Configuring Asset Types

Asset types are the business assets (business terms, business rules, business policy, and so on), or marketplace assets (datasets) that you work on. For each of the asset types, you can configure several settings, such as their availability, properties, and so on.

By default, the business assets configuration page appears. To configure and manage marketplace assets, in the Business Assets pane, click . Then, Data Marketplace. The asset type switches to Data Marketplace.

The following steps help you to configure business assets. Similarly, you can configure marketplace assets.

To configure asset types, follow these steps:

Go to Application Menu > Settings > Business Glossary Manager & Data Marketplace.
The Business Glossary Manager & Data Marketplace Settings page appears. By default, the Asset Types settings for business assets open.
In the Business Assets pane, select an asset type.
The corresponding settings appear in the right pane. These settings are grouped into three different tabs, Asset Details, Catalog or Category, and <Asset Name>. However, the tabs differ based on the asset type that you select.
Work on each tab to configure asset types:
