Asset Status

Asset Status

Before the data steward publishes a business term, business initiative, category, or policy, the data steward can change the status of the asset. Use the asset status property to show the validity or relevance of an asset. Glossary consumers can look up active and inactive assets in the
Library
workspace.
An asset can have one of the following statuses:
Active
A published asset is in the active state by default. Use the
Active
status to indicate that the asset is valid for the organization.
Inactive
Use the
Inactive
status to retire an asset if the asset is no longer valid for the organization. You cannot delete obsolete assets.

Example

Consider a term "Senior Sales Lead" in the sales glossary. The term is in use currently, but is not valid after six months because the organization decides to make the senior sales lead role redundant. The current status of the term is active. After six months, you can change the status of the term to inactive. The inactive status indicates that the role is no longer valid in the organization.
