Available under Admin > Utilities, Metadata Propagation Rules is our big feature of the release, which can propagate metadata from a source Dataset or manually to such Metadata properties, like Custom Fields, Glossary Terms, Tags, Certification, and much more. There are two propagation methods supported: based on tables and columns or Report Names and IDs. You can trigger propagation immediately form an Editor or wait until the Dataset update runs. It is a powerful feature that allows to make multiple changes is an effortless way.

We continue to expand the capabilities and enhance the look of our MI Console. One of this release's biggest breakthroughs is enabling LDAP, one of the user sync methods, completely via MI Console. The logic is still the same, but the configuration is much simpler now, with no need to use CLI. We will continue to focus on making system administration as easy as possible by adding more user sync methods to MI Console in future releases.

On the Customize Tab of the Burst Editor, you can now establish priority among Bursts within a given Notification Schedule. Processing Priority can be set to "High", "Medium", or "Low". High-priority Bursts will be processed first, which helps ensure that important Bursts reach their recipients on time.

The new Catalog List setting adds more flexibility to customization for Themes by allowing to set the number of columns on your Homepage in List View. You can also set the maximum number of Tiles to display before warning is shown at the bottom of the page. Additionally, you can control if you want to display icons for:

• Favorites/Folders/Categories;
• Discoverable content;
• Certification;
• Content Type.

List View is available for embedding. The additional implemented parameters are:

• hide_filter_panel
• hide_hierarchy
• hide_announcements

Additional customization options, including custom links, are now available for the User menu. You can decide which menu items to show, which resources to link to, or even hide those completely. Available under Themes > Menus, these options introduce more flexibility on top of the previously implemented settings that allow you to show or hide the Content menu based on a User type.
