Atlas3 3.0.0 Release Notes

Atlas3 3.0.0 is the first application release from this repository. It delivers a modern Vue-based Atlas experience for the core observational research workflows and moves the principal analytics tools into a unified Analysis Hub.

These notes are intended for Atlas 2.x users and administrators. They compare the user-facing functionality in the Atlas 2.x application with the current Atlas3 3.0.0 release baseline. They are not a statement of WebAPI endpoint compatibility or a deployment guide.

Available in Atlas3 3.0

Cohorts

  • Browse, search, filter, create, and edit cohort definitions.
  • Build cohort expressions with CIRCE criteria, inclusion rules, concept sets, metadata, tags, access controls, and version history.
  • Generate cohorts against selected data sources.
  • Import and export cohort JSON, inspect generated SQL, and produce print-friendly cohort output.
  • Continue using legacy cohort-definition URLs; Atlas3 redirects them to the cohort workspace.

Concepts and concept sets

  • Search the vocabulary and inspect concept details, hierarchies, and related concepts.
  • Create, edit, import, export, compare, optimize, tag, and version concept sets.
  • Open legacy Atlas 2.x search and concept URLs; Atlas3 redirects them to the Concepts experience.

Analysis Hub

The Analysis Hub consolidates the major analysis list views in one navigation area.

  • Characterizations: configure cohorts, feature analyses, concept sets, and strata; run analyses and review results.
  • Feature analyses: create and manage prevalence, distribution, and custom SQL feature-analysis designs.
  • Pathways: design pathways, generate analyses, and review pathway visualizations and results.
  • Incidence rates: design incidence-rate analyses, set study windows and time at risk, execute analyses, and review stratified results.
  • Atlas3 preserves redirects for the legacy Characterizations, Feature Analyses, Pathways, and Incidence Rates URLs.

Profiles and data sources

  • Search for people by source and review patient demographics, clinical events, timelines, filters, and cohort-scoped profiles.
  • Review data-source dashboards, data density, demographic, observation-period, death, and clinical-domain reports.

Administration and platform capabilities

  • Manage roles, permissions, role membership, and entity access controls.
  • Manage data-source configuration and tags from the configuration panel, subject to permissions.
  • Monitor background jobs from the Jobs panel.
  • Create and revoke personal API keys.
  • Use version-preview routes for supported versioned assets.
  • Use the plugin framework to add supported analysis and administration extension points.
  • Use available localization and accessibility-oriented application infrastructure.

Atlas 2.x to Atlas3 Functionality Matrix

Navigation area Atlas 2.x function Atlas3 3.0 status Atlas3 location or behavior
Cohort Definitions Browse and edit cohort definitions Available Cohorts (/cohorts) provides list, builder, generation, JSON, SQL, tags, permissions, and legacy URL redirects.
Cohort Definitions Samples, reports, and cost/utilization workflows Partial Atlas3 contains cohort sample and reporting surfaces, but sites should validate the specific report and cost-utilization workflow they use before migration.
Vocabulary and Concept Sets Vocabulary search, concept details, and concept-set authoring Available Concepts (/concepts) combines search, concept sets, comparison, import/export, optimization, and detail views.
Characterizations Design, execution, results, and versioned characterizations Available Analysis Hub > Characterizations with legacy URL redirects.
Feature Analyses Manage reusable feature-analysis definitions Partial Analysis Hub > Feature Analyses supports prevalence, distribution, and custom SQL designs. Validate specialized legacy feature-analysis designs and downstream execution/result workflows during migration.
Pathways Design, execute, and inspect pathway analyses Available Analysis Hub > Pathways with generation and result visualizations.
Incidence Rates Design, execute, and inspect incidence-rate analyses Available Analysis Hub > Incidence Rates with study-window, time-at-risk, stratification, and result views.
Estimation and Prediction Population-level estimation and patient-level prediction analyses Not available in v3.0 Atlas3 and WebAPI 3.0 do not provide estimation or prediction analysis workflows.
Profiles Patient-level profile exploration Available Profiles (/profiles) supports source, person, and cohort-scoped views.
Data Sources CDM dashboards and domain/data-density reports Available Data Sources (/datasources) provides report selection and drilldown views.
Configuration: sources Source administration and source status Relocated/changed Configuration is consolidated into the Atlas3 configuration panel instead of the Atlas 2.x configuration routes.
Configuration: roles and permissions Roles, users in roles, permissions, and entity access Available Roles (/config/roles) and the configuration panel provide role and permission management.
Configuration: tags Tag and tag-group management Relocated/changed Tag management is available from the configuration panel; tagging is no longer a separate primary navigation area.
Jobs Background-job monitoring and status Relocated/changed Job monitoring is provided in the Jobs panel rather than the dedicated Atlas 2.x Jobs page.
API keys Personal API-key management Available API Keys (/profile/api-keys).
Tools Create, edit, and publish custom external-tool links Not available in v3.0 Atlas3 has no equivalent Tool Manager route, view, or service.
Reusables Browse and manage reusable analysis components Not available in v3.0 Atlas3 has no standalone Reusables browser or manager.
User Import LDAP/Active Directory import wizard, group-to-role mapping, and scheduled import jobs Not available in v3.0 Atlas3 has no equivalent user-import workflow.
Feedback Embedded feedback-submission page Relocated/changed Atlas3 uses an external feedback link rather than an in-application feedback form.

Status definitions:

  • Available: Atlas3 has a corresponding user-facing workflow.
  • Relocated/changed: The workflow remains, but its navigation or interaction model changed.
  • Partial: A corresponding Atlas3 surface exists, but specialized Atlas 2.x behavior should be validated before migration.
  • Not available in v3.0: No corresponding Atlas3 user interface or service surface was identified.

Functionality Not Carried Forward from Atlas 2.x

  • Custom Tool Registry: Atlas 2.x administrators could manage a registry of external tool links and their visibility. This manager is not included in Atlas3 3.0.
  • Reusables Manager: The standalone browser and manager for reusable analysis components is not included in Atlas3 3.0.
  • LDAP/Active Directory User Import: The Atlas 2.x wizard for directory-user import, group-to-role mapping, scheduling, and import-job history is not included in Atlas3 3.0.
  • Population-Level Estimation and Patient-Level Prediction: Estimation and prediction analysis workflows are not included in Atlas3 or WebAPI 3.0.
  • Embedded Feedback Form: Atlas3 directs feedback to an external form rather than hosting an in-application submission page.

Navigation and Workflow Changes

  • Analysis Hub: Characterizations, Feature Analyses, Pathways, and Incidence Rates are grouped under one analysis navigation area.
  • Configuration panel: Administrative capabilities are consolidated into a permission-aware panel instead of multiple dedicated configuration routes.
  • Jobs panel: Job monitoring is available from a panel rather than a standalone page.
  • Concepts workspace: Vocabulary search, concept-set work, comparison, and concept details are consolidated under Concepts.
  • Legacy links: Common Atlas 2.x URLs for cohorts, characterizations, feature analyses, pathways, incidence rates, vocabulary search, and concepts redirect to their Atlas3 equivalents.

Migration Considerations for Administrators

  • Replace Atlas 2.x directory-import workflows with the identity-management and user-provisioning process appropriate to the deployment's WebAPI and authentication configuration.
  • Inventory custom Tool Registry links before migration and publish them through site documentation, portal navigation, or another approved local mechanism.
  • Plan an alternative workflow for population-level estimation and patient-level prediction analyses before migration; they are not available in Atlas3 or WebAPI 3.0.
  • Validate site-specific cohort reports, cost/utilization reports, specialized feature analyses, and operational job workflows before production cutover.
  • Update bookmarks and training material to reflect the Analysis Hub, Concepts workspace, configuration panel, and Jobs panel.

Comparison Basis

The comparison was derived from the Atlas 2.x navigation inventory in C:\Git\Atlas\js\pages\main.js and its feature modules, and the Atlas3 route inventory in C:\Git\Atlas3\src\router\routes.ts with the associated views and components. The omissions section is intentionally limited to functions for which no corresponding Atlas3 route, view, or service surface was identified.
