Resource properties
Pentaho Data Catalog modifies discovered resource properties to add user-defined metadata to the resource. This metadata holds business value or communicates the data quality of the resource.
Properties
Pentaho Data Catalog discovers the resource metadata properties during the data profiling process. Data Catalog uses standard properties as the default, giving you general information about the resource based on metadata standards.
After making any changes in the properties, make sure you save and rerun the data profiling process.
Custom properties
User-defined metadata contributes to business value. While you can only define custom properties if you have an Admin role, you can edit or view these properties with other user roles based on policies set by the administrator.
You can access Custom properties for a resource by clicking Data Canvas in the left navigation menu to open the Data Canvas view. Select the resource then click the Properties tab.
Custom properties that are visible but are not available for editing to a role appear grayed out. Typically, the text that appears below the property field describes how the property is to be used or the values it can take. Contact your Administrator for more details.
