Every data asset tells a story — what it is, who relies on it, and where it fits in your pipeline. The Overview tab brings that story together in one place, combining quality signals, business context, ownership, and lineage so you can quickly judge whether an asset is trustworthy and ready to use. Whether you’re an engineer tracing structure or a business user assessing fit, this is where you start.

Asset Overview

The Overview tab is the landing page for any asset (table, view, schema, etc.) in DQLabs Prizm. It consolidates key metrics, business context, ownership, and lineage into a single view, giving users a quick understanding of what the asset is, its health, and how it fits into the broader data ecosystem.
Use the search bar at the top of the Assets page — or press ⌘K — to find any asset by name, source, or column across all connected databases without switching tabs.

Asset Overview Purpose

The Overview tab is designed to answer, at a glance:
  1. What is this asset? (Description, semantic context)
  2. Is it trustworthy? (Verified status, freshness, completeness score)
  3. Who owns it and who should use it? (Owners, Audience, AI guidance)
  4. Where does it fit in the pipeline? (Lineage preview)
  5. Is it healthy? (Alerts, Issues, Criticality badge)
This makes it the primary entry point for both technical users assessing structure and business users assessing trust and applicability before relying on the data.

Owners

Identifies accountable individuals/roles for the asset:
  • Business Owner — accountable for business relevance and usage.
  • Technical Owner — accountable for technical implementation.
  • Steward — responsible for data quality and governance upkeep.
Each role can be assigned via the ”+” icon if not already populated.

Audience

Lists the user groups or teams intended to consume this asset (e.g., Audience_Supply_Chain). Helps with access governance and discovery relevance.

Who Should Use This

Lineage Preview

A condensed view of the asset’s data flow:
  • Upstream — traces the asset back to its origin source (e.g., REF_CALENDAR → BRONZE_REF_CALENDAR → SILVER_DIM_DATE).
  • Downstream — shows dependent assets consuming this data (e.g., dashboards, staging tables, views).
  • The expand icon links to the full Lineage tab for an interactive, detailed graph.

Context & More Information

Together, Context and More Info answer two distinct questions:
  • Context → Is this asset well-documented and governed?
  • More Info → What exactly is this asset, technically, and when did it last change?
This split lets technical users — engineers and stewards — verify lineage accuracy, freshness, and structural identity without leaving the Overview page.

Context

  • Context Completeness % — a score reflecting how much governance metadata (description, owner, glossary terms, domain, audience) has been filled in.
  • Field-level status — shows whether each governance field is Done or Pending.
  • Prizm AI Suggested Context — AI-generated contextual insights; displays a placeholder if not yet generated.
  • Context Freshness — shows how recently each governance field was last updated (e.g., description updated 16 days ago) and flags fields that have Never been reviewed (e.g., Owner verified, Schema changed).

More Information

The More Info panel complements the Context panel by focusing on system and technical metadata rather than business/governance metadata.

Field Reference

FieldDescription
Materialization FromIdentifies the upstream tool/object the asset is materialized from, along with a platform icon (e.g., dbt model silver_dim_date). Useful for tracing how the asset is built.
Qualified NameThe full hierarchical path of the asset — Database / Schema / Asset Name (e.g., PRIZM_RETAIL / SILVER_REF / SILVER_DIM_DATE). Acts as the asset’s unique address within the platform.
Source NameThe connected data source the asset originates from (e.g., Prizm_Retail).
TypeThe classification of the asset (e.g., TABLE, VIEW, SCHEMA).
SizeCurrent storage footprint of the asset (e.g., 4.5 KB).
CriticalityIndicates the business-impact level of the asset. Can be toggled between:
Auto — system-calculated based on usage, lineage, and downstream impact.
Manual — user-defined override for cases where business judgment differs from the system score.
IdentifierAn optional custom identifier that can be added via the ”+” icon for cross-system reference or integration.
Fingerprint ColumnThe column used to uniquely identify/track row-level changes for the asset (e.g., DATE_DT). Used internally for change detection.
Last Altered OnTimestamp of the most recent change to the asset at the source system level (e.g., Jun 16 2026 06:01 PM).
UpstreamManual entry point to add upstream dependencies not automatically captured by lineage detection.
DownstreamManual entry point to add downstream dependencies not automatically captured by lineage detection.
CreatedDate and time the asset was first cataloged in Prizm (e.g., May 29 2026 03:35 AM).
ModifiedDate and time of the most recent metadata change within Prizm itself (e.g., Jun 18 2026 09:22 PM).
