Product Updates

Hi everyone,The Cognite Python SDK now supports Records and Streams, from cognite-sdk 8.12.0.Records give you high volume storage for structured data such as logs, events, tabular data, without overloading your knowledge graph. Streams control retention, mutability and throughput for that data. If Records is new to you, start here: https://docs.cognite.com/cdf/dm/records/concepts/records_and_streamsWhat is includedBoth APIs are fully covered:Streams: create, list, retrieve, delete Records: ingest, upsert, filter, sync, sync_resume, aggregate, deleteThis is an alpha releaseThe feature is not generally available. The SDK raises a FeaturePreviewWarning when you use it, and we may make breaking changes to the SDK without notice while we improve the ergonomics. Use it in development and test projects, not in production pipelines.We will keep it in alpha until early to mid September, before deciding on the next step. That time is there so you can test it and tell us what should change.Getting startedpip install --upgrade cognite-sdk# oruv add cognite-sdkfrom cognite.client import AsyncCogniteClientfrom cognite.client.data_classes.data_modeling.records import TimeRangeclient = AsyncCogniteClient()records = await client.data_modeling.records.filter( stream_id="historic_alarms", last_updated_time=TimeRange(gte="2026-08-01T00:00:00Z"), limit=100,)Reference docs:Streams: https://cognite-sdk-python.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/data_modeling/streams.html Records: https://cognite-sdk-python.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/data_modeling/records.html What we would like feedback onNaming and method signatures.

We have significantly increased industrial workforce capacity through precision search migration, zero-code CSV exports, and immersive 360° spatial walkthroughs. To rapidly scale use cases across the enterprise, builders can now leverage lifecycle-managed Atlas AI Skills and native agent execution to deliver a unified, intelligent experience across all Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) applications. Review the core release highlights below to discover how these advancements are accelerating time to value by making Industrial AI more robust, scalable, and accessible for the entire industrial workforce.Cognite Flows - Native and Custom apps Cognite Flows -  Custom Apps Cognite Flows - Adaptive Experiences Cognite Flows - Application Certification Cognite Flows - New Developer Experience Industrial Canvas - Symbol Library Update Industrial Canvas- Unified Project Settings for Canvas and Search  InField - Field-Ready Observations Mobile Lists Search UI - Precision Results Search UI - Download Individual and List of Instances (CSV)  Data Fusion - Integrations, Data Management, Knowledge Graph, and Data Processing & Orchestration Data Workflows - Native JSON Mapping Tasks Function- Access Scoping on Execution Level Function Apps Integrated in Workflows (UI)  Hosted Extractors: Email Alerting API  Integrations - API & UI  Cognite Connector - Simulation Run Load Balancer Functions -  Support for Private Link on GCP Clusters  Data Workflows- References in Workflows  Python SDK - Asynchronous Concurrency 3D - Industrial Street-View Spatial Inspections 3D - Forced CAD Node Rendering Atlas AI Enhancements Atlas AI: Data Analysis (Code Execution)  Atlas AI - Reusable Domain Skills Packages Atlas AI - Query Tool Atlas AI - Unified Agent Experience Across Apps  Agent as Task Type in Workflows  Cognite Flows - Native and Custom apps Feature Problem (Challenge) Solution: What You Can Do Now Cognite Flows -  Custom Apps Production Rapidly scaling use cases across your enterprise Industrial builders previously struggled to rapidly deploy and scale tailored enterprise applications inside CDF without creating security flaws or running up massive operational debt. Subject Matter Experts can leverage a robust, secure, and production-grade environment to deploy custom applications directly inside CDF. Features include an upgraded command-line interface tool and a strict two-step validation safety procedure (deploy and activate) to ensure flawless code-signing. Documentation  Cognite Flows - Adaptive Experiences Private Preview Accelerated time to value with your use cases  Every single system user used to inherit the exact same uninspiring home landing page, leaving critical site-specific knowledge siloed in workers' heads. Access an intelligent landing page that builds a personalized dashboard experience via conversational AI within under 5 minutes from first login. Teams can pin custom widgets to hit an aggressive 50% Daily Active User (DAU) organizational adoption target.Documentation     Cognite Flows - Application Certification Production Rapidly scaling use cases across your enterprise   There was no formal certification process for custom applications. Teams could deploy apps without any structured validation, creating risk around data model integrity, security, and production readiness, with no consistent bar across the builder ecosystem.  Applications undergo a verification process before deployment. Automated validation covers data model integrity, app robustness, security, and performance at scale, while selective human review handles higher-risk scenarios. Certified builders follow a verified path, ensuring every app is safe to operate in industrial environments. Documentation Cognite Flows - New Developer Experience Production Accelerated time to value with your use cases Fragmented tooling and manual UI assembly slowed industrial development. Existing tools were not designed for AI-assisted workflows, making it hard to scale innovation efficiently. A standardized Developer Toolbox with SDKs, CLI, UI components, and machine-readable documentation lets developers and AI agents build consistent, production-grade applications for both Cognite Flows and self-hosted environments. Documentation Industrial Canvas - Symbol Library Update Production Increase industrial workforce capacity  Field operators editing Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) lacked native tools, bottlenecking the creation of clean digital work packages. Access more than 300 new standard industrial symbols organized cleanly by category for rapid discovery during work package creation. Key workspace updates introduce proportional resizing and persistent color memory to automatically save the last-used shape properties. Documentation   Industrial Canvas- Unified Project Settings for Canvas and Search  Production Accelerated time to value  When visual presentations drift across different tools, users lose confidence that they are viewing the same modeled reality across the platform. Maintain a single, consistent story for your core data model (CDM) content. Cards in Canvas now reflect the exact same properties as Search, matching your Project Settings configuration perfectly. Furthermore, file connections and annotations now display user-friendly names and descriptions instead of confusing system IDs. Documentation InField - Field-Ready Observations Mobile Lists Production Increase industrial workforce capacity Workers in the field could generate new observations on their mobile devices but had no way to track existing entries on the go, resulting in massive duplicate work reports. View, filter, and track nearby location-contextual observations directly on mobile devices. This rollout transitions core field workflows to a unified industrial data model. Documentation       Search UI - Precision Results Production Increase industrial workforce capacity Broad keyword searches historically evaluated entries using a loose "OR" script, flooding engineers with irrelevant records when querying precise tag strings. All core search surfaces across CDF front-ends (Search, Canvas, Charts, 3D, and InField) have migrated behind the scenes to an implicit AND operator. Searching strings like "21-PT-10-19" now demands that all tokens match, improving query precision. Documentation  🔍  23 tv Before:  After:        Search UI - Download Individual and List of Instances (CSV)  Production Accelerated time to value  Domain specialists lacked a simple, zero-code mechanism to extract curated, filtered data models or associated relationships out of the platform for localized evaluation.  Download data lists from Search screens directly into a localized CSV file layout. Extracted tables fully capture user-configured column orders, filtered constraints, sorting layouts, and explicit download timestamps. Documentation     Data Fusion - Integrations, Data Management, Knowledge Graph, and Data Processing & Orchestration Feature Problem (Challenge) Solution: What You Can Do Now Data Workflows - Native JSON Mapping Tasks Private Preview Accelerated time to value Normalizing data structures or reshaping payloads between individual steps in a workflow traditionally demanded heavy, custom-coded external scripts. Evaluate declarative expressions directly against JSON inputs inside the core Data Workflows canvas. Users can apply quick transformations, string filters, and custom aliases natively without leaving the workflow interface. Documentation   Function- Access Scoping on Execution Level Production Reduce the amount and cost of downtime  Execution privileges were historically hard-tied to broad data write permissions, forcing teams to grant overly permissive access roles just to run pre-approved tasks. Grant explicit execution-only privileges through a standalone access level control. This cleanly separates operational execution from data modification roles, protecting your underlying data pipelines.     Function Apps Integrated in Workflows (UI)  Private Preview Accelerated time to value Teams could not utilize versioned Function Apps as a first-class, selectable task type within the Workflows UI canvas, limiting onboarding automation velocity.  Execute Function Apps as native tasks directly within the drag-and-drop Workflows UI editor. Built on top of CDF Functions infrastructure, this packaging model exposes strongly typed parameters, specific path methods, and versioned compute configurations.  Hosted Extractors: Email Alerting API  Public Preview Reduce the amount and cost of downtime  Hosted extractors lacked an integrated notification layer to match on-premises setups, forcing data engineering teams to manually poll pipeline statuses to detect job failures.  Proactively configure automated notification sinks and alert subscriptions for specific extraction jobs via the Signals API. Teams automatically receive email notifications when a hosted REST extractor enters a failure or error state. Documentation  Integrations - API & UI  Private Preview Increase industrial workforce capacity  Traditional extraction pipelines required data engineers to manually access physical VMs to restart service tasks whenever remote configuration files were updated.  Manage remote connectors using a single, unified Integrations surface that automatically pulls configuration adjustments and pushes live statuses without manual restarts. Provides task-level visibility into run history, errors, and system health. Documentation  Cognite Connector - Simulation Run Load Balancer Public Preview Increase industrial workforce capacity  Simulator routines were hard-bound to specific connector pipelines, triggering massive backlog timeouts during peak industrial usage periods. Routes are dynamically queued and picked up by any healthy, available connector. Scale your simulation throughput horizontally by inserting new backend connectors without touching original routine layouts. Documentation Functions -  Support for Private Link on GCP Clusters  Production Reduce the amount and cost of downtime  Enterprise customers utilizing Private Link on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) clusters for strict network isolation were unable to route traffic from Cognite Functions across the hyperscaler backbone.  Configure Cognite Functions traffic routing to natively utilize Private Link architectures on GCP setups. This ensures that all automated computing traffic remains on protected network paths, eliminating public internet interception risks. Data Workflows- References in Workflows  Production Accelerated time to value  Defining dynamic variables inside the data workflows editor was prone to errors, forcing users to type out long, highly specific syntax links manually from memory.  Assemble complex dynamic parameter strings error-free using a visual Reference Picker directly inside the workflow canvas. The UI automatically populates eligible input and output references for Transformation, Function, and Agent tasks. Documentation  Python SDK - Asynchronous Concurrency Production Increase industrial workforce capacity Handling massive batch operations asynchronously inside local workspaces required developers to manually script complex concurrency patterns. Upgrade seamlessly to Python SDK version 8, unlocking fully integrated async client features out of the box. The update optimizes concurrent data downloads and delivers significantly faster file uploads on Windows machines. Documentation 3D - Industrial Street-View Spatial Inspections Production Increase industrial workforce capacity Verticals like discrete manufacturing and pharma often have detailed indoor environments lacking heavy 3D CAD files, making traditional 3D engines feel flat and unnatural.  Walk through plants using an advanced 360° image walkthrough system. The engine introduces depth cursoring over underlying point clouds, ground-level markers to prevent view blockage, and automatic snapping to the closest capture view. Documentation    3D - Forced CAD Node Rendering Private Preview Reduce the amount and cost of downtime  Dynamic viewport engines stripped down fine-grain geometric detailing during wide facility loads, removing structural visibility for field design reviews. Explicitly target up to 100,000 critical structural nodes to remain fully rendered at high detail across all viewport zoom distances. This prevents visual rendering errors during sensitive site construction evaluations.  Documentation   Atlas AI Enhancements Feature Problem (Challenge) Solution: What You Can Do Now Atlas AI: Data Analysis (Code Execution)  Public Preview Rapidly scaling use cases across your enterprise  Context caps limited assistant queries to small, 100-row batches, causing agents to drop analytical history threads mid-conversation. Atlas AI can write, test, and run internal scripts against massive datasets up to 5,000 objects simultaneously. The system remembers the conversational state across iterative questions to build unified statistical trends. Documentation  Atlas AI - Reusable Domain Skills Packages Production Accelerated time to value  Domain knowledge and specific root-cause analysis logic had to be configured by hand inside separate agent prompts, making configurations bloated and patterns un-reusable.  Package specific domain expertise into reusable, lifecycle-managed assets called Atlas Skills. Builders can rapid-assemble virtual assistants by composing existing skills instead of starting from scratch.  Documentation Atlas AI - Query Tool Production Accelerated time to value  Agents searching through extensive graph spaces required deep upfront schema maps, slowing responses and trapping agents on pre-defined paths. Deploy an intelligent query tool that completely auto-discovers graph data models, inspects properties, and reads available views independently without manual pre-configuration. Requires updating agent runtime to V3. Documentation    Atlas AI - Unified Agent Experience Across Apps  Production Increase industrial workforce capacity AI assistants behaved differently across individual apps, forcing users to constantly re-learn chat commands depending on their screen view. Execute configured AI agents defined through Atlas AI as native steps within your data processing pipelines. This allows data teams to feed the direct output of a transformation task into an agent prompt for advanced processing. Documentation  Agent as Task Type in Workflows  Private Preview Rapidly scaling use cases across your enterprise  Currently there is no provision to execute agents from workflow which limits users to operationalize and scale their use cases.  Execute configured AI agents defined through Atlas AI as native steps within your data processing pipelines. This allows data teams to feed the direct output of a transformation task into an agent prompt for advanced processing.   For a comprehensive list of all technical updates, improvements, and bug fixes, view the full Q2 Release Notes. 

We've just released v4.5.0 of the Cognite Data Source for Grafana, with a focus on making Core Data Model (CDM) the default path for new dashboards and bringing operational context (Activities) into your time series charts. This release builds on v4.4.0 and consolidates several capabilities that make Grafana a stronger fit for teams already working in CDM, or planning to migrate.What's new in v4.5.0Activities tab - a new query tab that lets you query CogniteActivity records directly in the editor, with filtering by Asset, Equipment, or TimeSeries. No GraphQL required. Activity annotations - overlay activities as shaded time regions directly on CogniteTimeSeries charts. Useful for visualising maintenance windows, planned downtime, or operational events alongside sensor data. Numeric time series auto-detection in the Data Models (GraphQL) tab - results with type "numeric" automatically fetch datapoints from CDF, removing a manual step in dashboard setup. Config editor overhaul - settings are now reorganised into Connection and Features tabs, CDM features are enabled by default for new datasources, and CDM/legacy toggles are now mutually exclusive (no more conflicting configs).Recap from v4.4.0 (still relevant if you haven't upgraded)CogniteTimeSeries tab - search and select time series directly from CDM with a single View dropdown, including unit conversion support. GraphQL variables - use Data Model GraphQL queries to drive Grafana template variables, enabling dynamic dashboard filtering and selection patterns.How to get startedIf you're on a new datasource, CDM features are on by default. If you're upgrading an existing datasource, head to your Cognite data source configuration, open the Features tab, and enable Core Data Model features.Existing dashboards built on legacy query tabs will continue to run.Documentation: https://docs.cognite.com/cdf/dashboards/guides/grafana/getting_startedWho this is forThis release is especially useful if you're:Migrating an existing project to CDM and need your Grafana dashboards to come along Building new dashboards and want to start from CDM rather than legacy asset-centric tabs Looking to overlay operational context (maintenance, downtime, events) on your sensor charts without leaving Grafana Using GraphQL and modeled context to drive dashboard variables and filteringWhat we'd like to hear from youWe're shipping CDM support iteratively and learning as we go. If you try v4.5.0, we'd value feedback on:How the Activities tab and annotations fit into your existing dashboards Anything that feels missing compared to your legacy workflows Friction in the new config editor or the CDM/legacy switch Use cases where GraphQL variables would unlock something you can't do today

Have you seen it? In our last release, we added support for File Upload through the Search application. The goal is to remove a hindrance to daily use by allowing single-file uploads for non-technical users of Cognite Data Fusion.While most data in Cognite Data Fusion is ingested through structured pipelines, there was a need to enable individual Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to upload data directly. This allows non-technical users, such as Reliability Engineers, to add valuable information for future reference.As of earlier this year, we have support for file uploads through the Search application and for using Search as a resource selector (e.g., in Canvas or Charts). This is available for Data Modeling Files. We ensured to add governance around file uploads: Only available through use of Location(s) The Location needs to have File Upload space added to the Location configThe individual user will see the File Upload option for Files if the location they have selected has a File Upload space and they themselves have permission to write data to that spaceThe individual user will see Files uploaded by other users if they have permission to read from the File Upload spaceWe covered this feature in the March’26 release notes:  Upload files directly in Search. The upload option is available after your admin configures the space for file uploads in Admin > Project settings > Locations > Configure > Space for file upload. Only one space can be set per location. Once you upload files, they may take a moment to appear. Upload is available only for data modeling views. Let me know if you have questions regarding File Upload - we would love to see it in use!Best, Sofie, Product Manager 

We’re deprecating the totalVariation aggregate function for numeric time series in Cognite Data Fusion, effective April 20, 2027. This follows Cognite’s 12-month deprecation policy for GA features: between now and that date the aggregate will continue to function as documented, and after it, requests that include totalVariation will return an error. The change applies to requests to the time series data list endpoint (/timeseries/data/list).If your integrations rely on totalVariation, directly via the API, through an SDK, or in dashboards and derived pipelines, please review them before April 20, 2027 and migrate to another aggregate.If totalVariation is important to a workflow in your organization and none of the alternative aggregates fit, reply to this thread or reach out to your Cognite representative. It helps us most if you can share:The use case and what the output drives (dashboard, alert, calculation, report). The time series volume and aggregation granularity involved. Whether computing the value client-side from raw data points is feasible for your setup.

Today, we released a ton of improvements to the Cognite Toolkit. Here is what you should know about the fresh v0.8 version: Better performance: Substantial refactoring has led to faster execution, especially for build, deploy, and data transfer commands. Enhanced Deployment: The deploy command is now forward-compatible with the API, ensuring proper property handling. Clearer Validation: Output is now easier to read and provides richer guidance for both you and your agents.  NEAT Intelligence: You’ll notice more recommendations and auto-fixes for Data Modeling performance and scalability, powered by built-in NEAT logic. Module Scaling: Reusing modules is easier with the module repeat feature, allowing you to deploy a module multiple times using site-specific variables. New Plugins: To streamline the experience, we’ve moved development features to cdf dev ... and data features to cdf data ....Other nice-to-knows:Auth breaking changes: In cdf auth init, we have removed the --no-verify and --dry-run flags. Command Updates: cdf dump asset/timeseries has been retired. Use cdf data download assets/timeseries instead. CSV Handling: You can no longer build/deploy assets in .csv format; please use cdf data upload for those files. GA Status: Support for Streams and Simulators is now officially GA.We continue to release improvements and new resource types frequently. Most of these features have been available behind alpha flags for a while - thank you to our eager users for the constant feedback!

While most data in Cognite Data Fusion flows through structured pipelines, we know that critical insights often live with your experts.To empower non-technical users, like Reliability Engineers, we have introduced Direct File Upload. This allows Subject Matter Experts to instantly upload resources (such as a Root Cause Analysis template, a report etc.) directly into the Search UI or through resource selectors in tools like Canvas.This feature was released on 3 March 2026.   Admin governance & setupTo ensure these files remain organized and secure, Admins must first define a destination for each Location for the File Upload option to appear. The File Upload option will only appear for users once this is configured.To enable this feature:Go to Admin Workspace > Project Settings. Select Locations > Configure. Define which Space should be used for all file uploads in that location.How permissions workAccess is controlled through the permissions of the destination Space you’ve selected:Who can upload? Users who have Write access to the configured Space. Who can view? Users who have Read access to that Space.Where is it visible? In the Search UI and as a Resource Selector (specifically for Data Modeling File Views, e.g File upload to Asset-centric File resource is not supported).Looking forward to seeing this highly requested feature in use!

We are thrilled to announce the Beta release of our new Simulator UI within Cognite Data Fusion (CDF). For too long, high-fidelity simulation runs have been locked behind a "technical wall" of complex APIs and developer-only workflows. Not anymore.We are handing the keys to the Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). Whether you’re optimizing production or running custom models, you can now orchestrate the future of your assets without writing a single line of code. From API-First to SME-ReadyPreviously, our simulator connector integrations required deep technical knowledge to configure and run. Our new interface replaces manual API calls with a sleek, intuitive workspace. Visual Logic Orchestration: The Routine BoardThe heart of this release is the Routine Board. SMEs can now visually map out simulation sequences, setting inputs, defining calculation steps, and extracting results using a drag-and-drop interface.

We are excited to announce the Q1 2026 release of Cognite Data Fusion (CDF). This quarter, our focus is on breaking down technical barriers for Subject Matter Experts and providing a more immersive, high-precision data experience.Empowering SMEs: The New Simulators UI (Beta) Simulators UI (Beta) Immersive Data Exploration & 3D Context Chart - Activities 3D - MiniMap 3D - Experience in Search Smarter Search & Precision Tools Search -  Smarter Results Search - File Upload Records - Unit-Aware (Beta) Atlas AI: Continuity & Control Atlas - Conversation History Atlas - Per Agent Granular Access Control Performance & Readiness Canvas - Performance 3D - Browser Caching Diagram Parsing - Tag Detection Transformations - Full Metrics in Run History Looking Forward: Production-Grade Tailored SolutionsEmpowering SMEs: The New Simulators UI (Beta)We are transitioning from a "Code-First" to a "User-First" approach for industrial simulations. Feature Problem (Challenge) Solution: What You Can Do Now Simulators UI (Beta) SMEs are currently blocked by a "technical wall," where simulator connectors remain locked behind APIs that can be configured only by developers. Empower SMEs to independently configure their own models and use a no-code "Routine Board" for drag-and-drop visual logic orchestration.   Routine builder  Immersive Data Exploration & 3D ContextCorrelating data trends with the physical world is critical for efficient troubleshooting. Feature Problem (Challenge) Solution: What You Can Do Now Chart - Activities Industrial users struggle to correlate data trends with real-world operational events. Overlay activity types, such as work orders, directly onto time series in Charts to instantly connect anomalies with the "why". Documentation 3D - MiniMap When navigating 3D scenes in Search, it is easy to lose orientation and real-world context. Use customizable real-time minimaps to track camera position and "fast-travel" through the scene by clicking destinations on the map. Documentation 3D - Experience in Search Users previously lacked 3D scenes in search previews, leaving them without context for model placement. View 3D Scenes and 360-degree images directly in the search preview to gain immediate context for a selected Location. Documentation  Smarter Search & Precision ToolsWe’ve overhauled our search and resource management to prioritize accuracy and ease of use. Feature Problem (Challenge) Solution: What You Can Do Now Search -  Smarter Results (opt-in beta, and GA April 2026) Standard search often fails to handle partial industrial tags or returns broad, inaccurate results for complex strings. Benefit from advanced "Industrial Parsing" and prefix matching that prioritizes result accuracy over quantity. This is applicable for search on Core Data Model. Search - File Upload SMEs lacked a simple way to upload individual files, such as RCA templates, without relying on technical pipelines. Upload single files directly through the Search UI and use Search as a resource selector in tools like Industrial Canvas. Upload is available only for data modeling views. Records - Unit-Aware (Beta) Users must manually convert sensor values when querying, filtering, or displaying data across different unit systems. Perform unit-aware querying, filtering, and aggregation within Records to eliminate the need for custom unit-conversion code. Documentation   Atlas AI: Continuity & ControlOur AI agents are now more persistent and easier to manage within your existing workspace. Feature Problem (Challenge) Solution: What You Can Do Now Atlas - Conversation History Atlas agents didn't retain session history, forcing users to restart workflows and lose context. Continue past chats where you left off or work across multiple parallel conversations without losing context. Atlas - Per Agent Granular Access Control Previously, all agents were visible to every user, and only creators could modify them. Configure specific read, write, and run rights on a per-agent basis to ensure users only interact with authorized agents.  Performance & ReadinessWe continue to optimize our core tools to ensure they are production-ready and provide full transparency into pipeline health. Feature Problem (Challenge) Solution: What You Can Do Now Canvas - Performance Increased load on Industrial Canvas caused sub-optimal load times and high memory consumption. Experience a 50% average reduction in load times and up to 40% less memory usage during loading. 3D - Browser Caching Increasing 3D data volumes led to performance degradation and suboptimal load times for large scenes. Utilize client-side browser caching for CAD and point cloud data to enable 63% faster 360 image loading and 52% less data transfer, providing instant loading for returning users Diagram Parsing - Tag Detection Tag detection wasn't ready for Data Modeling, blocking users from migrating from asset-centric models. Use production-ready tag detection for Data Modeling with built-in per-file parsing status. Documentation  Transformations - Full Metrics in Run History The UI previously showed limited metrics, making it difficult to fully debug issues or track specific rate limits. Access the full library of API-tracked metrics, including searchable selectors, directly within the Transformations Run History UI.  Looking Forward: Production-Grade Tailored SolutionsBeyond this release, we are building a future where tailored industrial applications are delivered with unprecedented speed and precision. We are evolving our platform to support production-grade, tailored solutions that can be deployed natively in just days. Rapid Delivery of Industrial WorkflowsWe are targeting the "long tail" of industrial use cases, thousands of small and medium-sized workflows that deliver significant value but were previously too complex to build.Tailored Experiences: Moving from generic interfaces to AI-first, agentic user experiences designed for specific roles like reliability engineers or maintenance supervisors. Native Deployment: Fully featured applications deployed directly as part of the Cognite product stack. Immediate Value: Targeting 100X faster deployment times and up to 80% lower costs by automating the generation of industrial applications.Compounding the Value of Your Industrial DataThis new capability is built on the foundation of the Industrial Knowledge Graph and Atlas AI. Instead of creating new data silos, these tailored applications write insights and outcomes back into the knowledge graph. This ensures that every workflow contributes to a growing, unified body of industrial knowledge that can be scaled across the entire enterprise. Ready to dive deeper? Check out our Release Notes  

Hi everyone!We know that for an end-user, finding data shouldn't feel like a "needle in a haystack" mission. Last summer, we launched Per-Project Search Configuration, and if you haven't set it up yet, your team might be missing out on a much cleaner experience.As a Project Admin, you can curate what your users see when they sign in to Search. Instead of a generic view of data that maps 1:1 to your detailed data model definition, you can hand-deliver the most relevant data. Why configure your categories? Instant clarity: Define exactly which columns appear first. No more side-scrolling to find the "Status" or "ID." Relevant filtering: Hide the noise. Display only the filters that actually matter for that specific category. Context at a glance: Tailor the "Properties" card so the most crucial metadata is front and center. Quick guide: Check access: Ensure you have appconfig:read/write and app-scope = Search. Your users also need appconfig:read to make the config take effect for them.  Finding the config options: Go to Admin workspace > Project Settings > Categories. Configure: Pick a category and hit + Add.  Pro Tip 💡: After you update the columns, remind your users to hit "Reset" in their search column selector to see your shiny new layout!Ready to clean up your search? Full Guide here: https://docs.cognite.com/cdf/configure/project_settings/  Have you tried?

Understanding the inner workings of your data pipelines is key to taking action to improve performance and debug issues. To give you better visibility, we’ve unlocked the full library of transformation metrics directly in the Transformations Run History UI.Previously, the UI only showed a few key metrics. Now, you can access everything the API tracks-from specific rate limits to granular resource updates-right from the graph.Navigate to the Run history tab in the Transformations UI, and select more metrics as shown in the images below.  What’s New?Searchable Metric Selector: Use the new dropdown to find exactly what you need. With the new search bar, you can quickly filter through long lists of metrics if you're working with multiple tables or data models. Smart Defaults: To keep things clean, your most important metrics (like reads, updates, and total requests) are still shown by default. Everything else is just a click away.Identifying Efficiency GainsThis update makes it easier to track the instances.upsertedNoop metric we recently introduced. By comparing "upserted" vs. "upsertedNoop," you can see exactly how much data is being re-written unnecessarily. High "No-op" counts are a clear sign that you can save time and compute costs by using smarter, incremental loading.Give it a try!Head over to your Transformations Run History today to explore these new insights. We’re always looking to improve, so please share your questions or feedback in the comments below!
