The DIM_DATA_RESOURCE dimension table provides a centralized reference for assets and their associated metadata. It captures key attributes such as asset identifiers, type, descriptive properties, and event timestamps. Each record is uniquely identified for accurate tracking and auditing. This table is designed to support asset management, classification, and reporting across the platform. Below are some of the scenarios where this Report is beneficial:
