What’s New in DCM 6.4

by Mikko Juola | Apr 2, 2026 | Uncategorized

Data Certification

Data Certification was the main topic of the 6.4 release. We've covered that on a different post and in an Open House event we held in January. You can check the post and the Open House recording from below:

What else is new

Other enhancements and changes are listed below, but we also had another Open House session in March, where we went through these product improvements.

Please note that most of the knowledge article links require a login.

Task Notifications

You can now set up and configure weekly summary notifications in the task configuration.

  • As an admin, you can tailor the notification introduction text yourself according to your needs.
  • For the different task configurations you can decide whether you want to send notifications or not and what is included. For example, you can include the audit messages or only have a list of tasks or include a link to workspace.
  • Easy to ask data providers to review and fix the issue in the Data Quality Workspace, as the notification provides easy access to the right place directly from your notification email!

Changes Impacting Audit Messages

R6.4 release includes two changes impacting audit messages. Now, every field condition is evaluated separately, so the audit generates both compliant and non-compliant messages for each field, giving more realistic compliance scores and improving your reporting capabilities. On the otherhand, "model conditions" no longer generate compliant audit messages, that reduces the number of compliant messages slightly.

In more detail:

  • Audit generates approximately one compliant audit message per model condition less than before.
  • Field conditions also create compliant audit messages.
  • In most cases, compliant messages per field condition lead to improved compliance scores.

Dynamic view

Dynamic form views are discontinued, so make sure you're using the new Dynamic Form Generatori instead.

DCM Admin Dashboard

DCM comes with an admin dashboard, and it helps also with troubleshooting. In this release we added the database information link.

New DCM Homepage

The functionality is mainly the same, but the look and feel are totally different!

  • Go to the workspace -link
  • Access different modules
  • Current DCM version visible
  • Updated license details
  • Provide feedback -button
  • Additional information -link

Refactored audit window

Refactored audit window is faster and provides better performance both the scheduled and on demand audits. Especially the Condition Builder loads up much faster!

In addition to these enhancements, we also squashed over 15 bugs.

With CSDM providing a prescriptive data model and DCM providing a view of our data in a consumable manner, we are able to drive the necessary changes across the bank in a non-obtrusive way, which is seen to add value to our business, not be viewed as an operational overhead.

DCM has delivered incredible value to our business by drastically accelerating application rationalization. What would have taken years to complete was achieved in just months. Its intuitive, well-designed GUI makes navigation seamless for both users and administrators. Most importantly, DCM has significantly matured our CMDB, bringing clarity and structure. We highly recommend both the product and the outstanding team at Qualdatrix.

My complex Blueprint was up and running in 10 minutes, and I got audit results immediately. It would have taken months to complete without DCM.

DCM has been central in federating our dependency mapping to technical teams, and that momentum is building. It’s been a successful first year, and we’re extending use with additional blueprints.

DCM provides transparency and a holistic view of the state of our CMDB. It helps us find and fix deviations as they happen. It's vital that with DCM, we can see the big picture as well as drill down into the details at any time. We don't have to think about how to get this data together and how to update it. Once the Blueprint is set up and the audits run, it's all there in the dashboards.

ICT Configuration Manager, Metsäliitto Cooperative

Data Content Manager is an excellent tool to measure and control data quality in your ServiceNow instance. It offers much more sophisticated data model definitions than you can get with native CMDB data quality metrics which we were using previously, and this was our main reason for the purchase. It also comes with its own audit and remediation features which make data maintenance easier. Highly recommended!
