Data Management and Search

Enable CMYK Rendition Generation in DAM

In the previous release, the Digital Asset Management (DAM) primarily handled assets in without supporting color space conversion between SRGB and CMYK in renditions.

In this release, the DAM enhancement addresses these limitations and enabled to support the color space conversion between sRGB and CMYK in renditions in supported formats. This also ensures that images maintain accurate color consistency across different mediums, reducing discrepancies between on-screen previews and printed results.

For more information, see Image Renditions, Scenarios - Square Padding and Image Renditions and Create Image Renditions configuration.

System Administration

Enhancements to Data Insights App (Beta)

In this release, the Data Insights app supports the following enhancements:

• Enhancements to Filters: You can filter all the OOTB reports using Entity ID and Entity Name properties.
  

• Enhancements to Entity Summary Filters: Introduced a new Relationship Attributes filter that dynamically retrieves attributes based on the selected Relationship Type or Related Entity Type. You can further apply different attribute data types to improve accuracy and relevant results.
  

• Filter data based on specific report type:
  In the previous release, all the OOTB reports displayed combined search filters, which impacted the usability and performance.
  In this release, the filters are displayed based on the specific report type.

  • The Entity Summary report displays Properties, Attributes, Relationships, and Relationship Attribute filters.
  • The Data Quality report displays Properties and Business Condition filters.
  • The Workflow SLA report displays Properties and Workflow filters.
    

• Enhanced filter limits for OOTB Reports:
  All the OOTB reports allowed an unlimited number of filters per search, which resulted in complex queries, increased execution times, and potential report timeouts or failures.
  In this release, a limit of 15 filters per search has been introduced for all the OOTB reports. The application validates the hard limit and displays a validation message if additional filters are applied.
  

• View data quality related error messages:
  A new widget, Messages is introduced in the Data Quality report, which allows you to view the data quality related messages for the selected filters. The widget displays a unique list of message code types and their descriptions based on the applied filters and dynamically displays the data whenever the filters within the report are modified.
  

• Localization of OOTB Reports:
  In this release, the application supports localization of all the OOTB reports, improving the user experience across different regions and languages. This localization includes the UI elements, messages and validations, and also view the UI elements based on the selected Interaction Locale. If the translation is unavailable, the application automatically falls back to English (en-US) locale to ensure continuity and consistency.
  

• Optimization of widgets:
  In the previous release, all the charts in each report rendered simultaneously, regardless of when their respective data was available.
  In this release, each chart will render parallelly, displaying as soon as their respective widget data is available. A new Refresh icon is displayed if any of the widget fails to load the data. You can manually refresh the widget to reload the data.
  

• Export OOTB reports in Image and PDF formats:
  In the previous release, you could download all the OOTB reports in Excel and CSV formats only.
  In this release, you can download all the OOTB reports in PDF or Image (.PNG) formats as well. The PDF download supports multi-page layouts for large reports, while image download provides high-resolution rendering. The application has been enhanced to handle errors effectively when report size exceeds the configured limits. Note that the access to download functionality is permission-controlled.

Enhanced validation framework for Metadata Modeling

In the previous release, the import validations were based on an Enhanced Model Validation tenant-level flag. Using this flag you could either enable or disable all the validations during data model import.

In this release, an extensible metadata modelling validation framework is introduced to leverage the existing tenant-level flag to enable or disable up to 50 individual validations.

For more information, see Configure to Validate Data Model Errors and Validate Errors during Data Model Imports.

Enhancements to Visualization Model Load app

In this release, the following are the UI enhancements for the Visualization Model Load app:

• Replaced the Full Load checkbox with a dropdown, allowing users to select either Delta Load or Full Load.
• Consolidated multiple configuration checkboxes into a unified Select Model Type dropdown for improved usability.
• Updated the Messages option to represent default system messages.
• Introduced a new Custom Messages option to support uploading user-defined messages for reporting.
  

Visualization Data Initial Load app is enhanced to support Data Insights

In the previous release, the Visualization Data Initial Load app supported Visual Analytics app only.

In this release, the Visualization Data Initial Load UI is enhanced to support both Visual Analytics and Data Insights data along with the existing functionality. Additionally, a new Flush & Fill checkbox is introduced to replace the existing data with the newly loaded data.

For more information, see Visualization Data Initial Load.

Unified API-based Model Orchestration for Base Data Domain Models

In the previous release, the Taxonomy Domain Module Management API was introduced, enabling applications to efficiently structure and manage taxonomy domains through standardized JSON.

In this release, a new Data Model Service has been introduced, along with enhancements to the Taxonomy Domain Module Management API’s parameter structure. Additionally, new services BaseModel Service, ContextModel Service, and EntityType Service have been added, further enabling applications to structure and manage domains through standardized JSON. The API now supports seamless data import operations, including create, update, and delete actions, as well as the ability to define and maintain associated attributes.

For more information, see Data Model Service.

Support auto-adjustment for time zone–aware schedule and improvements to the usability of maintaining schedules

• Validate Task URL:
  In this release, the application enforces strict URL validation and restricts external URL usage. While invoking tasks, only HTTP URLs that point to internal services are permitted; all other URLs are rejected.

• Daylight Saving Time Support for Schedules:
  In the previous release, the fixed interval–based schedules previously did not account for daylight saving time (DST) changes.
  In this release, a new property, dayLightSavingEnabled, has been introduced for scheduling. When enabled, schedules automatically adjust to the tenant’s local time zone, including daylight saving time transitions, ensuring consistent execution at the intended local time.

For more information, see Schedule Object Structure.

View rsintegration-system container in SAS Key Self-Service

In the previous release, the application supported container for all imports. This impacted import processing speed and overall application performance, particularly in high-volume scenarios.

To address this limitation, the application now supports the rsintegration-system container by default. In this release, the container is available through the SAS Key self-service interface, allowing users to generate and manage SAS keys for integration use cases without requiring technical support.

For more information, see Import Data using Bulk File Processing Container , View and Manage Integration Keys.

Customer MDM

Enhancements to D&B Identification process

In the previous release, when you chose to continue without D&B identification process, the status of the entities remained In Review, even though the record had effectively been reviewed.

In this release, the application allows you to choose any of the following options to skip the D&B Identification process:

• No high confidence data (default selection)
• No Data Available

A sample screenshot is displayed.

For more information, see Perform Manual Review of DnB Identified Entities.

Receive Email Notifications upon Soft Deletion of Orphaned Golden Records

In this release, the GRM app sends email notification whenever the application performs a soft delete action on Orphaned Golden Records. The email notifications are triggered when you:

• Soft delete export task completes successfully
• Soft delete export task encounters an error

For more information, see Golden Record Management.

Enhancements to the Golden Record Review (GRR) page ![Premium icon 2]

The following are the UI enhancements to the GRR page:

• View Refresh icon: A Refresh icon is now displayed in the GRR page. Click this icon to view the latest changes.

Additionally, you can configure to perform auto-refresh in the GRR page.

For more information, see Configure to perform Auto-refresh in the GRR page.

• View source information on the Golden Record:
  The GRR page displays the source information when you select Account entity type for the Golden Record Review process.

For more information, see Golden Record Management via new route.

Recompute all the unmerged Golden Records for the specified dates

In this release, the application allows you to configure a scheduler to recompute all the unmerged Golden Records. You can define a specific date range and time interval to control the recomputation process. This helps you to automate the maintenance of Golden Records and ensure that unmerged records are periodically reprocessed without requiring manual intervention.

By scheduling the recomputation, you can manage the system load more effectively and ensure data consistency by running the process during the preferred time frame.

For more information, see Create a schedule to Recompute all Unmerged Golden Records for the Specified Dates.

Enhancements to DnB Identification and DnB Enrichment App

In this release, the DnB Identification and DnB Enrichment App can be managed as independent tasks, improving modularity and maintainability. A sample screenshot of DnB identification Task Details page is displayed.

Additionally, you can also configure to view the DnB Identification and DnB Enrichment task types. A sample screenshot is displayed.

For more information see, Configure DnB Identification for UI and Enable Scheduler for DnB Identification and DnB Enrichment App.

Breaking Changes

Rate limit for uncontrolled REST API activities (Beta)

Syndigo is introducing API rate limits to ensure platform stability and consistent performance. This release enables backend throttling behaviour, where APIs may return HTTP 429 responses with Retry-After headers when thresholds are exceeded.

This is an announcement phase with no enforcement in 2026.R3, intended to provide early visibility into API usage patterns. Future releases will introduce customer dashboards (2026.R4), followed by enforcement in lower environments (2026.R5) and production (2026.R6), aligned with subscription limits.

Indicative thresholds (~5000 requests/hour, ~83/minute) are subject to refinement. Customers are encouraged to review integrations and implement retry logic with exponential backoff.

For detailed guidance, rollout plan, and FAQs, see API Rate Limiting for REST APIs (Early Announcement).

File Processing Behavior with rsintegration-system Container

The existing container is being deprecated and replaced by the container, as the new default and only supported container for blob-based imports..

Deprecation Timeline & Key Events

2026.R2 – Deprecation Announcement & Transition Start

• tenantid-import container is officially deprecated, and customer are requested to switch to rsintegration-system container
• rsintegration-system becomes the default and only supported container for all new blob-based imports.
• Customers are expected to begin migrating imports to rsintegration-system.
• OPS team support available until 2026.R4 to assist customers in obtaining SaaS keys.
• Customers may raise a service ticket to receive SaaS key details for the rsintegration-system container.
• Customers currently using multiple import containers (i.e. custom containers ) are recommended to:
  • Create separate folders within the rsintegration-system container
  • Update references accordingly.

2026.R4 – SAS Key Self-Service Enforcement

• SAS key self-service will no longer allow generation for tenantid-import.
• SAS key generation will be supported only for rsintegration-system container.
• OPS-assisted SaaS key support ends after this release.

2026.R5 – End of Support

• Support for the tenantid-import container will be fully discontinued.
• Post-2026.R5: tenantid-import will no longer be supported
  • All blob-based imports must use rsintegration-system container

Required Customer Actions

1. Migrate all blob-based imports to the rsintegration-system container.
2. Update integration references to point to:
   • rsintegration-system container
   • Folder-based structure if multiple imports are required
3. Obtain SaaS keys:
   • Via OPS support (until 2026.R4), or
   • Via self-service SAS key generation (from 2026.R4 onward)

We strongly recommend completing your migration well before 2026.R5 to avoid service disruption.

File Processing Behavior with rsintegration-system Container

• The container uses an enhanced, batch-oriented file processing model designed to improve scalability, performance, and overall system efficiency.
• Batch scheduled processing interval of 15 minutes.
• This enables parallel file processing and task consolidation, resulting in:
  • Enhanced scalability and performance
  • Reduced system load caused by excessive event and history creation
  • More optimized and controlled processing of incoming files.

Scheduled Processing Cycle

Integrations using the rsintegration-system container operate on a scheduled processing interval of 1–15 minutes.

This approach provides a controlled and predictable processing cycle for entities after ingestion, as opposed to immediate, event-driven processing.

Current Processing Model (tenantid-import)

In the existing model, files placed in the tenantid-import container are processed sequentially based on timestamp as soon as they are dropped.

Enhanced Batch-Oriented Processing

With the rsintegration-system container, file handling shifts to a batch-oriented processing model that enables:

• Parallel file processing
• Task consolidation during processing
• Improved scalability and performance
• Reduced system load caused by excessive event and history creation
• More optimized and controlled handling of incoming files

This updated model ensures a more efficient and scalable approach to file-based integrations while maintaining predictable processing behaviour.

In scenarios where the business requirement calls for near real-time integrations, the recommended approach is to leverage Azure Event Hubs for streaming the integration changes for processing
