Assets usage governance
This is a value-added feature. Make sure the corresponding value-added service is enabled for your system version.
1. Feature overview
- Based on lineage data, this feature shows the basic information of assets in the project and their upstream and downstream relationships
- It also provides Quick Filter and Advanced Filter features so that you can get the asset lists you need for asset governance
2. Usage
List page
List page description
- Advanced Filter: Filter by a combination of asset properties to locate the assets that need governance. Click the gear on the right to customize advanced filter rules.
- Quick Filter: Filter simply by the basic information of assets. Click the gear on the right to customize the quick filter fields.
- After you configure the filter conditions, click Query to run the query.
- Search by asset name / display name.
- Download: Download all data that matches the search and filter conditions.
- Batch Management: After filtering assets, perform batch operations by type.
- The number of assets that match the current search / filter conditions.

- The saved rules list. Drag the handle on the left to change the order.
direct dependency assets count
Direct dependency assets description
Click the number in the direct dependency assets count column of the list to view the Assets sheet:
- The list page data is updated hourly and may differ slightly from the detailed list data.
- Download the current list data.
number of assets affected
Affected assets description
Click the number in the number of assets affected column of the list to view the Assets sheet:
- The list page data is updated hourly and may differ slightly from the detailed list data.
- Download the current list data.
lineage graph
Lineage graph description
In the lineage graph column of the list, click View to open the asset's lineage graph:
- The current asset.
- Upstream nodes of the asset.
Recent approx. calculation time
Recent calculation time description
Click the time in the Recent approx. calculation time column of the list to view recent calculation logs:
- The list page data is updated hourly and may differ slightly from the detailed list data. Query requests that hit the cache have no calculation time data.
3. Batch asset operations
- After you get the list of assets to govern with quick filter and advanced filter, you can govern the assets with the [Batch Management] feature. To use [Batch Management], your project role needs the Edit permission for Assets (feature details: allows you to use the batch editing feature in Assets usage governance). Click the Batch Operation Logs icon in the page header to view the batch operation logs
A single Batch Management operation can select up to 1,000 assets. If you have many assets to govern, process them in batches
Batch Management
| Operation | Supported assets | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Information Export | All assets | Export the list page information as an Excel file |
| SQL Definition Export | SQL reports, SQL tags and cohorts, custom properties | Export the SQL definition statements of assets |
| Dashboard update and freeze | Dashboards | Set dashboard schedules, freeze status, and more |
| Disable Auto Update | Tags, cohorts | Disable Auto Update |
| Disable Auto Backup | Tags | Disable Auto Backup |
| Hand over assets | Tags, cohorts, dashboards, reports, alerts, metrics | Change the owner of assets |
| Delete | Reports, dashboards, tags, cohorts, alerts, metrics, custom events, custom properties, temporary tables, dimension tables, tables, entities, events, user properties, event properties, dashboard space filters, model-mapping configurations | Delete assets |
4. Limits
- Basic information on the list page, such as asset display name, asset name, and asset type, is updated in real time
- direct dependency assets count, number of assets affected, and calculation time data are updated hourly
- accumulative impact, Number of queries in the last 90 days, and space usage are updated daily
- A single Batch Management operation can select up to 1,000 assets. If you have many assets to govern, process them in batches
5. FAQ
-
Why does "number of assets affected" show 1 on the page but 2 when I click to view details?
The data on the page is updated hourly. When you click for details, the system queries the latest data and shows it in a dialog
So in some cases the two may differ slightly -
Why is "Number of queries in the last 90 days" 5, but I can only see 2 records in "Recent approx. calculation time"?
When a user queries a report, the system first tries to get results from the cache. When the cache is hit, no new query is run, which keeps overall performance high
In this case, 3 query requests hit the cache, and only 2 requests triggered calculation and recorded time data
