Create a Data Product
This section describes how to create a new Data Product using the four-step creation wizard: Basic Info, Select Assets, Set Quality SLA, and Summary.
Prerequisite
You must have a Domain Role with Data Products — Create permission. The assets you want to include must already be discovered and available in ADOC, with at least one policy configured on each asset for meaningful health scores.
Step 1: Basic Info
To open the Create Data Product wizard:
- From the left navigation menu, click Data Products and select Manage.
- On the Manage Data Products page, select Create Data Product in the top-right corner.
- The Create Data Product dialog opens on Step 1: Basic Info.
Complete the following fields:
Field | Description | Required |
Data Product Name | A unique name for the Data Product. This name appears in the Manage Data Products list and in the Marketplace. | Yes |
Description | A plain-language description of what this Data Product contains and its purpose. | No |
Business Justification | The business goals or use cases this product supports. | No |
Select Next to proceed to Step 2, or Save & Exit to save the product as a Draft and close the wizard.
Step 2: Select Assets
In this step, you must select the data assets to include in the Data Product. Assets from any connected data source are available for selection.
Use the filters to narrow the asset list:
Filter | Description |
Data Source | Filter by a specific connected data source. |
Source Type | Filter by the type of data source (for example, Snowflake, SAP HANA, Google Cloud Storage). |
Asset Type | Filter by asset type (Table, View, File, and so on). |
Profiled | Filter to show only profiled assets, unprofiled assets, or all assets. |
Use Search by asset name to locate specific assets by name. Select the checkbox next to each asset you want to add. The total selected count is shown above the table as Total X assets are selected for the data product. To remove a selected asset, clear its checkbox. You can also remove an asset from the Summary step.
Select Next to proceed to Step 3, or Save & Exit to save progress as a Draft.
Note
The asset table displays Reliability Score, Open Alerts, Tags, Profiled status, and Data Quality for each asset, allowing you to evaluate asset health before adding it to the product.
Step 3: Set Quality SLA
In Step 3, you select the Quality SLAs to monitor for the Data Product. Quality SLAs define which policy types ADOC enforces and tracks across all member assets.
Quality SLA | What It Enforces |
Data Quality | Enforces data quality rules across all assets in the Data Product. |
Reconciliation | Enforces reconciliation rules across all assets in the Data Product. |
Data Freshness | Enforces freshness monitoring for all assets in the Data Product. |
Profile Anomaly | Enforces profile anomaly policies across all assets in the Data Product. |
Data Drift | Enforces data drift monitoring across all assets in the Data Product. |
Select the checkbox for each Quality SLA you want to enable. If a Quality SLA is not selected, ADOC does not monitor the corresponding check for this Data Product.
Select Next to proceed to the Summary, or Save & Exit to save progress as a Draft.
Step 4: Review and Create
Step 4 shows a summary of the Data Product configuration before creation. Review each section before selecting Create.
Section | What It Shows |
Description and Business Justification | The values entered in Step 1. Navigate back to edit. |
Selected Assets | The full list of member assets with their data source path. Select Edit to return to Step 2 and modify the selection, or select the X next to any asset to remove it directly from the Summary. |
Quality SLAs | The Quality SLA options selected in Step 3, shown as checked or unchecked. Select Edit to return to Step 3 and modify. |
Review all sections. Select Previous to go back to any step, or select Edit within a section to modify a specific part of the configuration.
Select Create to create the Data Product. The product is created in Draft state and appears in the Manage Data Products list.
Note
Selecting Save & Exit at any step saves the Data Product as a Draft without completing the wizard. You can return to a Draft product from the Manage Data Products page to continue configuration at any time.
Actions Menu
The Actions menu in the top-right corner of the Data Product detail page provides the following actions for managing a Data Product:
Action | Description |
Publish Data Product | Publishes the Data Product, making it visible in the Data Products Marketplace. Available when the product is in Draft state. |
Edit Data Product | Opens the Data Product creation wizard with the existing configuration pre-filled, allowing you to update the name, description, business justification, assets, and Quality SLAs. |
Add Assets | Opens the asset picker to add more assets to the Data Product without going through the full edit flow. |
Set Quality SLA | Opens the Quality SLA configuration step to update which Quality SLAs are monitored for this Data Product. |
The Actions menu is available only when viewing a Data Product from Data Products > Manage. When viewing a Data Product from the Marketplace, these actions are not available — the Marketplace provides a read-only view of published Data Products. For more information, seeData Products | Marketplace.
Edit a Data Product
- On the Data Product detail page, select Actions > Edit Data Product.
- The creation wizard opens with the existing configuration pre-filled. Navigate through the steps to update the name, description, business justification, asset selection, or Quality SLAs.
- Select Save & Exit to save changes as a Draft, or complete all steps and select Create to apply the changes.
Note
Editing a Data Product updates its version number. The change is recorded in the Versions tab with the name of the field that was modified. For more information, see Data Products | Detail Page.
Retire a Data Product
A Data Product can be retired from the Marketplace by setting its status to Draft in the Manage Data Products page. This action can only be performed by users with the appropriate permissions.
Publish a Data Product
Publishing a Data Product makes it visible to consumers in the Data Products Marketplace. Once published, any authenticated user with the Data Products feature permission can discover and view the product.
Prerequisite
You must have a Domain Role with Data Products — Publish permission. The Data Product must be in Draft state.
Publish from Draft stage
- Open the Data Product you want to publish.
- Select Actions > Publish Data Product.
- Confirm the action in the dialog that appears. The Data Product status changes from Draft to Published and becomes visible in the Data Products Marketplace.
