# Data Products
> Define and manage data products as part of your governance strategy to track ownership, value, and metadata lineage efficiently.
# Data Products
A Data Product packages curated data assets under a single entity with defined ownership, type, and visibility. Create one from the **Data Marketplace**, or from within a **Domain** if it belongs to a specific one. This guide walks through both paths, plus adding assets, input and output ports, and finding a data product's assets from the Explore page.
## Add a Data Product
To create a new data product, follow these steps:
### Step 1: Access Data Products
1. In the left navigation bar, click **Data Marketplace**, then select **Data Products**.
2. Click **Add Data Product**.
### Step 2: Enter Data Product Details
* **Icon** and **Color**: Select an icon and color to visually identify the data product in the catalog.
* **Name** (required): Enter a unique identifier for the data product.
* **Display Name**: Enter a human-readable label shown throughout the UI.
* **Description** (required): Explain the data product's purpose, the data it contains, and any context other users need.
### Step 3: Add Tags and Glossary Terms
* **Tags**: Select classification tags to categorize the data product.
* **Glossary Terms**: Link the data product to relevant glossary terms.
### Step 4: Configure Data Product Settings
* **Domain** (required): Select the domain this data product belongs to.
* **Type**: Select a data product type, for example Dataset, Raw Data, Derived Data, Reports, or Analytic View.
* **Visibility**: Control who can discover this data product.
| Visibility | Access |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **Private** | Visible to the creator only. |
| **Invitation** | Visible to invited users. |
| **Dataspace** | Visible within the dataspace. |
| **Organisation** | Visible to all users in the organization. |
| **Public** | Visible to anyone. |
* **Portfolio Priority**: Indicate the data product's importance (Critical, High, Medium, or Low).
### Step 5: Assign People
* **Owners**: Select the users or teams responsible for the data product.
* **Experts**: Select individual users with deep knowledge of the data product.
* **Reviewers**: Select users who review and approve changes to the data product.
### Step 6: Save Data Product
Click **Save**. The data product appears in the Data Products list.
## Add a Data Product from Within a Domain
If a data product belongs to a specific domain, create it directly from that domain instead:
1. Navigate to **Data Marketplace** > **Domains**, then open the domain the data product should belong to.
2. Click **Add** and select **Data Products**.
3. Follow [Add a Data Product](#add-a-data-product) steps 2 to 6.
In the **Data Products** tab, you can view the list of all data products related to the selected domain.
## Add Data Assets to the Data Product
1. From the Data Products list, open the data product's detail page.
2. Click **Add Assets**.
3. Search for assets, or use the filters (entity type, owner, tag, tier, service, service type) to narrow the results.
4. Select the assets to include, then click **Save**.
## Input Ports and Output Ports
Beyond general assets, a data product can declare which assets it **consumes** and which it **produces or exposes**: an ODCS/ODPS-aligned data contract concept that makes a data product's data flow explicit for lineage-style visualization.
* **Input Ports**: Data assets this data product consumes.
* **Output Ports**: Data assets this data product produces or exposes to consumers.
To add ports:
1. From the data product's detail page, go to the **Input/Output Ports** tab.
2. Under **Input Ports** or **Output Ports**, click **Add Port**.
3. Search for and select the assets to add, then click **Save**.
The tab also offers a **Ports Lineage** view, which visualizes input and output ports as a lineage-style graph alongside the data product.
**Governance Workflow Triggers for Data Products**
Changes to the following Data Product fields trigger configured governance approval workflows:
* **Input Ports**: Adding or removing assets as input ports.
* **Output Ports**: Adding or removing assets as output ports.
* **Glossary Terms**: Assigning or removing glossary terms.
If you have governance workflows configured to watch Data Product changes, they trigger on port and glossary term updates.
## View Data Assets in the Data Product from the Explore Page
1. In the left navigation bar, click **Explore**.
2. In the **Data Assets** dropdown, select **Data Product**.
3. All data products appear in the results. Click one to view its assets, documentation, and metadata.
