Use the following options to see the documentation in the latest UI or in the previous, classic UI:

Assign a validation rule to an asset type

Assigning a validation rule to an asset type ensures data quality and consistency by enforcing specific criteria for the attributes of assets. These rules help prevent errors and inconsistencies. This leads to more reliable data, improved data governance, and increased trust in the information used for critical business processes and decision-making.

You can assign a validation rule to an asset type by adding it to the asset type assignment. This allows assets of the given asset type to be validated against the validation rule, if the asset is in the scope of the assignment.

Prerequisites
Steps
  1. Open the asset type.
    1. On the main toolbar, click Products icon → Cogwheel icon Settings.
      The Settings page opens.
    2. Click the Operating Model tab.
      The Operating Model settings are shown.
    3. On the Asset types tab page, click the name of an asset type.

      The asset type page opens.

  2. In the left pane, click the assignment.
  3. In the left pane, click Validation rules.
