Asset Map

Feature Overview

Functional Positioning

Asset Map is a centralized workspace for data asset registration, marketplace publishing configuration, and detail maintenance. Users can register database tables or unstructured assets, publish assets to the data marketplace, configure tags and field terms for assets, and view previews, overviews, and asset quality tasks from the details page.

In short: register metadata as assets first, then supplement display and business information, and finally use the details page to check fields, previews, and quality status.

Usage Tips

Follow this sequence: locate or register assets -> verify asset information -> publish to the marketplace -> supplement tags and field definitions -> view previews and overviews. Before each submission, confirm the current asset, source metadata, and target fields to avoid updating the wrong record.

Main Features

• Asset classification and query: Locate assets by category tree, asset type, asset name, and publishing status.
• Multi-type asset registration: Supports database tables, external APIs, and unstructured data entries. The current material covers database tables and unstructured data in detail.
• Asset tags: Select multiple existing tags, or add tags during selection.

Scope

This page applies to asset registration, marketplace display configuration, tag and term supplementation, field information maintenance, asset preview and overview, and asset quality task configuration.

FAQ

• What is the difference between registering an asset and publishing it to the marketplace?
  Registration selects objects from metadata and turns them into platform assets. Publishing to the marketplace configures marketplace category, display name, update frequency, and delivery form for a registered asset, and updates its publishing status.

Summary

Asset Map covers the main page flow from asset registration and display configuration to detail maintenance and quality checks. During operation, focus on verifying source metadata, asset name, publishing configuration, target fields, and quality rules, and confirm on each result page that the current asset and status match expectations.
