The Create Asset Page layout defines which attributes appear on a New Asset page for an asset in Data Governance and Catalog. You can customize these pages according to the asset type and your requirements.
The following image shows the New Asset page for an AI Model asset in Data Governance and Catalog:
For Create Asset Page layouts, you can perform the following customizations:
•Create a new layout for the New Asset page, or clone an existing layout to make changes.
•Show, hide, and rearrange the order of panels, and split a panel into multiple columns.
•Show, hide, and rearrange the position of attributes within a panel. You can't hide attributes that are marked as required.
•Save a unique name for each layout and save it with a particular configuration.
•Assign one or more layouts to users with specific roles, to users that are part of specific user groups, or to all users in your organization.
•Control the visibility of an asset type's predefined layout.
•When you publish a new required attribute, Metadata Command Center automatically adds it to every published Create Asset Page layout.
Creating a custom layout for an asset's create page
Create a custom layout for what a user sees when they create an asset in Data Governance and Catalog. You organize an asset's attributes into panels and control which users see the layout.
Your user role requires the Asset Page Customization privilege in Administrator. For more information on feature privileges, see the Introduction and Getting Started help.
You can create multiple page designs for an asset's Create Asset Page and assign each design to different users or groups. Users who don't have a custom designed page, use the predefined layout.

2In the Business Assets list, select the asset type for which you want to create an asset page layout.
