Getting Started with Tags¶
Tags are labels you create once and apply across your data, such as Finance, PII, or Deprecated. They organize datastores, tables, fields, checks, and anomalies, decide how much each one counts in quality scores and triage, and let Flows and operations act only on what carries them. This page maps the Tags documentation: what each part covers and when to read it.
Understand Tags¶
Start here to learn what tags do and how they behave before you create or reorganize them.
-
Introduction
What a tag is in Qualytics and what it is for, in a few lines. Read it first.
-
How It Works
How tags influence Qualytics: quality scores, check importance, Flows, and operations, how a tag reaches the assets inside a datastore, and what each change does. Read it before tagging a whole datastore or changing a weight.
-
Weight Modifier
The number behind every tag and the exact math it adds to quality scores and check importance. Read it when a score or an anomaly ranking surprises you.
Kinds of Tags¶
Read these to tell the three types of tags apart: open to everyone, owned by one team, or imported from a data catalog.
-
Global Tags
Tags open to the whole workspace, managed by Admins, and how a tag becomes global or stops being global.
-
Team Tags
Tags that only one team can find and apply, and what happens to them when the scope or the team's access changes.
-
External Tags
Tags imported from a connected data catalog, and which of their settings Qualytics can change.
The Tag Page¶
Read this when you need to know where a tag is used, or before you move, merge, or retire it.
-
Tag Page
Each tag's own page: its summary and timeline, the list of every tagged asset, a map of how they connect, and the actions that change many assets at once.
Plan and Govern¶
Read these when you design a tag library for your organization or decide who can manage it.
-
Examples
Real scenarios: focusing a datastore score, routing alerts on personal data, giving a team its own labels, and merging duplicates.
-
Best Practices
Guidelines for a tag library that stays small, consistent, and worth filtering on.
-
Permissions
Who can create, apply, and manage tags, by user role and team permission.
