  1. Navigate to the Amazon DataZone data portal using the data portal URL and log in using your SSO or AWS credentials. If you’re an Amazon DataZone administrator, you can obtain the data portal URL by accessing the Amazon DataZone console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/datazone in the AWS account where the Amazon DataZone domain was created.

  2. Choose Domains, navigate to the Domain units tab and choose the domain unit that you want to work with.

  3. Choose the Rules tab and then choose Add.

  4. On the Create required metadata form rule page, do the following and then choose Add rule:

    • Specify a name for your rule.

    • Under Action, choose Data asset and product publishing.

    • Under Required forms, choose Add metadata form, choose a metadata form within the domain / domain unit that you want to add to this rule, and then choose Add. You can add up to 5 metadata forms per rule.

    • Under Scope, specify with which data entities you want to associate these forms. You can choose data products and/or data assets.

    • Under Data asset types, specify whether the rule applies across all asset types or limit it to selected asset types.

    • Under Projects, specify whether the required forms will be associated with data products and/or assets published by all projects or only selected projects in this domain unit. Also, check Cascade rule to child domain units if you want child domain units to inherit this requirement.
