Embedded Governance

Embedded Governance helps you include critical governance information directly the reports and dashboards that are used by the business.

Using K, you can generate code that can be directly embedded into the report canvas (e.g. Power BI or Tableau). This code will present information such as the report category and report owner that has been configured in K.

What’s in the Governance widget

The governance widget displays the following information sourced from K:

Category
Owners
Terms
Issues
Linked Teams Channel
Warning notices
A More details link that takes you directly to the Data profile page

The data widget can be shown in two formats:

Compact format:

Long format:
