About Data Marketplace categories
Data Marketplace categories are custom groups of assets defined based on specific business needs. They offer a structured and intuitive way to organize and filter data, ensuring that data consumers can find and access relevant data.
You can create and manage categories by:
- Defining a category's name, icon, and description.
- Enabling and disabling a category.
- Changing their availability to all users or to specific global roles or groups.
- Configuring filters to define which assets are included in a category.
- Define the order of the categories.
All these options allow you to control category access and streamline navigation for data consumers.
Data consumers can navigate between category pages using the left sidebar and the landing page. On a category page, data consumers can view all assets within the category that they have access to, along with the category's name and description. For more information, go to Navigating and searching in the new Data Marketplace experience.
