How do I create an asset and make it visible to other users?

Making an asset visible to users across the organisation is a two step process. Assets first need to be registered and then published.

There are two ways of registering an asset:

  • Manually
  • Using a data source

How do I register an asset manually?

Click the Settings Cog icon at the top right hand corner.

Select Register.

Enter a Name for the asset (required).

You can enter in a Description for the asset. Alternatively, a description can be added at a later stage.

Click Next to continue.

When registering an asset, Asset Type reports and data sources are available in the drop-down to select. Entity types from the Data Catalogue are not applicable here.
