Dawiso, the all-in-one platform for modern data governance, has released version 2025.5. This update introduces expanded automation capabilities, and enhanced support for package customization through comprehensive documentation. It also brings user interface refinements and improved permission handling, making Dawiso even more aligned with the needs of enterprise environments.
In data governance, a lot of work still happens manually. Like tagging objects, updating statuses, and assigning owners. It’s time-consuming, repetitive, and often unrealistic to expect teams to do it all by hand. That’s why we have built our enhanced automation in Dawiso.
With the 2025.5 update, Dawiso now supports smarter automation rules that reduce manual effort and help you keep your metadata consistent. Automate things like tagging, ownership assignment, workflow approvals, and notifications, based on specific events, conditions, or schedules.
Imagine scanning a new database and tagging one table as containing GDPR-sensitive data (PII). Instead of manually tagging every related object across layers, Dawiso can now automatically tag all connected elements, such as input tables or source objects, with the same classification. It’s fast, consistent, and a huge time-saver.
The same applies to workflows. For example:
You define the rules, Dawiso does the rest.
With each release, our automation engine is getting closer to acting like a digital data steward. One that follows your governance rules and saves your team time. When set up well, automation can save up to 2 hours per week for data stewards, letting them focus on higher-value tasks instead of repetitive tagging and updates.
This release expands on earlier capabilities by introducing even more triggers and actions. You can now detect changes across related objects and run actions like attribute updates, workflow transitions, and notifications, even Tableau writebacks, with minimal effort.
To simplify environment configuration, Dawiso has launched a new Quick Start guide for Packages. This documentation will provide you a step-by-step guide to configuring Dawiso. Packages are low-code building blocks that define applications, dashboards, icons, and more. They allow admins to tailor Dawiso to fit their organization’s structure, terminology, and governance processes.
The new documentation includes tutorials on:

Refined notifications
To improve focus and clarity, Dawiso now shows a compact “9+” badge for notification counts above nine. Users can also filter their notifications to display only unread messages.
Copy object with children
Users can now duplicate any object and optionally include all its child elements. This is especially useful when duplicating templates or creating similar documentation or data models.
Disable page access requests
In enterprise environments using external identity and access management tools like Active Directory, Dawiso now supports turning off access request buttons. Admins can configure a custom message to appear instead, directing users to internal access procedures.
