  • Schema level #

    The second level of the catalog explorer is the schema level, which contains a number of panes of information about the currently selected schema.

    Schema metadata #

    View and edit metadata associated with your schema, such as a description, associated tags, relevant web links, a list of user contacts, and the schema’s owning role.

    Click the pencil icon to edit schema metadata. Schema metadata can only be edited by the schema’s owner. Metadata is otherwise read-only. If the schema does not have an assigned owner, ownership is inherited from the parent catalog. Owner inheritance is denoted by a right-facing enter key icon preceding the owner icon.

    Click Show details to see an expanded view of the schema’s metadata:

    • Contacts displays users who can provide information and support for the schema. You can add any user with a role that owns the schema directly, or indirectly.
    • Owner displays the owner of the schema.
