Register an Asset
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.
In the example below we have selected a ‘Website’ type.
