Asset State

Asset State

The asset phase and asset status represent the state of an asset such as a business term, business initiative, category, or policy. The Analyst tool changes the phase of an asset based on the task that the content manager performs to publish the asset. The data steward can manually change the asset status.
Data stewards collaborate with other business users in the organization to collect information required to configure the asset properties. After creating a draft asset, the data steward can choose to publish the asset after a simple approval or an approval workflow. The approval workflow involves a voting process.
During simple approval, stakeholders review the assets to approve the publication of the asset. Glossary consumers can view published assets. Data stewards can change the status of a published asset to indicate if the asset is valid for the organization.
The following image shows the tasks that the data steward and stakeholder perform to publish Glossary assets after a simple approval:
The data steward creates a glossary asset. The stakeholder reveiws the glossary asset. The data steward publishes or rejects the glossary asset. Glossary consumers see published assets.
Data steward and stakeholders perform the following tasks to publish Glossary assets as part of the simple approval process:
  1. The data steward creates the Glossary asset in a glossary.
  2. Optionally, the data steward edits the Glossary asset.
  3. The stakeholder reviews the Glossary asset and communicates approval.
  4. Based on the review, the data steward either publishes the Glossary asset for glossary consumers to view, or rejects the asset. Glossary consumers cannot view rejected assets.
