Link Enrichment on Datastore Creation
When you create a new source datastore, you can optionally link an enrichment datastore during the same flow, without needing to configure it separately afterward. This is the recommended approach, as it ensures scan results and anomalies are persisted from the very first operation.
The Add Datastore page handles this as its second step, Enrichment Datastore (optional): after your source datastore connection is verified, click Next instead of Finish to reach it.
Permission Required
You need the Member user role and Editor team permission on the datastore to link an enrichment datastore. See the Permissions page for details.
Link Later
If you prefer to skip the enrichment step during creation, you can link an enrichment datastore at any time afterward. See the Link Enrichment Datastore documentation.
Form Fields
The form fields vary by connector. To learn how to fill in each field, see the connector's own page, listed under Supported Enrichment Datastores. The User Guide panel on the right side of the page also shows the setup guide for whichever connector you select.
Field reference
The fields you fill in depend on the option you pick. Existing Enrichment has no fields: selecting an enrichment datastore shows a read-only Details block with its Teams, Host, Database, and Schema (the URI and Root Path for file-based connectors). The Existing Connection and New Connection options create a new enrichment datastore with the sections below.
Connection Properties
| FIELD | REQUIRED | TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connection Name | Text | A name that identifies the connection, so other datastores can reuse it later. New Connection only; when reusing an existing connection, the Connection Properties come already filled in and read-only. | |
| Secrets Management | Option | Retrieves credentials from a secrets manager instead of typing them in. Once the secrets manager is configured, use ${key} in any connection property to reference a key from the stored secret. New Connection only. |
Enrichment Extraction
| FIELD | REQUIRED | TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enrichment Extraction | Text / Option | Where Qualytics writes the enrichment tables inside the connected system (for example, a database and schema, or a folder path). The exact fields depend on the connector; see its page for details. |
Enrichment Properties
| FIELD | REQUIRED | TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | The name of the new enrichment datastore. | |
| Teams | Option | One or more teams to associate with the enrichment datastore. |
Advanced Options
| FIELD | REQUIRED | TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| Remediation Strategy | Choice | Controls whether and how anomalous source tables are replicated to the enrichment datastore: None does not replicate (default), Append appends anomalous records after each scan, and Overwrite keeps only the latest anomalous records. |
On every option, the Prefix is generated automatically from the source datastore's name: Qualytics adds it to the name of every table or file it writes to the enrichment datastore, and an information banner at the bottom of the step previews the resulting names using source_records as an example table.
Steps
There are three ways to link an enrichment datastore when adding a datastore: Existing Enrichment, Existing Connection, and New Connection. The tabs below walk through each option; pick the one you want to follow. Each field is described in the Field reference above.
Side Effects
Once linked, all future Scan operations will write results to the enrichment datastore. For details on how enrichment works, storage impact, and remediation strategies, see the Enrichment Introduction page.
Link an enrichment datastore that already exists. This option appears only when at least one is available.
Step 1: Click Next at the bottom of the Add Datastore page once your source datastore connection test has passed. The Enrichment Datastore step opens.
Step 2: Select Existing Enrichment next to the Search field.
Step 3: Select the enrichment datastore you want to link from the grid. Each card shows the datastore name and its connector; use the search field to filter by name. A Details block appears with the selected datastore's Teams, Host, Database, and Schema (the URI and Root Path for file-based connectors).
Step 4: Review the automatic Prefix preview at the bottom of the page and, if needed, change the Remediation Strategy under Advanced Options.
Step 5: Click Finish. An existing enrichment datastore needs no connection test. A success dialog confirms that your datastore has been created and linked to the enrichment datastore. Click Go to your datastore to open its page.
Create a new enrichment datastore reusing the credentials of a connection you already saved. This option is offered when at least one saved connection supports enrichment.
Step 1: Click Next at the bottom of the Add Datastore page once your source datastore connection test has passed. The Enrichment Datastore step opens.
Step 2: Select Existing Connection next to the Search field.
Step 3: Select the connection you want to reuse from the grid. Each card shows the connection name and its connector; use the search field to filter by name. The Connection Properties come already filled in and read-only.
Start a new connection from this one
To use the selected connection as a starting point for a brand-new connection instead, click the Duplicate as a new connection button on the selected connection. The step switches to New Connection mode with the connection's settings already filled in for you to adjust.
Step 4: Fill in the Enrichment Extraction fields and the Enrichment Properties (Name and Teams). Then review the automatic Prefix preview at the bottom of the page and, if needed, the Remediation Strategy under Advanced Options.
Step 5: Click Test connection. A success message confirms that the connection has been verified.
Info
The Finish button stays disabled until the required fields are filled in and the connection test passes on the current values.
Step 6: Click Finish. A success dialog confirms that your source and enrichment datastores have been created and linked. Click Go to your datastore to open the source datastore's page.
Create a new enrichment datastore from scratch, setting up a new connection with its own credentials.
Step 1: Click Next at the bottom of the Add Datastore page once your source datastore connection test has passed. The Enrichment Datastore step opens.
Step 2: Select New Connection next to the Search field.
Step 3: Select a connector from the grid. Only connectors that can host an enrichment datastore are listed; use the search field to filter by name.
Same connector as the source
If the connector of your source datastore supports enrichment, it comes already selected, with the connection fields already filled in from the source connection. Click the selected card to change it.
Step 4: Fill in the Connection Properties: a Connection Name that other datastores can reuse later, the connector's connection fields, and optionally Secrets Management to retrieve credentials from a secrets manager.
Step 5: Fill in the Enrichment Extraction fields and the Enrichment Properties (Name and Teams). Then review the automatic Prefix preview at the bottom of the page and, if needed, the Remediation Strategy under Advanced Options.
Step 6: Click Test connection. A success message confirms that the connection has been verified.
Info
The Finish button stays disabled until the required fields are filled in and the connection test passes on the current values.
Step 7: Click Finish. A success dialog confirms that your source and enrichment datastores have been created and linked. Click Go to your datastore to open the source datastore's page.
Manage Enrichment
To modify enrichment settings or unlink the enrichment datastore after creation, see the Link Enrichment Datastore or Unlink Enrichment Datastore documentation.
