Data Assets is the full inventory of everything Datawise tracks in your stack. It gives you a single place to browse tables, dbt models, and BI reports, see their schema change history, and understand how critical they are based on downstream exposure.

​
What’s an Asset?

  • Warehouse tables and views — from Snowflake, BigQuery, or Postgres.
  • dbt models — synced from your dbt Cloud project.
  • Tableau workbooks — ingested from your connected Tableau site.
  • Power BI reports — ingested from your connected Power BI workspace.
Assets appear after the first successful ingestion run for each connector.

Asset Detail View

Click any asset to open the detail view:
  • Schema — current columns, data types, and nullability.
  • Change History — chronological log of all detected schema changes.
  • Downstream Assets — all assets that depend on this one, resolved through lineage.
  • Upstream Assets — all assets this one depends on.

​
Criticality

Datawise uses downstream count as a proxy for criticality. An asset with 20 downstream dependencies is more critical than one with 2. Use it to prioritize which assets deserve the most attention when a schema change is detected.
