Adding assets to a catalog

You must have the Editor or Admin role in the catalog to add assets to it.

To add an asset to a catalog, click Add to catalog on the catalog Browse page, import metadata, or publish the asset from a project:

• Add a file
• Add a connection
• Add data from a connection
• Add a folder asset from a connection
• Import metadata
• Publish assets from a project
• Import assets from Information Governance Catalog

You can quickly add all tables from a connection as data assets to a project, from which you can publish them to the catalog. See Discovering data assets.

You can also import a selected set of tables from a connection as data assets directly to the catalog. Or, you can add them to a project and publish them from there. See Metadata import.

Watch this short video to see how to add assets to a catalog.
