How to report on assets

πŸ€“ Who can do this? You must be an admin user in Atlan to view the reporting center. If enabled by admins, member users can also view the assets, glossary, Insights, and usage and cost dashboards. Permission to view the governance and automations dashboards is reserved for admin users only.

The assets dashboard in the reporting center helps you monitor your assets in Atlan. You can view a total count of all your assets as well as a summary of your assets by different categories, connectors, custom metadata, and more.

Filter assets

You can use a variety of filters to customize your view of asset metrics. For example, you can even drill down to the schema level for a more granular view.

 

To filter assets at the schema level:

  1. From the left menu in Atlan, click Reporting and then click Assets.
  2. Under Assets, for the All Asset Types filter, select an asset type β€” for this example, we'll select Table.
  3. For the All Connectors/Connections filter:
    1. Select a connector β€” for this example, we'll select Snowflake.
    2. Next, select a connection β€” for this example, we'll select the development connection.
  4. For the All Databases filter, select a database β€” for this example, we'll select the DBT_FOOD_BEVERAGE database.
  5. For the All Schemas filter, select a schema β€” for this example, we'll select the PUBLIC schema.
  6. (Optional) To further refine your search, click More filters.
  7. (Optional) Once the filtered assets are displayed, click any data point to view the assets in a sidebar.
  8. (Optional) In the top right of the sidebar, click the Export button to export filtered assets to a spreadsheet.

You will now be able to view metrics for your filtered assets! πŸŽ‰

Review enrichment completion

To view assets without metadata enrichment:

  1. From the left menu in Atlan, click Reporting and then click Assets.
  2. Under Asset Enrichment, navigate to the card you want to view β€” for this example, we'll select the With readme card.
