Status Planned for future release
Workspace Knowledge Catalog

Show description in table view(Available Assets list)

Problem statement/pain point:

Table view = Available asset list in main panel, we can see “NAME”, “OWNER”, “TAGS”, “TYPE”, “DATE ADDED” as items in this asset list.

We can not see other information about detail of the assets(such as description) with staying in the main panel.(sure we can see detail and metadata include description in panel for each asset)

User wan t to have information that the asset is reusable for their projects.

In this use case, in order to streamline the determination of reusability, we established rules to write 3 items in description

  1. Overview of the asset
  2. Scenario of reuse
  3. Data volume and refresh cyle (in case of data asset)

As a workaround against user can not see description in main panel, user select and open panels for each assets one by one.

This cause user cannot compare overview and detail information among relevant assets, can not selection reusable asset effectively.

Proposed solution:

Show description in table view(Available Assets list)

benefits/value:

Users can view and compare detailed information of candidate assets while staying in the main panel

# of users impacted and how often are they impacted:

For this instance, from several to ten users, and always impacted in now, but this use case is trial, impacted user will be growth in near future.

Also this function will be impact to decision to renew or stop Watson Knowledge Catalog Standard plan which is purchased in now.
