Type

Each Asset will have a Type to represent the kind of metadata it represents. It is currently pre-defined by Compass, so no arbitrary types will be supported.

Compass currently supports the following types:

1. table
2. job
3. dashboard
4. topic
5. feature_table
6. model (under development)
7. application (under development)

Type will be extremely useful for categorizing your assets and it will be really helpful during discovery. Check this section on querying assets on how to leverage type for your discovery.
