Catalog Asset View - Difficulty

When in the asset view of the catalog, you can't see what business terms have been assigned to a column unless you click on the column (is this because the classes are considered the more important concept to display?). You also cannot search for a business term, class or column name in the asset view. For tables with more than 30 columns (and many of our tables are 100+ columns), this is frustrating.

Also the process of assigning a new business term in the asset view to a column is quite difficult when you have a lot of business terms. For example, if you use the Knowledge Accelerator then it is hard to find the business term you are looking for, even if you use its exact name.

    Hi Ariel, thank you for the feedback. The catalog asset view is an area that we have identified that needs improvement as well, and for the past year, we have been working closely with our design team on new designs for asset view, which we plan to begin implementing starting in Q4 2021, with more enhancements to come in 2022.

    One of the first things we plan to address is the display of columns and assigned terms in the first Overview page, so that the user does not need to click elsewhere to get the full picture.

    We'll be happy to share our plans with you, if you wish.

    Regards,

    Susanna Tai
