Creating a Warning Notice

The quickest way to create a warning notice is via the Data Profile page

• Step 1) Click on the Add button at the top right corner

• Step 2) Click Add warning notice

• Step 3) Click Create a new warning notice

  • If the warning notice was previously created or used for another data asset, you can try searching for the warning notice and linking that warning notice to this data asset as well

• Step 4) Complete the warning notice details and click Create

  • Keep the name as concise as possible. The name will populate in the warning bars and governance widgets

  • All warning notices are timebound. You must set an expiry date/time

Re-using / Linking Warning Notices

To quickly open the instance, click on the Menu icon and click on Go to warning notice

On the Warning Notice page, you can easily:

• Update the warning message and description

• Check if there are other data assets linked to this warning message via the Related tab

• De-activate or extend the warning message
