Data Lists
- Chichi
All K users can create their own data lists for ease of future use and sharing with others. This page will walk through how to create data lists and the benefits of grouping data assets via lists.
Benefits of a data list
Lists can help you organise your data ecosystem.
Similar to tags, any user can create a data list or add additional items to a data list. While tags can be quick to create and easily visible on a data profile page, there are certain benefits that a data list can provide over a tag.
Key benefits of a data list:
Follow data lists so that you are kept up to date on any changes/updates to any data assets in the list
You can add tags to data lists to help others easily find the data list and indicate what it relates to
You can link Knowledge or Collections to a Data list e.g. Decisions and Questions. This can be particularly helpful for creating a permanent list of data items and knowledge related to a project
In an upcoming release, we will be improving the functionality of Data Lists by enabling:
Bulk action on items in the data list e.g. bulk edit, bulk linkage
Private lists that only you or specific users that can access
Ability to bulk add items to data lists via search
Change log of when data items are added or removed from a list for audit purposes
Adding items to a list
Currently there are 3 ways you can add items to a data list :
Option 1: Via the Data Profile Page
| Click on the ‘Add to List’ icon on the top right hand corner |
|---|---|
Option 2: Via Search Page
| Right click on the data item
|
Option 3: Via Lineage Map | Right click on the data item in the Lineage map
