Updating description for Snowflake resources

Important

Users with Edit access to the resources will be able to do this task.

To update the description of Snowflake resources:

  1. Browse to a Snowflake resources such as Snowflake column harvested from your Snowflake instance by the collector.

  2. On the Overview tab, in the About section, click the Edit button.

  3. Update the description of the resource. Once you are done, click the Update button.

  4. Click the Publish Metadata to Snowflake button to sync the changes with your Snowflake instance. If the system encounters any errors while writing the changes to Snowflake, you will receive notification emails informing you about the issue.

  5. Note that if any changes are made to descriptions in Snowflake they will be synced back to data.world only when the collector re-runs. Till that happens the descriptions in both systems will not be in sync. For this reason, we highly recommend that once you start updating descriptions in data.world, data.world becomes the source of truth for descriptions and this action is not performed in both systems.
