The DCM 6.4 release adds Data Certification capability to the Data Quality Workspace. This certification is based on blueprints, of course, just like the regular audits. And it allows data providers to easily verify details related to their records (and related records).
In addition to the data certification, this release includes a lot of smaller enhancements related to:
- “My Records” list in the workspace
- Weekly remediation task notifications
- Audit message creation
- Data visualizations and dashboards
The ServiceNow certification is completed for Yokohama and Zurich.
Release Date: 2026-01-21
