Workspace audiences and roles for Data Owners and Data Providers to tailor workspace navigation and views. For Data Owners, the new role is x_jugr_dcm.ws_data_owner. | DCM-3009 |
| DQ Workspace | Create a Data Provider selection for the Data Owner Workspace | Added a Data Provider selector for Data Owners in the Data Quality Workspace, allowing data owners to view data from the perspective of providers in their domains. | DCM-3011 |

Changes
| Component | Title | Description | Issue Key |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCM Reporting | Recreate Scheduled (license) Reports with Platform Analytics | Monthly “DCM License Reports” have been reimplemented as Platform Analytics Scheduled Exports, replacing the Scheduled Reports they used to be. | DCM-2801 |
| DQ Workspace | Remove “DCM Home” and dashboard links from the Quick Links in the workspace | Streamlined Quick Links in the Data Quality Workspace by removing DCM Home and My Data Quality Dashboard links. | DCM-3024 |
Enhancements
| Component | Title | Description | Issue Key |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCM Blueprint Designer | Enable dot-walking on Data Consumer config in Blueprint Designer | Blueprint Designer now supports dot-walking for Data Consumer field configuration on root classes. | DCM-2960 |

| DCM Notifications | Add personal data quality metrics into email notifications | Weekly Remediation Task Summary Notification can now include personalized data quality metrics. The scheduled job that generates the Weekly Summary Notification for open DCM Tasks can now calculate audit statistics for each task assignee (data provider) and pass them to the notification as event parameters. These statistics are not included in the default email notification, but can be configured according to the related knowledge article. | DCM-2515 |
| DCM Blueprint Designer | Add “condition label” to Target Record Conditions | Added support for custom condition labels in Target Record Conditions to display human-readable descriptions in audit messages. | DCM-1749 |

| DCM Audit | Use max target multiplicity to limit record query | Audits now utilize maximum target multiplicity limits to optimize record queries and prevent excessive related record discovery. Records exceeding the maximum will generate a “system message” and skip the remaining relationships. | DCM-2800 |
| DCM Audit | Change the default audit schedule to Weekly (it’s now defaulting to Daily) | Updated Audit Schedules to use Weekly scheduling as the default. | DCM-2966 |
| DCM Blueprint Designer | Increase field length for Field Conditions | Previously, condition strings were limited to 255 characters, which could result in truncated conditions. Now, the limit is 1000 characters, allowing more complex conditions throughout the Blueprint Designer. | DCM-3021 |
| DCM Audit | Show “expiration time” label on the Scheduled Audits list | Added an ‘expiration time’ badge on the Scheduled Audits list for audit schedules configured with non-default expiration durations. | DCM-3028 |

| DCM Data Certification | Add short description to Certification Tasks | Populated Certification Task short descriptions with the audited record name, enabling alphabetical sorting and easier task identification. | DCM-2759 |
| DCM Data Certification | Add “Open record into new window” link-icon to all records on the certification page | Added an ‘Open in new window’ icon next to audited and all related records on the Data Certification page for quicker record inspection. | DCM-2772 |

| DCM Data Certification | Add “Audit Instance Filter” for Certification Task Configs (like we have in Remediation Tasks) | Added an Audit Instance Filter to Certification Task configurations to control which audit executions generate certification tasks. | DCM-2976 |
| DCM Data Certification | Populate Configuration Item field on Certification Tasks, when an Audited Record is a CI | Certification tasks now automatically populate the Configuration Item (cmdb_ci) field whenever the audited record is a Configuration Item. | DCM-2977 |
| DCM Data Certification | Redesign relating records for links in data Certification Entries (and Remediation too) | Redesigned related record management in Certification and Remediation with inline typeahead search, an append-only selection modal, and a contextual side panel with persistent record counters. | DCM-2991 |
| DCM Data Certification | Data Certification should update Attested Date and Attested By Fields on Configuration Items | Use DCM Data Certification to update attestation/certification-related fields on Audited Records. For example, DCM Certification Tasks can update the Attested and Attested by fields on Configuration Items when the certification task is completed. | DCM-2998 |
| DCM Main Page | Add Certification Task Configs to the DCM Home page | Added direct navigation to Certification Task Configurations on DCM Home and renamed DCM task configurations to Remediation Task Configurations. | DCM-2767 |
| DCM Remediation Tasks | Remediation Task auto-closure should consider UAM statuses better | Improved remediation task auto-closure logic to automatically set status to Closed Complete or Closed Incomplete based on underlying audit message outcomes. | DCM-2912 |
| DCM Reporting | Additional Group by options to data visualizations | Added additional ‘Group by’ options across DCM data visualizations and dashboards. | DCM-2963 |
| DQ Workspace | Add count to “My Records” list | Added record and audit message counters to the ‘My Records’ list in Data Quality Workspace, including total and filtered counts. | DCM-2830 |
| DQ Workspace | Change the wording on “My Records” list to better sync with records and UAMs | Updated messaging on the ‘My Records’ list to clearly explain query limits based on associated audit messages. | DCM-2926 |
| DQ Workspace | Add support to “IP Address” type of field for Remediator | Previously, IP Address field type was not supported by the remediator/certification component, but they also work within a Field setup and can be remediated just like other field types. | DCM-2997 |

| DQ Workspace | Remove “extra elements” from the Certification page | The certification page no longer shows unnecessary headers for elements that don’t exist in the blueprint. | DCM-2898 |
| DCM Data Certification | Disable the certification task rejection | Added configuration options to disable task-level rejection on Data Certification tasks. System Admins can disable rejections globally, and task managers can disable rejections per task configuration. | DCM-3005 |
| DCM Remediation Tasks | Add audited record conditions to Remedy Fix Approval rules | Added support for audited record conditions and dynamic approver field resolution (with dot-walking) in fix approval rules. This allows different users to approve fixes for different records when using the same blueprint. | DCM-3039 |
Bug Fixes

| DQ Workspace | Life Cycle Stage Status values are not dependent on Stage | Changes in the ServiceNow security rules originated a new issue with the dependent fields. We fixed the issue for Life Cycle Stage Status choices that were not properly filtered by the selected Stage. | DCM-3031 |

Known Issues
- After upgrading to DCM R26.10, the My Data Domains Dashboard may include extra elements, especially on the Remediation tab. The dashboard layout must be fixed manually.
- The scheduled job that generates Remediation Task notifications does not support the “let” keyword and therefore does not work. “let” keywords must be replaced with “var” in the DCM – Weekly Summary on Open DCM Tasks to Assignees scheduled job. This issue will be fixed in a Brazil patch, hotfix release planned for late November, early December.
