Cognite Data Fusion
Cognite Atlas AI agents extend CDF with a workspace to create and manage industrial AI agents to solve your specific business needs. Cognite provides example agent templates that you can use as a starting point for building your agents, or you can use our low-code tools to build agents from scratch.Atlas AI agents use generative AI (genAI) language models and include prompts with instructions and goals, industry-relevant tools, and access to industrial data stored in your CDF knowledge graph. Humans set the goals, and the AI agent chooses the best actions to take to achieve those goals. (Early adopter)In the Industrial tools workspaceSearch is now the only option for finding data in the Industrial tools workspace and replaces the Data explorer. Search covers the same features as the Data explorer, as well as some features that are unique to search. In this release, search is updated with:- Explore charts or canvases under Solutions in the search sidebar. On the search details page, you’ll find the Appears in section if the data you’ve queried appears on a canvas.
- See data that are directly and indirectly linked on a separate card in the search results.
-
Sort documents by their category, such as P&IDs or data sheets. Open the File tab in search, Canvas, or Charts and select View categories.
-
If you’re using asset-centric data modeling, the document categories are based on NORSOK’s categorization rules. CDF sorts by the
doc_typemetadata and if this metadata doesn’t exist, CDF sorts bytitle. If this doesn’t match, the documents are placed within a Not categorized section. -
If you’re using core data modeling, CDF sorts by the
CogniteFileCategoryproperty.

If you’re browsing 3D models, you can open a 3D scene or a specific 3D model. Select Ghost mode to gray out areas that are out of focus for your work. In 3D scenes, insert points of interest, add comments, and share the link to the point of interest with your coworkers. CDF stores the camera position, the clipping planes, the linked asset, and the coordinates. Under Settings, you’ll find new options for visualization controls:
- Adjust image transparency to reveal structures.
- Hide all markers or hiding markers blocked by objects in front of you.
- Navigate between previously viewed 360° images using the arrows in the top toolbar.
- Set up simulator integrations to connect first-principle simulation tools and CDF. Simulation integrations can be used for real-time asset performance optimization, predictive maintenance, what-if scenario analysis, and digital twin development. Use the Cognite API to create simulation workflows and the CDF interface to manage simulation resources and explore simulation results. We provide out-of-the-box connectors to industry-standard simulator tools. Build data workflow tasks that interact with the simulator integration routines and enable automated, repeatable simulation workflows for data transfers between CDF resources and simulations.
- Use the Diagram parsing tool to analyze engineering diagrams to extract information. This tool automatically detects and maps asset and file tags to CDF resources. For files with SVG elements, Diagram parsing identifies symbols, lines, and connections, and builds a knowledge graph in CDF. You can review and verify the automatic mappings as part of the process. (Beta)
- When you’re contextualizing 3D objects, use the unified 3D contextualization editor for CAD, point clouds, or 360° images. You’ll see context for a scene and can locate specific structures, such as identifying where a 360° image is positioned in the scene or determining which equipment a point cloud represents. The 360° image contextualization now also support data modeling. You can mark images and link them to assets using the resource selector. The automatic tag detection now processes all 360° images, and generates suggestions for discovered tag numbers. You can review these suggestions, link them to assets if correct, edit incomplete tags, or discard incorrect suggestions.
- In Data workflows, scope access to specific data sets and set up event-based triggers to automate workflows based on data changes. (Beta)
-
For Transformations that require full table-reads, you can read content from CDF Files in NDJSON format by referencing the file in an SQL statement. This is an alternative to using the CDF staging area for transformations where increamental loading (
is_new) isn’t possible. - Cognite Functions can now be used on CDF projects running in an Amazon Web Services (AWS) cluster.
- We’re introducing a new Cognite connector to allow write-back for a bidirectional flow of SAP notification and attachment data between SAP S/4HANA and CDF. The Cognite SAP extractor now allows OData v2 or the OData v4 SAP S/4HANA endpoints to ingest SAP data to CDF. Copilot for documents and the Azure Event Hub and REST API extractors have now been released into general availability.
Resolved issues and minor updates
- Download files from the Files tab in search.
- Search and filter data when you’ve sorted the data in a tree view on the search results page.
- We’ve improved the performance on a canvas and reduced the load time for large or multiple documents.
- CDF now keeps your language setting if you switch to another PC or device.
- The sidebar on the CDF home page is collapsible and has improved prompts to help you remember to close it when doing focused work.
InField

Cognite Data Fusion
We’ve simplified how you sign in and navigate in CDF. When you sign in, you can enter an organization name or select an organization you recently signed in to. When you open a CDF tool, a breadcrumb trail is displayed. On some breadcrumbs, there’ll be a dropdown list with common actions, such as creating and deleting items.In the Industrial tools workspace- Ask Cognite Copilot to help you find answers across multiple documents. This feature is optimized for finding answers in PDF files with text. Copilot can search a maximum of 100 documents. This feature is available on Canvas and on the details page when you’ve searched for data.
-
Previously, the Data explorer was the default search engine in the Industrial tools workspace. With this release, the search tool is the default search engine. To keep the Data explorer as your default search engine, select Open Data explorer in the top bar banner. Notice how the menu item in the sidebar switches names.
This adjustment aligns with the upcoming solution where search will be the only search engine in the Industrial tools workspace and Data explorer the only search engine in the Data management workspace.
Overall, search includes these additional features to Data explorer:
- Search data from any type of data model, including CogniteCore and CogniteProcessIndustry. In Data explorer, you can only search for data from asset-centric data models.
- Extended 3D model options, such as scenes that are linked to locations, advanced measuring features, and objects highlighted in color according to set thresholds.
- A Copilot that filters and finds data and helps you summarize information in one or more documents.
- Locations to narrow down data and context.
-
Sort search results in a Tree view
. For asset-centric data models, you can select an asset in the tree to expand the view and see the parent/child relationship. You’ll see the tree as a card on the details page. Note that you can’t use the Filter button or search with text in this view.
-
When you use 3D in search, you can crop and slice objects in x, y, and z directions using
in the sidebar to unveil 3D objects, such as buildings with walls and roofs.
-
On Canvas
- Monitor a system by setting up color-based thresholds for items on a canvas or an engineering diagram, for instance, for corrosion rates or operating temperatures.
- Select Cause map
from the toolbar to create diagrams, typically while performing a root-cause analysis. Add stamps, sticky notes, images, or data to the cards. Select a card to set a status, change color, or set up color-based thresholds. - Canvas now supports the Cognite data models, CogniteCore and CogniteProcessIndustry.
-
For Charts, we’re adding a new way for users to find and add time series and create and import calculations. Select Add data from the top bar, and then select to add time series or calculations.
- Charts now supports the Cognite data models, CogniteCore and CogniteProcessIndustry.
-
Cognite provides out-of-the-box data models to help you build a structured, flexible and contextualized knowledge graph of your industrial data. The data models include containers and views and can be used at scale out-of-the-box.
- Cognite’s core data model, CogniteCore, offers standardized building blocks for industrial data, forming the basis for more specialized models.
- Cognite’s process industry data model, CogniteProcessIndustry, is the first of Cognite’s industry-specific data models. It extends the core data model to meet typical process industry needs.
- Set up digital locations corresponding to physical areas, such as platforms, plants, or factories. You can set up locations or a set of parent-child locations as a filter across data models, data sets, and 3D content. You can’t use locations to manage access to data. Users can use the locations or a specific data model to filter data in search, Canvas, and Charts.
- We’ve revamped the 3D tool for configuration for a better-guided user experience and streamlined the upload and configuration process. 3D contextualization is now available to integrate and visualize the 3D content in the CogniteCore data model.
- We’re introducing new Cognite connectors where you can extract and write back data for the Petex PROSPER simulation tool. (Beta)
- We’ve added production ready extractor support, hosted by Cognite, for MQTT, and Kafka, as well as Beta availability for Azure Event Hub, REST APIs Cognite hosted extractors.
- Automate the execution of data workflows with triggers, and nest data workflows with sub-workflow tasks that reference other workflows. This is typically useful if you want to orchestrate complex workflows or reuse workflows.
- In Transformations, you can write to the type property of nodes and views containing properties of type enum, list of direct relations, and reverse direct relation.
- CDF can now retrieve data points based on a named time zone, or using specified time offsets (with 15-minute increments). The data point aggregates using the Gregorian calendar-based units of time, such as days, weeks, months, quarters, and years. The default value is your regional setting.
- Data modeling now includes two inspection endpoints for views and containers.

- If you’re using the flexible data model framework, contextualized data is based on annotations to asset hierarchy resources, edges, direct relations, and strings references.
- To continue analyzing and collaborating on the data, select Open in Industrial canvas from Data Explorer and Search.
- If you open an engineering diagram in Search, orange-colored boxes indicate links to other files. Purple-colored boxes indicate links to other data objects, such as additional information about equipment.

In the 3D view on the Search page, we’ve made these improvements:
- From the side panel, you can filter all 3D objects within a 3D model and the data directly linked to the 3D object, such as work orders and sensor data. The 3D objects are highlighted in the model and have a preview card with directly linked items.
- On the preview card, you can open directly linked files, such as engineering diagrams, and see a file preview on top of the 3D object.
-
In CDF data modeling, the expressiveness of the industrial knowledge graph is extended with the new relation type
reverse direct relation. Defining types that have properties that are nodes pointing to the current type improves consistency and query ergonomics. - The Cognite SAP extractor now supports multiple SAP sources, SAP RFC and SOAP endpoints, multiple CDF resource type destinations, and multiple keys when ingesting to CDF RAW. Note also that the configuration schema is updated to support multiple SAP sources.
-
Under Match resources to asset, you’ll find these changes in the user interface:
- On the Select source page in Quick match, the filtering options for data sets now only display the data sets containing the selected resource type.
- On the Review results page in Quick match, you’ll now see the current asset to which the resource is linked to alongside the suggested asset.
- The 3D matching option is moved to the Select Source page, and you’ll find 3D node among the resource types for selection.
-
When you upload 3D models to CDF, you can use AI to enhance point clouds with classifications and object detection. Navigate to Integrate > Upload 3D, then select the
icon .
- We’re introducing request and concurrency limits for the CDF RAW service.
- Assign units to time series and numerical properties in data models. The industrial knowledge graph stores numerical data with associated units selected from the built-in unit catalog. Then, perform unit conversion on query time for time series data points, which saves you from having to handle conversion.
- In the Cognite JavaScript SDK, you can retrieve data points with granularity set as a month.
- The Industrial Data Science library is now open-source and open to external contributions. See https://github.com/cognitedata/indsl.
InField
:::info Limited availability The features described in this section are currently only available to selected customers. :::- Item to check. Add extra items to be checked to the task. Describe what needs to be done and add alternative responses (action buttons). Each response can be linked to a task status. When working on the checklist, select the response with the linked status. The task status will automatically change to the status linked to the response.
- Bulk status change. Change the status of the remaining tasks in the checklist. When working on a checklist, bulk change the statuses of the remaining tasks. You can do that for the tasks inside and outside the group and only once.
- Task description. Provide a description or step-by-step instructions to explain what field workers need to do when working on a checklist.
- Observations. Provide asset observations. Field workers can create observations when working on a checklist or selecting the menu button > Create observation.
- Schedule. Formerly Task intervals. Specify the start date for the checklist to open automatically and set your tasks to repeat on daily or weekly intervals.
- Message. Enter a message or a question that requires a reply. Ask operators to write a response to your request, question, message, etc., when working on a checklist.
Resolved issues and minor updates
Cognite Data Fusion
-
In the Data Explorer, we’ve resolved these issues:
- Resource types displayed a maximum of 100 linked items. Now, there are no maximum limits.
- The results were not updated if you entered a value in the Internal IDs field under the Common filters sidebar.
- If you initiated contextualization for files with assets and reran the contextualization without assets, the files would still be contextualized.
- For some users, CDF would end if the asset hierarchy data model exceeded ~6.5k nested nodes.
-
In Charts, we’ve resolved these issues:
- You could not create a monitoring job if you entered a float value in the Minimum duration field.
- Unit texts are now adjusted to fit the table view.
-
In InField, we’ve resolved these issues:
- You can now work on a checklist in offline mode on a tablet in landscape view.
- Checklists didn’t appear as scheduled.
- Tasks disappeared when you tried to duplicate them.
- Check item action buttons didn’t appear in checklists.
- In 3D models, end preparations on circular tubes didn’t appear correctly.
