View technical assets

You can view technical asset pages for data elements, technical data sets, data containers, and catalog sources. Each technical asset page contains many tabs that serve different purposes.

The assets that you see in Data Governance and Catalog depend on the configurations that the administrator applies in Metadata Command Center. These configurations include the metadata extraction settings for the catalog sources, the capabilities that are enabled, the profiling filters that are applied, the job schedules that are defined, and other factors.

Note: When you delete or purge a catalog source in Metadata Command Center, or when you delete data from a source, the following conditions apply:

•If an existing catalog source is deleted in Metadata Command Center, the technical assets for the catalog source are removed completely from Data Governance and Catalog. If an existing catalog source is purged in Metadata Command Center, the catalog source appears in the browse and search results in Data Governance and Catalog, but any enrichment made to the assets are lost.
•In Metadata Command Center, you can choose whether you want to retain or delete assets in Data Governance and Catalog when the corresponding objects are deleted from the source. If your administrator has chosen to delete objects that are deleted from the source, then the metadata along with the enrichments and relationships to the deleted objects are permanently deleted from the catalog. If your administrator has chosen to retain the objects that are deleted from the source, then Data Governance and Catalog retains the objects that were previously extracted. All enrichments and relationships to the objects are also retained. The objects that are retained in the catalog but deleted from the source appear as unresolved objects inData Governance and Catalog. For more information about configuring the metadata change option while configuring the catalog source, see the Catalog Source Configuration help in Metadata Command Center.

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 module 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, seeCurate 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 on collaborating on an asset, see Collaboration in the Working with Assets 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.

To display the assets in their correct hierarchy after you modify the properties of the Extract Group Elements from Hierarchical Files field, purge the catalog source before running it again.

Stakeholders tab

The Stakeholders tab of a technical asset displays the stakeholder assignment at the parent asset or child asset level. Stakeholders are authorized users who are responsible for the asset, and can approve or reject change requests for the asset. To view the stakeholders for a technical asset, the organization administrator must provide your user role the Read permission for the following Administrator service asset types:

•Folder
•Group
•Organization
•Privilege
•Role
•User

Field	Description
Name	Name of the stakeholder.
Role	The role that is assigned to the stakeholder.
User Origin	The origin of the users. For example, when a user logs in using SSO, the value for this field is displayed as SAML.
Email	The email ID of the user.
Stakeholder Assignment	The assignment of the stakeholders for an asset. For technical assets, the stakeholder assignment is of the following types: - Inherited. The stakeholder is inherited from the parent asset. For technical assets, the stakeholders are always inherited from the parent assets by default except the catalog source asset type. - Specifically Assigned. The stakeholder is assigned specifically for this asset. Thus, the stakeholder is not inherited from the parent asset.

Note: If you search for a technical data set that has inherited stakeholders, the inherited stakeholders associated with the data set are not displayed in the search results. However, the inherited stakeholders appear on the technical data set asset page.

If you add or remove stakeholders to an asset, all the existing inherited as well as the newly added stakeholders are assigned as Specifically Assigned. If you add or delete a stakeholder to a child asset, the stakeholder assignment to its parent asset remains unchanged.

When a user group is assigned as a stakeholder for the parent or child asset, you can view all the stakeholders in the user group by expanding the user group on the Stakeholders tab of the asset page. You can view a maximum of 50 users in a user group at a time.

The following table shows how the different fields and options on the page that are displayed for an individual user who is assigned as a stakeholder and a user assigned as a stakeholder in a user group:

Field	Individual User Assigned as a Stakeholder	User Assigned as a Stakeholder in a User Group
Delete button on the grid	Is displayed	Is not displayed
Stakeholder Assignment column on the grid	Is displayed	Is not displayed
