# Data Assets

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 List View

| Column                | Description                                          |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Asset name and type   | Table, view, model, workbook, or report.             |
| Source                | Which connector it came from.                        |
| Schema change history | How many schema changes have been detected.          |
| Downstream count      | Number of downstream assets that depend on this one. |
| Last detected change  | When the most recent schema change was recorded.     |

## 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.
