Updated Reports Format

A new reporting format streamlines the process for generating Reports within Unify. With this change comes new export and filtering options.

 

Data Archiving and Database Maintenance

Each Unify database will now have a corresponding archive database. Logically deleted data will be moved from the live database to the archive database to reduce the active data footprint and optimise the live system's performance.

The indexes on the client systems will now be continually rebuilt during limited maintenance windows everyday.

 

Bulk Merge and Deduplication

The Bulk Merge will now automatically send data to the off-system deduplication process. Existing Bulk Deduplication contexts can be reused and rerun.

API Updates

The Unify API now supports middlename and initials fields.

The following areas of Unify have also been updated to accommodate the new fields:

• Database Schema
• Unify User Interface
• ETL Import
• Bulk Deduplication & Merge

 

Custom SQL Structured Query Language Views

A new interface allows users to set up Custom Views in a controlled manner, ensuring that naming and other required conventions are met and that enough data is stored in order for them to be recreated if required. Custom SQL views are registered as custom databases within Unify to avoid being overwritten during upgrade.

Person Profile Pivots

Unify will now pre-build Person Profile data into a pivot that is used directly by UNIT and Engage to reduce ad-hoc build requirements and improve end-to-end build time.

 

Contact Point Profile

The Profile Administration window and associated ETL Extract, Transform, Load have been updated to import and present Contact Point Profile data, selectable for viewing from the dropdown menu.

File Logger Update

Changes to the Unify FileLogger allow new Unify clients to be added to the service without requiring a restart. On start-up, the Unify FileLogger will now report any issues with a client configuration.

 

Unify Installers

To make implementation and installation of Unify and its modules easier, installers for FileLogger, the Engage Connector, and Bulk Merge modules have been developed along with a Unify Configurator tool.

 

BlueVenn Connectors

New DataSync Connectors have been built for importing data from Eloqua and Magento 2.

The Eloqua connector also includes a configuration file that enables the specification of Source Table Fields to overcome a 'number of fields' limitation within Eloqua.
