Support for VIEWS in Azure Purview?

Question

Does anybody have any insights as to whether or not it is on the product roadmap to support VIEWS in Azure Purview? I added this as a comment in the 'feedback' forum, but I didn't know if this is 'in the works' or not. This is a deal-breaker for us in using this tool as most of our data is behind views. Azure Purview does not scan for VIEWS only tables, so if you want to 'catalog' the VIEW for Users to find, you are out of luck.

Hi @Derek Horrall ,

(UPDATE: 14/6/2022): Yes, scanning for views is supported in Microsoft Purview.

Just confirmed with product team that the SQL views scan is on the roadmap but no definite ETA at the moment. I have also shared the above User voice feedback link with product team to revisit the feedback suggestions.

Do let us know if you have further query.

Thank you
