DataWorks:Configure governance items

Last Updated:Apr 01, 2025

Governance items are used to manage and govern data after a file is deployed. Data governance engineers can view the governance items of a project from the global, individual, or workspace dimensions. This way, the engineers can quickly identify and resolve issues and help achieve the data governance objective of the team. This topic describes how to view and configure governance items.

Background information
