Dataiku Govern concepts¶
Items in Dataiku Govern¶
Item is the generic way to describe the objects manipulated in Dataiku Govern. Items can be:
Dataiku items: there are synced from Dataiku nodes and the hierarchical relationship between objects are represented in the way Dataiku Govern employs inheritance throughout its architecture. Governable items are projects, saved models, saved model versions, and bundles.
Govern items: these can be pure govern object such as Business initiatives or the representation of the layer of governance added on Dataiku items.

Note
With Advanced Govern you can build other types of items using the Blueprint Designer features.
Dataiku Govern pages¶
Dataiku Govern automatically organizes all your items across the following key pages:
Home page is your main landing page and centralized hub. From here, you can get a quick overview of your review tasks and access essential Dataiku resources like the Reference Documentation, Knowledge Base, and the Academy.
Governable items acts as your inbox for all synced Dataiku items that haven’t been governed yet. It provides a clear view of what needs your attention.
Model registry offers a hierarchical, project-based view of your models. Easily find and manage models and all their different versions in one place.
GenAI registry gives you a hierarchical, project-based view of all your generative AI assets. This includes fine-tuned LLMs, Agents, and Augmented LLMs, each with their respective versions.
Bundle registry offers a hierarchical, project-based view of your bundles. Easily find and manage bundles in one place.
Business initiatives provides a comprehensive list of your organization’s business initiatives.
Governed projects showcases all projects that have been officially brought under governance.
Filtering capabilities¶
Each page in Dataiku Govern with a table can be filtered with the page header. In addition to the pre-defined filters that you can use, there is an option 
to refine your results further.
Using the filter button, you can define logical operations and conditions to meet your requirements. The conditions you create can filter field values, workflow steps, sign-off statuses, and more.

Governance actions¶
Two main actions can be applied to synced items:
Hide, meaning no further action is necessary. This will hide the item in Dataiku Govern, but it will not affect the item visibility in other nodes.
Govern, which means additional metadatas and/or actions are expected. Once this optional layer has been applied to projects, models, model versions or bundles, they become Govern projects, Govern models, Govern model versions and Govern bundles.
This layer can embed specific definitions, metrics, attachments, workflows, sign-offs, and more.
These actions are mainly applied in the Governable items page.
The governance layer can be added manually or automatically. You can decide to:
Automatically govern items as soon as they are synced from the instance Governance settings page.
Manually define the governance rules from the Governance modal.

Governance modal settings¶
Governance settings can be applied at different levels:
the item on which the Govern button has been selected.
related items where the governance is mandatory or suggested.
The governance rules can be applied on the existing and the upcoming items.
By default, the rules for upcoming items are inherited from the instance governance settings and are identified by an “Instance rules” tag. It is possible to override these rules for a specific item and it will be marked with a tag depending on the item impacted:
“Custom rules” for projects
“Project rules” for bundles and saved models
“Model rules” for saved model versions

All Actions history centralized in the Timelines¶
From the Applications menu, the Timeline page centralizes events such as updates, deletions, and creations linked to items. You will be able to filter by:
Date and Time, Users, Items type, and Items.
Actions on Items, Templates, Sign-off, and others.
