Adding data dictionary to files
The data dictionary contains all the metadata (data about the data) for the files, tables and columns in a dataset.
To add data dictionary to files:
Open the dataset page and click the Launch workspace button.
In the Project directory section, click Data dictionary. The Data dictionary document opens.
Here, you can view all files in the dataset along with their metadata, add descriptions and labels to files. For tabular files, view and edit column names, data formats, and column descriptions.
To edit a file metadata, locate the file and click Edit next to the filename. Modify the file metadata, including description, labels, and settings.
If working with tabular files, you can configure the following additional options:
Advanced settings: Adjust authentication, headers, or request methods if required. The Authentication setting lets you specify a password, token, or OAuth parameters when accessing a source URL that requires authentication. The Headers setting allows you to modify the response from the URL, such as defining a specific file content type. The Post body setting enables switching the request method from GET to POST when necessary.
CSV settings: Click Show to manage how comma-separated values are handled.
In the Column details tab, you can update the table columns metadata. For more details, see Updating table columns page.
Once done, click the Save changes button.
