Library Tasks

You can manage the collection of assets that you have the privilege to access and perform library tasks.

You can perform the following library tasks:

Perform a discovery search.: A discovery search finds assets and their relationships with other assets in an organization. For example, you need to find where all the customer information exists in a financial organization. Perform discovery search to find data objects that meet the search criteria for a customer search string. The discovery search results include assets related to the data object that you searched for in the Analyst tool. The related assets include profiles run against the data object, associated scorecards, and business terms.
For more information, see the Data Discovery Guide
.
View assets.: When you look up Model repository content from a section in the Library Navigator, the Analyst tool displays the list of assets in an asset list. For example, when you select
Data Objects
, the Analyst tool displays a list of data objects that you have the privilege to access.
From the Library Navigator, click the
Assets
section and select an asset. You can view the list of assets that belong to the asset list.
View glossaries.: View glossaries that you have the privilege to access. When you select a glossary from the
Glossary

From the Library Navigator, click the
Glossaries
section and select a glossary. You can view glossary assets in asset list.
View projects.: View projects and folders and their contents. When you select a project or folder, the Analyst tool lists the contents of the project or folder in the asset list.
