New and updated features

​

Cognite Data Fusion

• In Search, we’ve made these improvements:
  • The first time you search for data, you’re prompted to select a location filter. Users who haven’t selected a location filter, must choose between the system default (not limited by location) and data filtered to selected locations.
  • View more instances at once with the improved table view. Tables are more compact, and scrolling within the table keeps column headers, filters, and view options visible.
  • Switch to grid view when viewing data modeling files.
  • Click an annotation to automatically zoom to its location in the file. Selected annotations highlight for easier identification.
  • URLs in any property or metadata field appear as clickable links, including in list views, tables, and widgets.
  • The annotation panel in preview mode is hidden by default to maximize document viewing space.
• The 3D view has a new option for automatic diameter measurements under the Measurements tool, and you can save default settings for your scenes. These settings persist across sessions.
• In Canvas, we’ve improved the connection line display logic. When document annotations point to the same destination document, their lines are merged into a single line between the documents. Connection lines are angled at 90 degrees and route around other documents and elements on the canvas instead of overlaying them, making the canvas more readable. When you hover over a connection line, it highlights, and other lines fade.

• In Data workflows, we’ve made these improvements:
  • Validate your workflow definitions before you publish. Select the On-demand validation button to check for errors, or let the system validate automatically when you publish. Any errors appear in the user interface with details about the location and error type.
  • View workflow triggers as canvas nodes to see your complete workflow. Select a scheduled trigger to pause or resume it.
• In Transformations, the run history displays a No operations metric (no-op) for data model write jobs. The metric counts write operations skipped because identical data already exists in CDF. Use this insight to implement more incremental data loads and improve performance.
• The annotation management in Diagram parsing for data modeling is split between the new Tag detection and Merge tabs. Tag detection is focused on annotation review. Verify or reject file and asset annotations individually or in bulk across multi-page files, with annotation counts displayed for quick workload insights. Annotations can now reference extended CogniteAsset or CogniteFile end nodes, expanding integration capabilities beyond standard CDM instances. Use Merge to merge tags with symbols. (beta)
• To help you locate properties in Document parsing, the parsed property highlights in the document when you select the property in the sidebar. Under Node ID, select the space to store the extraction result.
• Simulator connectors now handle large-scale production optimization routines with thousands of parameters. Enterprise customers can run comprehensive multi-well optimization scenarios and complex simulation commands without technical limitations. (beta)
• 3D now supports projects with both asset-centric and core data model assets. New API endpoints enable contextualization and use of 3D models for both asset types. (beta)
• In 3D, you can upload equirectangular 360° images to CDF and the system automatically converts them into cube map images.

• Evaluate agents to verify they respond as expected. Create test cases with prompts and expected responses, run evaluations, and review results to understand performance and identify improvements. (beta)
• Define static filters and properties for the Query Knowledge Graph tool to control how agents query data. Configure which filters and properties the tool uses to help your agent retrieve consistent and relevant results.

InField

• Access new Schedules functionality (beta):
  • Move Planned checklists to the Ready state and send them to work before the schedule. Select multiple checklists by holding Shift and clicking the first and last checkboxes to include all checklists in the range between.
  • Select a Planned checklist to review the tasks details before starting work. Move the checklist to Ready to start work and update the tasks.
• Tree view for asset search in observations. Find an asset by its name in the search field or open a tree view to see the asset hierarchy. Currently available on APM only.
• Add labels to templates as a template admin to organize and filter templates.
• Compare trends on desktop to analyze similar equipment or dependent processes. Currently available on APM only.
• Select a date range on mobile to view checklists for the past 7 days, with the most recent date at the top.
• The Observations functionality is now supported on CDM (Core Data Model).

​

Deprecated and retired features

• Starting January 1, 2026, we are moving the Set threshold rules feature in Canvas from public to private beta to address technical improvements and ensure its long-term reliability. The change will not affect existing users who have previously enabled and used the feature. It will be unavailable for new and existing users who are not in the private beta program.
• We’re deprecating the current backend for Cognite Functions on Azure. A new backend is now in production, and all functions deployed from now on will automatically use the new backend. Existing functions will continue to run on the current backend, but to benefit from improved performance and future updates, you need to redeploy your functions. We won’t automatically migrate existing functions.

​

Cognite API updates

​

New and updated features

• Chat to Atlas AI agents to find data in a chart or on a canvas. Select Atlas from the topbar to start chatting. Atlas AI features require a separate license from your standard CDF subscription. To enable Atlas AI functionality for your organization, contact your Cognite representative or fill out this form.
• On Canvas, you can:
  • View live data on charts. Select Toggle live mode from the menubar above the chart. (beta)
  • You can adjust the number of digits (a maximum of 3) after the decimal point by selecting an item with numerical values and clicking Adjust fractional digits from the menubar when you view time series as values.
  • Upload and view multiple tagged image file format files (.tiff) to a canvas. Before, you could only see the first page in .tiff files.
  • The cloud shape is a separate item under Shape on the canvas toolbar.
• In the 3D view, you’ll find new options for horizontal cylinder measurements and coordinate measurements under the Measurement tool.

• In Diagram parsing, you can narrow down detection parameters for assets and files to a subset within a location filter, enable partial matching of entities in the diagrams, and set the minimum number of tokens that each detected item must match the detected entity. You can also move and resize annotation boxes using Edit mode to realign boxes when a tag position shifts in a new file version. (beta)
• In 3D, a new feature automatically detects text in 360° images for CDF projects using the core data model. The feature creates annotations around detected text that you can link to assets.
• A new Power BI app for visualizing 3D CAD models is now available in Microsoft AppSource.
• For the GAP connector, you can manage simulator models either in a single bundle mode (.gar files) or in an external dependencies mode (.zip files).
• The Cognite DB extractor now loads files and time series into the core data model. The data-model configuration section parameters specify the target space, and the destination-mode flag controls the ingestion path.
• The Cognite Orbit extractor (beta) helps you get robot data collected from the Boston Dynamics Orbit fleet management system into CDF. This extractor is packaged as a Docker image and has two variants:
  • Orbit Classic: Uploads data as files directly into data modeling for integration into your custom data models.
  • Orbit DM: Uploads data as files directly into a data model with minimal metadata. This requires an existing data model.
• The Power BI connector (REST API) has reached general availability (GA).
• Cognite Functions policies and updates:
  • Function call limits: HTTP status code changes from 400 (Bad Request) to 429 (Too Many Requests) when hitting the 100 concurrent call limit (effective November 1, 2025). Update your error handling accordingly.
  • Project-wide limits: Maximum 250 concurrent running calls per CDF project. Applies immediately for new projects, November 1, 2025 for existing projects. Consider batching or queue management for high-volume scenarios.
  • Call history retention: Starting August 19, 2025, only the last 90 days of function call history will be retained. Back up important history before the retirement date.
  • Azure runtime: To continue using the service, recreate functions created before June 2, 2025 on Microsoft Azure clusters.
• Transformations policies and updates:
  • We’re introducing a retention policy for transformation job history. Starting August 19, 2025, only the most recent 1,000 jobs per transformation will be retained, provided they are not older than 90 days. We recommend backing up any job history you need to retain beyond these limits before the retired date.

• The Atlas AI agent builder, the agent chat interface in Charts and Canvas, and the following tools have reached general availability (GA): Query knowledge graph, Query time series data points, Answer documents questions, and Summarize documents.
• In the agent chat interface in Charts and Canvas, you can switch between different agents within a conversation. Recent conversations are saved when you move between different CDF tools and persist until you start a new conversation.
• We’re introducing access capabilities to build and interact with agents.
• The Agent APIs for programmatically building and interacting with Atlas agents are now in beta state.
• Developers can build and interact with agents programmatically using the Cognite Python SDK. (alpha)
• The template library is extended with these templates:
  • Data scout - Explore data in the knowledge graph.
  • Time series analysis - Analyze time series data.
• The tool library includes these updates:
  • Query knowledge graph is more accurate and supports the new query types Retrieve edge properties on views and Retrieve related data through CogniteDiagramAnnotation edges
  • REST API agent and Run Python code agent are now in beta state. To enhance security, these tools require explicit user confirmation before they run.

​

Resolved issues and minor updates

​

Cognite Data Fusion

• We’ve removed the default column that combined both name and description in a single cell in the search result table. Instead, we’ve reverted to having separate columns for these properties. This resolves issues related to duplicate name entries in the column selector and incorrect sorting order in the table.
• Fixed an issue where the time series preview in search incorrectly displayed step time series by averaging discrete data points. The time series value now remains the same until a new value appears.
• Fixed an issue where Canvas, Charts, and search would stop responding when loading large amounts of time series.
• Fixed an issue where the Open in canvas element in the Data explorer blocked overlapping annotations in PDF files with diagrams.
• Fixed an issue where the preview of overlapping annotations in engineering diagrams in search displayed external ID instead of name.
• Fixed an issue where time series ingested into the core data model would appear under Default categories.

​

InField

• Fixed issues with user initials where they’d show before any changes were made or SF would show in the automatically created checklist.
• Fixed issues with displaying and working with 3D models.
• Fixed an issue where users could create observations without specifying the priority and adding a description when these fields were required.
• Fixed an issue where it was possible to delete media files in the observation after it had been sent.
• Fixed an issue where it was impossible to set all remaining tasks to Done.

​

Deprecated and retired features

• Navigate categories and filters using AI in search is deprecated from April 4, 2025 and will be retired from June 4, 2025.
