5.29 Open Pages, Field renaming on Plan templates, Spaces Collaboration and Connector updates
Platform Operators can now create publicly accessible Open Pages that allow unauthenticated visitors to browse and discover Data Products, without requiring an account or platform login.
With this new feature, by removing the credential barrier to be able to view products, your Marketplace can engage potential consumers earlier in their journey, moving them seamlessly from curiosity to discovery, and ultimately, to subscription.
Each Open Page is configured by a Platform Operator with a unique URL path, custom header and branding, and configurable conversion buttons (e.g. a link to your platform registration or login page).
Data Producers control which products can be added to appear on Open Pages by setting the visibility on a product to “Open”. The process of enabling this is outlined in the following slides.
Unauthenticated consumers can view product name, description, publisher, asset names, types, and metadata (columns, rows, size). Harbr’s Product Search Bar can also feature to allow visitors to search products specifically curated for that page.
When a logged-in user visits an Open Page product link, they will be redirected directly to the full product page. Only after login, are asset metadata, data dictionaries, sample data, subscription plans, and the Subscribe button available to view.
In suitable environments, Users can now collaborate on content within Spaces, such as dashboards, charts, saved SQL queries and query history.
Please note: If a Space was created prior to this release, the collaboration capability will not be enabled. For this change to apply, the Space will need to be recreated.
