# Overview of Data Assets
2023-10-07 02:55:44 +05:30
OpenMetadata displays a single-pane view for each of the data assets. In the detailed view of a data asset, the **Source, Owner (Team/User), Tier, Type, Usage, Description** are displayed on the top panel. Further, there are separate tabs each for Schema, Activity Feeds & Tasks, Sample Data, Queries, Profiler & Data Quality, Lineage, Custom Properties, Config, Details, Features, Children, and Executions based on the type of data asset selected.
