# Sync data products

> how-to: Steps to accomplish one task.

In this article, you will learn how to sync Purview data products and data assets into CluedIn data sources. This feature works only if Azure Data Factory (ADF) automation is enabled and configured. For more information, see [Azure Data Factory pipeline automation](https://documentation.cluedin.net/solutions/purview/data-factory-pipeline-automation.md).

## Preparation

To sync Purview data products and data assets into CluedIn data sources, complete 2 preparation steps:

1. [Prepare a data product in Purview](#preparation-in-purview) – create a governance domain and a glossary term to act a filter for the data products you want to sync, create a data product and add data assets and a glossary term to it, publish the prepared resources, and finally assign the appropriate roles to Purview service principal in the governance domain.

2. [Configure settings in CluedIn](#preparation-in-cluedin) – enable the sync data products feature in Purview settings and provide the glossary term to identify the data products for syncing.

### Preparation in Purview

**To create a governance domain**

1. In the [Microsoft Purview portal](https://purview.microsoft.com), navigate to **Unified Catalog** > **Catalog management** > **Governance domain**.

1. Select **new governance domain**.

    ![The Governance domains page in Purview Unified Catalog, with New governance domain highlighted](https://documentation.cluedin.net/assets/images/microsoft-integration/purview/sync-data-products-new-governance-domain.png)

1. Enter the **Name** of the governance domain.

1. Enter the **Description** of the governance domain.

1. Select the **Type** of the governance domain.

    ![The New governance domain pane with Name Customer Domains, a Description, and Type set to Data domain](https://documentation.cluedin.net/assets/images/microsoft-integration/purview/sync-data-products-new-governance-domain-creation.png)

1. Select **Save**.

The governance domain should have a dedicated glossary term that acts as a filter for the data products you want to sync.

**To create a glossary term for a governance domain**

1. On the governance domain details page, in the glossary terms card, select **View all**.

1. Select **New term**.

1. Enter the **Name** and **Description** of the term.

1. Select **Create**.

When the glossary term is created, note two methods for obtaining its identification:

1. The name of the glossary term.

1. The ID of the glossary term, which can be found in the URL.

    ![The Data Product Sync glossary term page, with callout a on the term name and callout b on the termId value in the browser URL](https://documentation.cluedin.net/assets/images/microsoft-integration/purview/sync-data-products-glossary-term-identification.png)

    ![The New data product Basic details step, with Name Customer Journey, a Description, and Type set to Master data and reference data](https://documentation.cluedin.net/assets/images/microsoft-integration/purview/sync-data-products-new-data-product.png)

1. Select **Next**.

1. Enter the **Use cases** for the data product.

1. Select **Done**.

**To add data assets to the data product**

1. On the data product details page, expand the **Add data assets** dropdown list, and then select **Find and select**.

1. Find and select the data asset that you want to add to the data product.

    ![The Find and select pane with the Employee and Customer Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 assets selected](https://documentation.cluedin.net/assets/images/microsoft-integration/purview/sync-data-products-find-and-select.png)

1. Select **Add**.

    As a result, the data assets are added to the data product.

**To add a glossary term to the data product**

1. On the data product details page, in the **Glossary terms** section, select **Add**.

1. Find and select the glossary term that you want to add to the data product.

    ![The Search and select pane with the Data Product Sync glossary term selected and the Add button](https://documentation.cluedin.net/assets/images/microsoft-integration/purview/sync-data-product-select-glossary-term.png)

1. Select **Add**.

    As a result, the glossary term is added to the data product.

    ![The Customer Journey data product page with two data assets and the Data Product Sync glossary term added](https://documentation.cluedin.net/assets/images/microsoft-integration/purview/sync-data-products-details-page.png)

**To publish a governance domain**

- On the governance domain details page, select **Publish**.

    ![The Customer Domains governance domain details page in Draft status, with Publish highlighted](https://documentation.cluedin.net/assets/images/microsoft-integration/purview/synd-data-products-publish.png)

    After successful publishing, the status of the governance domain changes to **Successful**.

**To publish a glossary term**

1. On the governance domain details page, in the glossary terms card, select **View all**.

1. Select the glossary term that you created before.

1. On the glossary term detail page, select **Publish**.

**To publish a data product**

1. Turn on the toggle in **Sync Data Products DataSources**.

1. In **Sync Data Products Term Pattern**, enter the identification of the glossary term that is associated with the governance domain that you want to sync. 

1. If you want to automatically add the asset that has been already synced to CluedIn to the list of data assets of a specific data product, turn on the toggle in **Append Asset to Data Product**.

    ![The Purview settings in CluedIn: Sync Data Products DataSources enabled, a glossary term ID in Sync Data Products Term Pattern, and Append Asset to Data Product enabled](https://documentation.cluedin.net/assets/images/microsoft-integration/purview/sync-data-products.png)

1. Select **Save**.

    Once you save the changes, synchronization begins.

## Feature overview

Once you enable synchronization of data products, you will receive a notification when the data product is synced.

![CluedIn notifications: Data Product Detected for Customer Journey, and Data source created for the Employee and Customer data sources](https://documentation.cluedin.net/assets/images/microsoft-integration/purview/sync-data-products-notification.png)

Additionally, you will receive notifications about the execution of ADF automation pipelines, which create ingestion endpoints in CluedIn and ingest the data from data assets.

![CluedIn notifications: ADF Pipelines Created for EmployeePipeline and CustomerPipeline, and Ingestion Endpoints created for Azure Data Factory](https://documentation.cluedin.net/assets/images/microsoft-integration/purview/sync-data-products-adf-notification.png)

**How to check the ingested data in CluedIn?**

As a result of pipeline run, a new data source group is created in CluedIn. The data source group corresponds to Purview data product, and the data sources within the group correspond to data assets within the data product.

![The CluedIn Data Sources page with the Customer Journey group containing the Customer and Employee endpoint data sources](https://documentation.cluedin.net/assets/images/microsoft-integration/purview/sync-data-products-result.png)

After you create the mapping and process the data set, it will be synced to Purview.

![A CluedIn notification: Data set synced to Purview, for the Customer data set](https://documentation.cluedin.net/assets/images/microsoft-integration/purview/sync-data-products-notification-sync-to-purview.png)

As a result, you can view a visual representation of an asset within the CluedIn processing pipeline.

Since we enabled **Append Asset to Data Product**, a new asset is created in the data product to represent the entity type that was created in CluedIn.
