Create an Asset from your Data Catalog
A regular synchronization takes place between the Platform and your local Data Catalog.
Any Assets in your Catalog that are tagged for inclusion in the Platform are automatically created and the associated Asset Data is copied onto the Platform so that it can be accessed via a Data Share.
Assets created from your Catalog are in a LIVE state on the Platform which means they are ready to be consumed or added to a Product.
You must first prepare the data in Your Data Catalog (Assets)
The Asset in your Data Catalog is automatically created in the Platform with the following default information:

Your Data Catalog (Assets)
What is Data Classification ?
A ADGovClassification property reflects the highest applicable classification label associated with an Asset.
All Assets must have a Classification before being made available in the Platform.
The permitted Classifications and associated weightings are as follows:
Open (weight: 1)
Confidential (weight: 2)
Sensitive (weight: 3)
Secret (weight: 4)
What are Dynamic Data Quality Scores?
The Data Quality Scores associated with an Asset are dynamic and can include the following:
Uniqueness
Consistency
Completeness
Accuracy
BlankValues
These are used to calculate the Dynamic Data Quality Scores for any Product that contains the Asset.
