We are pleased to share the latest improvements in Tamr Cloud, including improvements to the user interface for Scheduler and data product templates.

In addition to general usability improvements, we made the following improvements in Tamr Cloud.

Improved Scheduler User Interface

We made some changes to the user interface of Scheduler, to improve your experience.

The old look:

The new look:

As you can see, we improved the ability to select different frequencies with which to run your tasks. See Automating Tasks for more detail.

Improved Data Product Templates

The following changes are available in newly created new data products:

Legal Entity Mastering Template

• The template has been has been improved, to include consideration of the URL in the clustering model, and Website domain standardization:
  • We added url to the unified schema in the Schema Mapping step, as a standard, required attribute.
  • The clustering model now considers the similarity of url values when identifying source records that refer to the same entity.
  • The template now includes a Standardize URL transformation, which provides a cleaned version of the website domain in url attribute values. The cleaned domain is available in the Website Domain field in the mastered entity.
• Users now have more control over which records are clustered together. This template now includes a unified trusted_id attribute, to which you can map source columns that contain a unique record identifier, such as an Employer Identification Number (EIN) or internal identification number. The model always clusters records with the same trusted_id together, and does not cluster records with different trusted_ids together. Records will null/empty trusted_ids are clustered with similar records as usual by the model, meaning that they may be clustered with records that have a trusted_id.

See the latest Legal Entity mastering documentation.

Contacts Mastering Template

• The template includes a new version of the address enrichment service, called Address Standardization, Validation, and Geocoding. This service provides powerful, accurate address matching, and returns a Google Place ID for matching addresses as well as location geocoding.
• A new mastered entity field, All Roles, provides professional title and related organization name values from clustered source records.
• Users now have more control over which records are clustered together. This template now includes a unified trusted_id attribute, to which you can map source columns that contain a unique record identifier, such as a Social Security Number or internal identification number. The model always clusters records with the same trusted_id together, and does not cluster records with different trusted_ids together. Records will null/empty trusted_ids are clustered with similar records as usual by the model, meaning that they may be clustered with records that have a trusted_id.

See the latest Contact mastering documentation.

People Mastering Template

• The template includes a new version of the address enrichment service, called Address Standardization, Validation, and Geocoding. This service provides powerful, accurate address matching, and returns a Google Place ID for matching addresses as well as location geocoding.
• Users now have more control over which records are clustered together. The existing trusted_id attribute now always clusters records together that have the same trusted_id value. The model does not cluster records with different trusted_ids together. Records will null/empty trusted_ids are clustered with similar records as usual by the model, meaning that they may be clustered with records that have a trusted_id.

See the latest People mastering documentation.

Recent Improvements

Curator

• The records of the columns for the primary entity you are viewing and the records of its Selected & Similar entities now appear in the same order, making for an easier viewing experience.
• You can now filter to Is blank, Is not blank, Is null and Is not null.
• The icons for pending changes now show on main Curator page.

Known Issues

The way metrics (for example the source dataset count) are calculated is in the process of being updated. These metrics may appear as “--” for the time being.
