After you configure governance items, Data Asset Governance detects governance issues in your tenant. You can navigate to the page to view the number of pending issues, affected assets, and details about specific tasks or tables. This helps you quickly find and resolve them.
Prerequisites
Governance items are configured. For more information, see Configure governance items.
Background information
Governance issues are detected based on the governance items that you configure for checking data within the current account.
The health score is calculated based on the governance items and the built-in health assessment model. A rating grade is provided based on your health score. For more information about health scores, see Quantitative assessment: health scores.
Data Asset Governance provides Global, Workspace View, and Individual views to review governance issues in a tenant. Generally, a higher number of issues results in a lower health score and a poorer governance rating. You must investigate and resolve existing issues promptly to achieve your governance goals.

Filter the list by Workspace, Data Source Classification, Table Owner, Status, or Label. You can also search by Asset Name or ID. The list displays matching items that you can optimize.
In addition, you can perform the following operations for data governance based on your business requirements:
-
View a table in a panoramic view.
In the Actions column, click Table 360 for a comprehensive overview of the table, including its basic information, governance issues, and task execution history.
-
Handle governance issues.
In the Actions column for an issue, select one of the following actions based on the issue details and recommended solution:
-
Click Add to Whitelist in the Actions column: You can whitelist issues that do not require action. Once an issue is whitelisted, it will not be detected again during the whitelist's validity period. You can also select multiple issues to add them to the whitelist in bulk. After adding issues to a whitelist, you can manage them centrally on the whitelist management page. For more information, see Add an invalid issue to a whitelist.
-
Click Create Plan in the Actions column: You can schedule the undeployment of tables or tasks that are no longer in use. For more information, see Graceful undeployment.
-
Click Change Lifecycle in the Actions column: You can change the node's lifecycle. Its task will then run on the configured schedule.
-
NoteYou can change the lifecycle of only governance issues in the Storage dimension.
After you change the lifecycle of a node, the system deletes the data that does not fall within the specified lifecycle every day. For more information, see Lifecycle.
If a non-partitioned table does not fall within the specified lifecycle, the entire table is deleted.
The lifecycle of a table starts from the time when the data in the table is last modified.
To handle governance issues related to tables, you may need to modify the lifecycles of the tables. The operations supported by different governance dimensions vary. You can perform the related operations based on the instructions in the DataWorks console.
The tags that are added to governance issues shown in this area are offline snapshots and cannot be modified. After you modify or add a new tag on the Tag Management page, snapshots are not updated in real time. Tag data takes effect on the next day. For more information, see Tag Management.
