Tagging resources
Tags are descriptive keywords or labels that you can apply to business glossary, metadata resources, datasets, and projects. These labels help efficiently organize, categorize, and identify specific data characteristics. By enabling users to filter and locate relevant resources, tags facilitate quick search and discovery of data assets.
Adding and removing tags
Tags created for datasets or projects become available for reuse and appear in auto-complete suggestions when tagging other datasets, projects, business glossary, and metadata objects. However, tags created on business glossary and metadata resources do not appear in auto-complete suggestions.
To add a tag to a resource:
On the Resource overview page, in the About section, click the Edit button to open the Edit resource window.
In the Edit resource window, in the Tags field, provide the tag name and press Enter to create a tag.
A tag must start and end with an alphanumeric character and cannot exceed 25 characters. Special characters are not allowed in tag names.
To remove a tag, click the Delete button next to the tag you wish to remove.
