Susan, a business user in your organization, looks at a Tableau report called Cost_Ratio_Report. She needs to find out more about the business context and technical assets associated with the report so that she can understand the report better. She opens the Enterprise Data Catalog Plug-in extension within the Tableau Server and finds out that the business terms, such as Variable Cost, Cost Ratio, and Fixed Cost are associated with the report. She also finds out that James is the owner of the asset and Mary, Patricia, and Jennifer are associated as data stewards for the asset. Susan launches the Enterprise Data Catalog application from the extension to display the asset details view or the lineage and impact view for the report.
