Publishing assets

When the assets are approved, a publisher must publish them to data catalog.

About this task

Before the assets are available to everyone in the catalog, a user with the publisher role must review them and decide whether it's safe to publish them to the catalog. You can publish new assets, and changes to existing assets.

Required role
You must have one of the following roles:
  • Information Governance Catalog Administrator
  • Information Governance Catalog Glossary Author. When you want to delete a term or category with this role, you must have permissions to the parent category of the deleted category or term.
Additionally, you must have the Publisher workflow role assigned.
Tip: To see all assets that are ready for publishing, in Catalog select asset types, and in the search results list use advanced filter Workflow status.

Procedure

  1. Go to Workflow.
  2. Select the task that you want to work on.
    You can sort the list by the following factors:
    • Recently opened
    • Due soon
    Alternatively, the actions to publish or reject the assets are also available in the details page of the asset.
  3. Review the request and complete one of the following steps:
    • To publish the asset, click Publish new asset or Publish changes. The asset is published to the catalog.
    • To reject the asset, click Reject draft or Reject changes and provide a justification. When you reject the asset, the workflow process is started again, and an editor must apply further changes to the asset.
