Assign a domain type to an asset type
Assigning a domain type to an asset type provides a crucial layer of organizational context and scope. It allows you to specify which domains are responsible for managing specific asset types. This clarifies ownership and accountability, ensuring that the right teams are involved in governing and maintaining the data within those domains. By linking asset types to relevant domains, you improve data governance alignment, facilitate domain-specific data quality initiatives, and enable more targeted data stewardship efforts.
You can assign a domain type to an asset type by adding the domain type to the asset type assignment. This allows assets of that asset type to be created in domains of the assigned domain type, as long as the domain is in the scope of the assignment.
Prerequisites
You have a global role that has the Product Rights > System administration global permission.
Steps
- Open an asset type.
- In the tab pane, click the name of the assignment.
- Select Domain Types
- Above the table, to the right, click Edit Model.
- Select the checkboxes next to the domain types you want to assign to the asset type.
Tip To unassign a domain type from the asset type, clear the checkbox next to the domain type. Once unassigned, the asset type no longer appears in filters for asset views in domains of that domain type or their communities.
- Click Save.
