Creating, Editing, or Deleting Responsibilities

A responsibility is the relationship between a contact (individual, team, or entity), whether internal or external to the company, and an item.

Why define Responsibilities?​

Defining responsibilities in the catalog allows you to list the different types of parties involved in the data or its documentation (examples: Data Owner, Data Steward, etc.). Assigning contacts to items will allow you to quickly and simply identify the person best suited to answer their questions.

Accessing the Catalog Design Page​

Creating, editing, and deleting responsibilities in Zeenea is done in the Catalog Design section of Zeenea Studio.

To access the Catalog Design page, click Catalog Design in the left pane:

Creating a New Responsibility​

  1. Click Catalog Design in the left pane.

  2. Click the New Responsibility button to access the responsibility creation screen:

  • Name: a Responsibility is defined by a unique name.
  • Read only: if checked, the responsibility is not available when adding a contact on an item.
note

It is also possible to import responsibilities from a connector. They are recognizable in the list of responsibilities by the mention "External source" and cannot be edited.

The following information is required to create a new Responsibility:

  • Name: The name will be used in particular in the Studio and Explorer interfaces to identify a Responsibility.
  • CodeThe: The code is a technical identifier that can be used particularly in APIs to uniquely identify a Responsibility.
  • Read-only: If checked, the responsibility is not proposed when adding a contact to an Object.
note

It is also possible to import Responsibilities from a connector. These are identified in the Responsibility list by the words "External source". These Responsibilities are non-editable, with the exception of their name. Source responsibilities also have a code prefixed by $z_.

Editing Responsibilities​

To edit an existing Responsibility, click the pencil icon next to the desired entry:

Deleting a Responsibility​

  1. Click on the name of the desired responsibility in the Responsibilities section to open the editing screen.
  2. Click the Delete button.

To be deleted, the responsibility must meet two conditions:

  • It must not be imported from a connector.
  • If necessary, remove the connector from your agent.
  • It must not be implemented on an item.

If necessary, remove all contacts assigned to this responsibility in the Catalog section beforehand.
