View asset details

Click any asset in the list to open its detail page. The detail view shows the asset’s description, source, owners, last-updated date, and quality tags. Use the tabs to explore different aspects of the asset:
  • **Overview **— Summary of the asset at a glance includes volume trends, schema column count, freshness status, and overall data quality score. Also surfaces any recent alerts, issues, and quick metadata like owner and classification.
  • **Attribute **— Column-level view of the asset’s structure — lists every attribute/field with its data type, nullability, sample values, and individual quality profiling stats like uniqueness, completeness, and value distribution.
  • **Metric **—  Data quality metrics collected for this asset over time — tracks dimensions such as completeness, accuracy, consistency, and timeliness. Displays historical trend charts so you can spot degradation or anomalies across runs.
  • **Usage **— Tracks how this asset is being consumed — shows query frequency, active users, and access patterns. Helps identify whether the asset is heavily used, stale, or orphaned. The 28 Query count visible in the header feeds into this tab.
  • **Lineage **—  Visual map of upstream and downstream data dependencies — shows where data comes from (source tables, pipelines) and where it flows to (models, dashboards, reports). Useful for impact analysis when a schema or data change is planned.
  • **Audit **—  Change history and access log for the asset — records who viewed, edited, or certified the asset and when. Useful for governance, compliance, and tracking metadata changes over time.
  • **Documentation **— Free-form and structured reference documentation linked to the asset — includes descriptions, business definitions, ownership notes, tags, and any linked wiki or external docs. Supports data literacy and self-service discovery.
  • **Conversation **— Collaborative discussion thread attached to the asset — team members can ask questions, leave comments, flag concerns, or discuss data issues directly in context without leaving the platform. The 0 Conversation count in the header reflects no active threads yet.
Click Back to Assets at the top left to return to the catalog.

Check alerts and issues

Click Alerts in the header to see all active notifications. Alerts are categorized by severity—Critical, High, Warning, and Info—and include details such as the affected asset, drift status, and percent change.Click Issues to see open data quality problems across your environment. Each issue shows the affected asset, database, priority level, and current status (New, In Progress, or Resolved). Use this view to triage and track problems to completion.
