Analyze Reports Overview
Data Asset Analytics provides you a set of report types that you can use to easily create reports and analyze the data assets in your enterprise. A report type is a data set which contains the historical data of a specific catalog event from Enterprise Data Catalog Discovery. Some examples of catalog event information include business term associations, asset enrichments, data domain association, and user collaboration.
You can use the Reports page to create a report and analyze the data assets. You can preview a maximum of 50 records of the reports on the Monitoring page. To view the complete report and export the report to a third-party reporting tool, you can download the report in the CSV file format.
Viewing the Reports Page
The Reports page lists all the existing reports that you created. The page displays report details such as the name of the report, type of the report, report created time, and last run time of the report.
To find a particular report on the
Reports page, you can search for the report by name in the search field. To edit the report description, you can click the report name link from the list of reports and click (
), and then click (
) to save the changes. You can sort the reports based on the name, type, and created time. You can also change the view of the report from the list to grid view.
The grid view of the Reports page displays the details such as name of the report, time the report was created, and the last run time of the report. You can copy or delete a report. When you copy a report, you choose to reuse the same report to create a duplicate report out of it. Additionally, you can add or remove report filters, modify the name and description of the duplicate report that you create.
The following image displays a sample Reports page:
Note: Reports are unique to each user in Data Asset Analytics. You cannot view reports that other users create on the Reports page.
