For more information, see [User Permission Settings](/docs/user-settings). ## Flow of Use First, the datastore must be federated or authenticated against the federated datastore. Click on **Data Catalog** from the left side menu of TROCCO and select the data warehouse of your choice. For subsequent steps, please refer to the [datastore authentication procedure](/docs/datastore-integrations-v1#%E3%83%87%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BF%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88%E3%82%A2%E3%81%AE%E8%AA%8D%E8%A8%BC%E6%89%8B%E9%A0%86). ![image](https://cdn.document360.io/3a3bae1e-f157-487f-8798-01e9d820e760/Images/Documentation/for-first-datacatalog-users-v1-2024-08-29-9-1-0.png) When assets are captured When datastore integration is performed, the asset import process is executed immediately after the integration. Please wait a moment until the asset import process is complete and the [asset list](/docs/catalog-glossary-v1#%E3%82%A2%E3%82%BB%E3%83%83%E3%83%88%E4%B8%80%E8%A6%A7) is updated.
