Add tags and owners to catalog assets

Tags and owners help your team discover, filter, and govern catalog assets. This guide explains how to add them. For concepts, see Catalog overview.

Where to Add Tags and Owners

• When adding an asset: In the connector setup flow, under General information, you can assign tags and owners before connecting the asset.
• On an existing asset: Open the asset in the catalog, in the Overview tab or right sidebar, find Tags and Owners sections and click the + button to add or modify tags and owners.

Add Tags

1. Open the asset details page.
2. In the Tags section, click +.
3. Select one or more tags from the list. Tags may be created in Settings → Tags page or via API; only existing tags appear.
4. Once assigned, the tags appear on the asset and can be used to filter and search across the catalog.

Use tags for classification (e.g. PII, department, compliance) and to group related assets. In list views and search, filter by tag to narrow results.

Add Owners

1. Open the asset details page.
2. In the Owners section, click +.
3. Select one or more users as owners.
4. Once assigned, Owners are visible on the asset and help others know who is responsible for the data.

Owners are often used together with tags and certificates for governance. See Certificates and announcements for certifying assets.

Search and Filter by Tags

In the catalog and in global search (command + K), you can filter by tag to find all assets with a given tag. Combine with search by name or path to quickly locate relevant tables or schemas.

For certificate and announcement options on assets, see Certificates and announcements.
