AN UPDATED BLOG POST HAS BEEN PUBLISHED HERE:
Microsoft Purview has gotten a serious makeover. It is not only a Data Catalog anymore, it is a data governance tool that includes data security, data catalogging, metadata management, data quality, data estate health monitoring and more.
I have created a mini-series on how to get started with building your data governance domains, and data products by scanning your Fabric data in Purview on my YouTube channel. This blog post summarizes the mini-series with some added descriptions.
Stay updated on new videos by subscribing to my YouTube Channel:
There are still features in Purview that are in preview, and there is a lot of development ongoing- existing! But that also means that some buttons and names have changed when you read this tutorial.

1. Upgrade to New Microsoft Purview
Overview: This video shows how to upgrade to the latest Microsoft Purview solution and access its new features.
2. How to Register Your Fabric Data in Purview
Overview: Learn how to register your Fabric data in Microsoft Purview by creating collections, connections, and scans.
I like to divide the data catalog part of Purview into two:
- Physical data estate with your Data Map and Data Assets
- Your logical data estate with Governance Domains and Data Products
In this video I look at how you can set up your Data Map and scan your physical data assets in Fabric.
Topics Covered:
- Creating a new collection.
- Setting up a connection to data sources.
- Running scans to discover and register data assets.
Also check out the “Scope your scan” video below. This feature was released after I created the video. Now you don’t have to scan your entire Fabric Ecosystem, but can choose to scan based on workspaces.
Scope your Fabric scan in Microsoft Purview
Learn how to scope your data scans by workspaces to make your Purview scans more targeted and efficient.
3. How to Create a Business Domain/Governance Domain in Microsoft Purview
Overview: This video explains how to set up a governance domain for better data organization and governance. You can then group your data products into business domains later.
Topics Covered:
- Step-by-step guide to creating a business domain.
In this video I call it a “Business Domain”, but Purview has later renamed it to Governance Domain, which I think is more fitting. You can then decide yourself if you want to separate your domains into Business Domains, Governance Domains, Data Domains, Technical Domains, etc. This will depend on your organizational setup.
4. How to Create a Data Product in Microsoft Purview
Overview: Discover how to create data products within Microsoft Purview to manage and catalog data more effectively.
Topics Covered:
- Defining a Data Product and linking it to a Business Domain.
- Connecting your physical Data Assets to your Data Product
- Setting up terms of use for your Data Product and Data Assets
- Setting up Request Access Policies for your Data Product
The Data Assets that we link to the Data Product are the physical data assets that we scanned in the previous video.
5. Set up Data Quality on Your Fabric Data Products in Purview
Overview: This video covers how to monitor data quality on your Fabric data products within Microsoft Purview.
Topics Covered:
- Setting up data quality connection for your data governance domain.
- Setting up data quality rules and profiling for your data assets.
- Running the data quality and profiling rules, and monitoring the outcome.
- Looking into actions of your resulting Data Quality and Profiling runs, assigning tasks and actions to Data Stewards or other roles in your organization to improve the Data Quality.
Obs! For Purview to be able to scan the data in your workspace, the Purview service principal needs to be assigned Contributor access to be able to run the data scan.
