Governance rules help ensure assets meet organizational standards by evaluating metadata fields, asset attributes, relationships, and predicates, with scores automatically calculated and displayed in real time.

Prerequisites: The asset types (such as, Business Term, Table, Column.) must be defined in the catalog.

To create a governance rule:
  1. Go to Governance > Rules tab. You will now see the list of existing governance rules or a message indicating no rules are present.

  2. The rules are listed in a table with columns:

    • Rule: Name of the rule.
    • Dimension: The aspect or category the rule pertains to.
    • Target Asset Type: The asset type the rule applies to.
    • Target Assets: The number of assets that the rule applies to.
    • Status: The state of the rule's creation process. Examples include Completed, In Progress, Failed. This reflects where the rule stands in its setup workflow and is not a reflection of whether the rule is enabled or how it was evaluated.
    • Last Evaluated: The date and time when the rule was last evaluated.
  3. To create a new role, click Create Rule.

  4. A window will appear prompting for rule details. Fill in the required details:

    • Name: Enter a descriptive name for the rule.
    • Description (optional): Provide a detailed explanation of the rule's purpose and scope.
    • Dimension: Select or define the relevant dimension (such as Completeness, Maturity, etc).
    • Target asset type: Specify the asset type the rule applies to.
    • Scoring bands: Represents predefined ranges used to classify scores or performance metrics.
      • Poor: 0-80%
      • Average: 80-90%
      • Good: 90-100%
  5. Define the rule criteria or Pass condition based on metadata fields, asset attributes, relationships, or predicates:
    • Click Add condition to add multiple criteria for rule to be applicable.
    • Select the condition type: Metadata field, Relationship, or Predicate.
    • For metadata fields, select the field and choose the appropriate operator based on the evaluation type (Field, Relationship, Ownership).
    • Specify the values for comparison if applicable.
  6. Click Create to save the rule to add it to the list. The new rule will now appear in the list on the Rules page with default or specified details.
