As an administrator, you can customize the out-of-the-box scope to expose exactly what makes sense for your data consumers. Which data is relevant? Which data meets your quality or governance standards?
You can configure the scope based on asset type, status,and organization. Data Marketplace takes all scope definitions into account when searching for assets. If you choose to include only Reports as asset type, Approved as status, and Marketing as organization, you get only results that meet all of these conditions.
- You can configure the data basket functionality so that the Data Marketplace scope further refines which assets users can add to the data basket.
- When creating relation paths, the Data Marketplace scope is also applied. You can start a relation path or use relations and attributes only from asset types or asset type groups included in the Data Marketplace scope.
However, selecting asset type groups in the Asset Type Groups tab page doesn't directly affect search results in Data Marketplace. The selection affects only the options available when defining relation paths. To ensure users can find specific asset types, you must add them to the Data Marketplace scope in the Asset Types tab.
In your environment, data consumers must request access on data set and report level. As a result, you want to only show Approved data sets and reports in Data Marketplace.
To do this, you configure the following scope:
- Asset types: Data Set and Report
- Status: Approved
- Organization: all
If you also enable Relation-based search, then data consumers can still use column names as search terms. In that case, Data Marketplace shows the related data set and reports in the search results instead of the Column assets.
In your environment, you keep track of approved marketing data in a specific community "Marketing-Approved". As a result, you want to only show data of this community in Data Marketplace.
To do this, you configure the following scope:
- Asset types: all
- Status: all
- Community: Marketing-Approved
Prerequisites
- If you want to use standalone Data Marketplace, Data Marketplace is enabled.
- The Settings landing page is enabled.
- You are an administrator in Data Marketplace.
Steps
- If you create a new asset type, status, community, or domain in Collibra, and you want it to be found in Data Marketplace, you have to select it in the Data Marketplace scope.
- If you delete an asset type, status, community, or domain in Collibra, and it was part of the Data Marketplace scope, it will no longer be visible in the Data Marketplace scope list, but will still be active in Data Marketplace for some time. Data Marketplace checks the configuration against Collibra daily and updates the configuration as needed. For more information, go to Automatic configuration updates.
