Accessing the Asset Side Drawer

Clicking on a displayed asset in the Asset List panel or Child Tag side drawer will open the Asset side drawer from the left side of the screen.

Structure of the Asset Side Drawer

The Asset side drawer is broadly divided into two sections, upper and lower.

• The upper half of the side drawer displays the Basic Metadata. Most of the metadata shown here is common regardless of the asset's data type or asset type.
• The lower half of the side drawer displays the Detailed Metadata. Lineage, statistics, access logs, and property sets are displayed as tabs, but the information shown varies depending on the asset's data type and asset type. Also, information for which the administrator or operator has not granted access will not be displayed.

Basic Metadata

The following information is displayed as basic metadata from top to bottom in the side drawer.
When you hover over the items in the table below that are checked under [Comment], a Comment icon will appear. Clicking this icon will allow you to view or post comments. For details, see Adding Comments and Managing Threads.

Detailed Metadata

The following information is displayed as detailed metadata, shown as tabs from left to right in the side drawer. The items and their order vary depending on the asset's data type and asset type.
When you hover over the items in the table below that are checked under [Comment], a Comment icon will appear, allowing you to view or post comments. For details, see Adding Comments and Managing Threads.

For assets with a csv data source type, the information displayed in the tabs may also vary depending on the administrator's or operator's policies. For details, please contact your operator or administrator.

Basic Metadata

Path

Displays the parent-child and ancestor relationships within the catalog leading to the asset, showing the physical name and an icon indicating the asset type.

• Clicking on another asset displayed in the path will switch the display to that asset.
• If you do not have access to an asset shown in the path, the asset name will display as unauthorized, and clicking will not change the display.

Asset Name

Displays the asset name. The display varies depending on the asset name display selection made in the asset list panel (Switching Asset Name Display).

For assets of agent data sources and data type BI Data, if a description or comment is registered in the corresponding metadata (such as a dashboard) in your organization's business intelligence service, that information is displayed.

Detailed Metadata

The following detailed metadata and information managed by QDIC are displayed as tabs from left to right in the side drawer. The items and their order vary depending on the asset's data type and asset type.

Child Assets (DB)

For assets with data type DB Data, a list of child assets is displayed in table format. The tab label is the type of child asset. For example, if the asset displayed in the side drawer is a table, the corresponding tab label will be "Column".

• Clicking the physical or logical name of an asset in the table will switch the display to that asset.

  Displayed only if you have access to analysis information. When selected, displays statistical information in the table. For details, see Column Tab Analysis.
• Filter icon
  Clicking displays a popup to select which items to show in the table. By default, all items are selected.
• [Search] field
  Entering a keyword performs a fuzzy search on child assets. Search targets are the physical name, logical name, and description of child assets. The number of search results is displayed above the table. If no keyword is entered, the total number of child assets is displayed.

Child Assets (BI)

For assets with data type BI Data, a list of child assets is displayed in card format. Clicking a child asset switches the display to that asset.

Entering a keyword in the [Search] field performs a fuzzy search on child assets. Search targets are the physical name, logical name, and description of child assets.

External

For assets of agent data sources, information may be obtained from corresponding metadata (such as tables) in your organization's services and displayed as follows (target services are limited):

Whether the following external information is obtained from the service and registered in the catalog is determined by the administrator or environment operator.

• Sharing status displays the cross-reference relationships for databases with data sharing relationships between multiple Snowflake accounts, but only if both databases with the sharing relationship are configured to obtain their sharing relationships from the service.
  
  Example: If the asset (database) DB1 displayed in the side drawer is shared from another asset (database) SALES, the following is displayed. (DB1 is a shared database, and the actual database is SALES.)
  
  Example: If the asset (database) DB1 displayed in the side drawer is sharing to another asset (database) SALES, the following is displayed. (DB1 is the actual database, and SALES is the shared database.)
  
  In the above examples, if there is a corresponding asset for SALES in the catalog, clicking it will switch the display to the Asset side drawer for the SALES asset.
   
• External tags may not exist in the catalog.
• For Power BI services, external owner information may not exist in the catalog.

Data Layout

If the asset's service is Snowflake and both of the following apply, the data layout is displayed in table format. For the actual configuration in your organization, contact your operator or administrator.

• For agent data sources
• If the environment operator has set up the connector to obtain data layout

The displayed data layout is an analysis of sampled actual data from corresponding metadata (table or view) in your organization's service (data warehouse), formatted to mimic the data format. Note that it may differ from the actual data.
