Data Documentation Coverage
The Data Documentation Coverage dashboard is designed to empower Data Governance people with valuable insights into their data landscape.
What does it mean?
See which assets are missing an owner
Find out your global documentation coverage
Drill down by databases, schemas, tables and users
See which data sets are the most/least documented
Which of your very important asset are missing documentation
Identify where you need to take actions and improve the governance and knowledge of your assets
Where to find it
As an admin, go to your "Governance" page and you'll see an "Analytics" tab. Click on Data Documentation Coverage
Navigate the dashboard content using the tabs
Overview
Get an overview of your datasets and who is actively documenting!
Ownership and documentation coverage
Once filtered, navigate to the View par warehouses, databases, schemas or tables so you can see those percentages at the granularity that makes sense for your use case.
Ownership: A table is owned when it has an assigned owner (user or teams). Having a technical owner (imported for the warehouse) is not considered as having an owner
Table description: A table is considered as described once it has a non-empty readme section or a source description
Columns description: A column is considered as described once the description field is not empty anymore
For both tables and columns, a "non-empty" description means either a description in Catalog or an external description that we imported from your warehouse.
You can also leverage the"View per Owners" tab to check who should spend more time documenting in Catalog.
Give us your thoughts about this feature so we can improve it! Slack is the best mean but a email works as well
Export raw data
On any of these dashboard element, you can download the underlying raw data. Simply click on the ... on the top right corner of the element.
Then click on Download results
Take actions
Once you've identified the the missing owners or descriptions, here's an example of the next steps you could take:
Search for an item from the searchbar at the top of the page or from the advanced search page, so you can assign an owner, comment on the page to notify the admin, review the documentation, etc.
Leverage the Metadata Editor page to massively assign ownership for instance - See documentation here
