Asset consumption is a key step in determining the value of data assets. This process securely and conveniently provides processed data assets to data consumers, such as data warehouse developers and users in operations, sales, and product roles. These consumers can analyze the data they have permission to access, which supports business decisions and creates new value for business development.
Prerequisites
You have purchased the Asset Operation and Asset Consumption value-added services. The Asset Catalog and Asset Consumption features must be enabled for the current tenant.
