About Asset Grid
Asset Grid enables visualization of thousands of asset relationships. In this visualization, you can aggregate and show data across multiple dimensions, which increases the understanding of relationships across many assets simultaneously.
Note Asset Grid is a cloud-only view.
What is Asset Grid?
Showing thousands of related assets in a single view can be daunting, making it difficult for users to gain insight and take action on data.
Asset Grid is a view that displays assets in pivot table format. It makes data more accessible, insightful and actionable for a variety of users and use cases, such as a responsibility matrix, impact analysis, data discovery grids, status reporting and so on.
Similar to Diagrams, it shows traversing asset relations. But whereas Diagrams show data from the perspective from a single asset, Asset Grid shows relations for thousands of assets at once.
How does Asset Grid work?
Start by selecting the root asset for your grid. The root asset aggregates data in your grid.
Once you have selected the root asset, use the Query Builder to select the data to show in the grid.. From your root asset, you can start traversing relations to aggregate or categorize the data you need. You can enrich each data point with attributes and responsibilities to make the grid more insightful.
Now map your data points onto your pivot table in the Grid Builder. Optionally, categorize the cell data by status or other characteristics from your data set.
Optionally, tailor the layout of the grid to the content it is showing with the layout settings.
Lastly, share the grid with others or embed the grid in Collibra Dashboards, portal sites or intranet pages to make sure you reach your target audience in their natural working context.
Who benefits from the Asset Grid?
Asset Grid is potentially relevant for all personas within an enterprise. It enables Collibra champions to make data more accessible to data citizens, enabling them to solve additional use cases that depend on understanding relationships across large numbers of assets, such as data exploration, impact analysis, and status reporting.
