Manage the options for AI use cases. For example, create or manage an inventory for storing and reviewing AI use cases, customize report templates, or manage attachments.
Creating an inventory for AI use cases
You must have Admin rights for watsonx.governance to create and manage an inventory. You must also have a minimum role View for IAM Account Management services. For more information, see Collaboration roles.
If there is no Platform Access Catalog available for your account, you are prompted to create one. A Platform Access Catalog (PAC) is a platform catalog that provides a repository for inventory assets. It is required for governing external models or managing attachments and reports. For details, see Platform access catalog.
- Click Catalogs from the navigation menu to see the Inventories settings.
- Click New inventory.
- Assign a name, add an optional description, and associate a Cloud Object Storage instance.
Adding collaborators to an inventory
Inventories are meant to be collaborative so that multiple people that perform different roles can contribute to governance of key assets. To add collaborators to an inventory:
- From the settings menu for the inventory, click Set collaborators.
- Click Add collaborators to add collaborators individually, or by user group.
- Assign a role of Admin, Editor, or Viewer.
- Collaborators are added to the list for the inventory. You can remove or change the assigned access as needed.
Managing external models, report templates, and attachments
You can extend inventory management to include the ability to govern external models, customize report templates, and manage attachments for factsheets.
Enabling governance of external models
Enable governance for models that are created in notebooks or outside of Cloud Pak for Data. Track the results of model evaluations and model details in factsheets. You can store external models in the Platform assets catalog or choose an inventory.
- Open the inventory you want to use for manage external models.
- Click General to see the General settings.
- Click the toggle to enable External model management.
- Select an inventory for tracking external models.
- Select an owner, then click Apply.
Managing report templates
Manage report templates to customize the reports inventory users can create.
For details, see Managing report templates.
Managing attachments
Create and manage attachment groups for AI use cases to provide the structure for users to attach supporting files to enrich a use case or a factsheet. For example, if you want every use case to include approval documents, you can create a group to define placeholders for those documents in each use case. Users can then upload the documents to those placeholder slots.
For more information, see Managing attachments.
