Example 

The HR Analytics data product consolidated all relevant HR data, such as turnover rates, employee satisfaction, and hiring efficiency into a single entry point. The data product indicates what data is included, the purpose of the metrics, and how to access the data in the different data sources.

    The content and layout of this tab page can be configured. By default, it includes:
    • Description
    • Business case
    • Business value
    • Data Product Category: Defines whether a data product is targeting business users or more technical users. The out-of-the-box values are Derived (for business users) and Foundational (for more technical users).
    • Target Delivery Date
    • Diagram: A section that shows a diagram view of the data product and its related assets. For information on this section, go to Diagram widget.
