Before starting in Zeenea as a Data Steward, a few requirements must be met:

Checkmark Circle

Prerequisites checklist:

  • Your user account must be associated with a group of type "Data Steward"
  • At least one scanner must be installed and connected to your catalog
  • The metamodels of your items must be defined
  • Responsibilities to be assigned to contacts in the catalog must be defined
  • An inventory of the connection(s) for which you are responsible as Data Steward must have been made by an administrator

Once these conditions have been met, you can proceed with the steps below.

Step 1: Log in to your Dashboard

The dashboard is the home page of the Data Steward's Zeenea Studio application. Once logged in, you will find on this page the main management indicators of your perimeter.

It is therefore your main entry point to access the datasets for which you are responsible as Data Steward.

Browse the catalog items

  1. Log in to the Catalog section of the left menu to explore the items already imported
  2. Discover the connections and items already in place between your information system and the catalog

Step 2: Import items from a connection

If you are responsible for curation and import on one or more connections, start selecting the items you want to document first using our import path.

  • If no item has been assigned to you yet: Log in to the "Catalog" section and use the filters to find the desired items
