Access Catalog dashboard metrics to understand catalog activity, assess coverage, identify gaps, and see how assets are distributed across your catalog.
The Catalog Overview dashboard provides a consolidated view of catalog activity, coverage, and composition. Monitor contribution and engagement trends, identify coverage gaps, and understand the size and makeup of your catalog across business and technical assets, platforms, data sources, asset types, and domains.
The dashboard is organized into four areas:
- Summary cards: Quick-reference metrics at the top provide an overview of catalog activity, coverage, risk, and total assets.
- Adoption metrics: Detailed metrics show Contributions and Contributor Rate with breakdowns by assets, asset types, users, and activity types.
- Coverage metrics: Metrics show Classification Coverage, Quality Coverage, Semantic Type Coverage, Profiling Coverage, and Governance Coverage.
- Catalog Composition: Charts show the makeup of the catalog across business and technical assets, platforms, data sources, asset types, and domains.
- Search: Search activity metrics show total search volume, top queries, search method usage, and zero-result queries that need stewardship attention.
Adoption and coverage metrics can include detailed views that provide additional breakdowns. Tables within these views are sorted by the relevant metric and show the top results. Hover over column headers to see tooltips explaining what each metric represents.
Use the metrics as follows:
| Metric | Usage |
|---|---|
| Contributions | Track whether user engagement is increasing or decreasing over time. Rising contributions indicate growing adoption; declining contributions suggest you need to re-engage your stewardship community. |
| Contributor Rate | Identify what percentage of your user base is actively contributing. A low rate indicates participation gaps and opportunities to expand stewardship. |
| Top Contributors | Find your most active stewards and identify where participation gaps exist. Use this to recognize top contributors and recruit new stewards from inactive users. |
| Contribution Activity | See what types of edits users are making, for example, adding descriptions, tags, or relationships. This shows whether stewardship effort is focused on the right activities. |
| Top Assets and Top Asset Types | Determine where effort is concentrated and which assets or asset types need more attention. Use this to balance stewardship effort across your catalog. |
| Coverage metrics | Spot governance gaps. Low classification or profiling coverage shows assets that need attention. Low quality coverage shows assets without quality rules applied. Low governance coverage indicates assets lacking governance scores. |
| Catalog Composition | Understand the makeup of your catalog by comparing business and technical assets and reviewing how assets are distributed across platforms, data sources, asset types, and domains. |
| Search | Find what people search for, compare catalog search bar and Gio search activity, and review zero-result queries by team and recommended action. |
| High Risk Assets | Prioritize remediation efforts. Assets missing coverage across multiple dimensions pose the highest risk to data governance, so address them first. |
