View Asset Details Overview
You can view the details of an asset in the Overview tab. The Overview tab displays the asset details in different sections, such as the Description, People, Business Terms, Business Classifications, System Attributes, and Custom Attributes. The overview details vary based on the type of an asset that you open.
For example, for a relational column, the Overview tab displays the details, such as the asset description, people associated with the asset, business classifications, business terms, system attributes, composite data domains, and data domains that are assigned to the column. If you configure the profile settings for a resource in the Catalog Administrator, you can also view the profile results in the Overview tab, such as the value frequency, similar columns, pattern, and inferred data types.
You can view the term properties from the Analyst tool for business glossary terms. You can also view the glossary properties from the Informatica Axon for Axon glossaries in the Overview tab. The tab displays the details, such as the technical, classified, glossary, and other assets to which the business term is related.
The tasks that you can perform from the Overview tab vary based on the asset type. For example, you can associate a business title with any asset, assign custom attribute values to an asset from different sections, check the quality of data for relational tables, relational views, CSV files, JSON files, XML files, and Salesforce objects, and assign data domains to certain column and field assets.
Alternatively, you can list the types of data using the REST APIs. For more information, see the
List Data Types topic in the
Enterprise Data Catalog REST API Reference guide.
