## Organize assets

URL: https://docs.atlan.com/product/capabilities/governance/domains/how-tos/organize-assets

> Organize assets into domains and subdomains to establish logical structures aligned with business needs. Setup requires edit access to asset metadata for non-guest users.

:::warning Who can do this?
 Any [non-guest user with edit access to an asset's metadata](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/access-control/what-are-purposes/llms.txt) can add assets to domains. This only includes admin and member users. [Domain policies](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/data-products/create-domain-policies/llms.txt) currently don't have any impact outside the [products module](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/data-products/what-are-data-products/llms.txt).

:::

Map and organize your assets into [domains and subdomains](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/domains/manage-domains/llms.txt) to establish logical structures aligned with your business needs. Domains enable governance practices and guarantee a curated discovery experience for your organization's data assets.

To add assets to a domain, note the following:

- You can link assets to domains irrespective of whether or not you use [data products](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/data-products/what-are-data-products/llms.txt).
- You can only add assets to any one specific domain or subdomain. Assets may be used across multiple domains, but can only belong to one domain or subdomain.
- You can filter assets by a single domain, multiple domains, or no domains.
- Atlan currently doesn't support adding glossaries, categories, and terms directly to domains. To use glossary hierarchy with your domains, you can [create data products](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/data-products/create-data-products/llms.txt) within those domains and then:
 - Add [terms](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/glossary/link-terms-to-assets/llms.txt) to each data product from the product profile.
 - Use the **Business Graph, terms, & categories** filter when you [add assets to a data product using rules](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/data-products/create-data-products/llms.txt) to work with your glossary and category hierarchy.
- Atlan currently doesn't support [raising a request](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/catalog/requests/what-are-requests/llms.txt) to add assets to domains.
- Admin users can bulk add assets to domains using [playbooks](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/playbooks/set-up-playbooks/llms.txt).

## Add an asset to a domain

:::info **Did you know?** 
You can also [set up playbooks](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/playbooks/set-up-playbooks/llms.txt) to bulk add assets to your domains and subdomains. You need to be an admin user in Atlan to create playbooks.

:::

To add an asset to a domain, complete the following steps.

To add an asset to a domain:

1. From the left menu of any screen in Atlan, click on **all assets**.

 If you are using the **Old UI (Classic)**, from the left menu of any screen in Atlan, click **Assets**.
2. On the _Assets_ page, click an asset to open the asset sidebar.
3. In the _Overview_ sidebar, under _Domains_, click **Add to domain**.
4. In the popup, check the boxes to select the domain or subdomain to which you want to add the asset. You can only select any one parent domain or nested subdomain.
5. To view details for the linked domain or subdomain, hover over it to open a popover, including the user that added the domain. You can also:
 - Click **View domain** to view the domain profile from the governance center.
 - If the [products module is turned off](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/data-products/what-are-data-products/llms.txt), you need to be an admin user in Atlan to view the domain.
 - If the [products module is turned on](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/data-products/what-are-data-products/llms.txt), [domain policies](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/data-products/create-domain-policies/llms.txt) determine whether you can view the domain.
 - Click the unlink icon to remove the asset from the linked domain.
6. To change to a different domain or remove the domain from the asset, click the pencil icon.
7. To filter assets by domains, in the [_Filters_ menu](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/catalog/discovery/use-the-filters-menu/llms.txt) on the left, click **Domains**:
 - Check the boxes to select one or more domains or subdomains to filter your assets.
 - Click **No domains** to filter assets not mapped to any domain.

:::info **Did you know?** 
To programmatically add assets to a domain or remove them from a linked domain, refer to the [developer documentation](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/platform/python/link-domains/llms.txt).
