Contextual Data Mashup Enhancements in Flexera One IT Visibility

We’re excited to share the next wave of improvements coming to the Contextual Data Mashup for Flexera One IT Visibility, has been released on Jun 17th. These enhancements are driven directly by feedback from enablement teams and customers who adopted the initial version of contextual data mashups and will make contextualizing—and governing—your inventory data even simpler.

What’s New

• Dataset Schema Visibility: You can now view the full schema of any uploaded data set, including column names, data types, and key attributes—directly within the UI. This eliminates the need to use external tools such as Postman or Altair to invoke the CDS public APIs for schema information, accelerating pre-validation before you upload a dataset and ensuring the data is accurately structured for downstream use.
• Comprehensive Audit Details: Every create or update action now records who performed it (whether a user or a service account) and when it occurred. This end-to-end traceability is particularly valuable for automated scripts running under service accounts, enabling quick investigation in case of incorrect contextual data feed into the lake house.
• Improved Error Handling: A new “Uploaded with Errors” status distinguishes partial failures from full failures. Row-level error logs clearly identify which records require attention, allowing teams to correct and re-upload only the failed rows. This targeted remediation reduces rework, shortens resolution times, and maintains data quality.

Impact - These updates provide:

• Greater Transparency – On-demand schema views help ensure data is correctly structured before any updates to existing datasets
• Improved Governance – Clear audit trails simplify investigations and support compliance efforts.
• Faster Remediation – Granular error reporting reduces the time required to correct and re-upload data
