Basic Attributes
All types that represent assets include the basic attributes. The following table describes the basic attributes that are available in each CentraSite graphical user interface.
Attribute
Description
Control UI
Business UI
Name
The name under which the asset is cataloged.
Description
A descriptive comment that provides additional information about an asset.
Key
The Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) that is assigned to the asset and uniquely identifies it within the registry. CentraSite automatically assigns a UUID to an asset when the asset is added to the registry.
Version
The user-assigned version identifier for an asset. The user-assigned identifier can include any sequence of characters. It is not required to be numeric.
System Version
The system-assigned version number that CentraSite maintains for its own internal use. CentraSite automatically assigns this identifier to an asset when a version of the asset is created. The system-assigned identifier is always numeric and always has the format:
MajorVersion.Revision
Where:
*MajorVersion is an integer that represents the asset's version number. This value is incremented by one when a new version of the asset is generated (for example, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0).
*Revision is an integer that represents an update to a particular version of an asset. When the revisioning feature is enabled for CentraSite, the Revision number is incremented each time a change is made to the asset (for example, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2).
An asset's System Version attribute cannot be deleted or modified by a user.
Created
The date on which the asset was added to the catalog. CentraSite automatically sets this attribute when a user adds the asset to the catalog. Once it is set, it cannot be modified.
Last Modified
The date on which the catalog entry for the asset was last updated. CentraSite automatically updates this attribute when a user modifies any of the asset's attributes.
Organization
The organization to which the asset belongs.
Owner
The user who currently owns the asset. CentraSite automatically sets this attribute when a user adds the asset to the catalog.
Lifecycle State
The asset's current lifecycle state. If a lifecycle model has been associated with an asset type, CentraSite updates this attribute as the asset passes through its lifecycle.
Last Updated
The date on which an instance of the asset was last updated. CentraSite automatically updates this attribute when a user modifies any of the asset's attributes.
Consumers
The list of users, applications, and arbitrary assets that are registered to consume the asset.
Watchers
The list of users registered to receive notifications when changes are made to the asset.
Pending Approvals
The list of pending approval requests.
An asset can also have any number of additional attributes that are specific to the asset's type. For example, an asset might include attributes that do the following:
*Provide contact information for technical support (for example, phone numbers and email addresses)
*Classify the asset according to one or more taxonomies
*Describe an asset's relationship to other assets or registry objects
*Specify details regarding system requirements and technical specifications
*Provide links to additional information such as program documentation, sample code, or usage notes
