Summary of Views¶
The Summary pill contains all the basic information about the current view.

The Summary pill shows the basic information about the view¶
This information consists of:
A description about the view. At first, it is obtained from Virtual DataPort. However, if you have the proper permissions, you will see a
icon next to the description. Click it and define a new description, which will be specific to the Data Catalog.
The Data Catalog can have its own description for a view, in plain text or HTML¶
The domains and categories the view belong to. If you are allowed to assign domains and categories you will see the option Actions > Add Category in the header. Click it to edit the domains or categories.
In the dialog to edit the domains or categories the current list is highlighted in blue¶
The people who endorsed this view. Since Data Catalog 8.0, users can write comments on views to show their support. The Endorsements section displays each endorsement along with its author. You can edit your own comment clicking
. Depending on your permissions, you may also be able to edit other people’s comments.
If you are allowed to create endorsements, you will see the option Actions > Endorse in the header. Click it and write your comment. Take into account that you can only endorse a view once. If you write a new comment, the previous endorsement will be replaced.
The people who warned against this view. In the same way that users can support views writing endorsements, they can advise against them writing warnings. The Warnings section displays each warning along with its author. You can edit your own comment clicking
. Depending on your permissions, you may also be able to edit other people’s comments.
If you are allowed to write warnings, you will see the option Actions > Warn in the header. Remember that you can only write one warning against a view.
In addition, an administrator of the Data Catalog can add
custom properties to the view to improve
the information you have about it. If they are configured to appear in the
Summary pill, you will see a collapsible section for each group of custom
properties. With the proper permissions, you will find a icon next to
each custom property to edit it.
If you are allowed to assign property groups and at least one group contains properties, the Actions > Add property group option will be available in the header. Click it to edit the property groups. Only groups that contains properties will be displayed.
