View technical assets

You can view technical asset pages for data elements, technical data sets, data containers, and catalog sources.

The assets that you can view in Data Governance and Catalog depend on the permissions that your organization administrator assigns to you through access policies in Metadata Command Center. For information about how administrators manage access to assets, see the Asset Management help.

The following image shows the technical asset page for a sample table in an Oracle catalog source:

The Overview tab of a technical asset page.

The header of the technical asset page displays the following properties of the technical asset:

Field	Description
Hierarchy	The top of the page displays the hierarchical path of the technical asset.
Name	Name of the technical asset. The name can be one of the following types: - Technical name of the asset that Metadata Command Center extracts from the source system. For more information about configuring a catalog source to extract metadata from source systems, see the Catalog Source Configuration help in Metadata Command Center. - Readable business name that a user has manually associated with the technical asset or is automatically assigned to the technical asset. For more information about curating glossaries for technical assets, see Curate glossaries for technical assets.
Overall Rating	Rate a technical asset to indicate your assessment of the quality of the asset. As a stakeholder, you can endorse a technical asset as trusted and reliable by certifying the asset and also decertify the technical asset if it is longer trusted and valid. You can add your comments to the asset and collaborate with other users to make collective decisions on using the data. For more information about collaborating on an asset, see Collaboration in the Asset Management help.
Lifecycle	Stage of the asset in the production lifecycle. If the administrator has configured a workflow for creating or updating assets, the Lifecycle value displays the current stage of the asset in the workflow.
Last Updated	Date on which the asset was last updated.
