Tag management and search workflow

You can create a tag, assign the tag to an asset, and search for an asset using various filters.

You can create a tag and search for any asset using the tag. You can also apply a tag to a column. Later, you can search assets based on the Entity Tag and Column Tag filters.

Go to Atlas Tags and click Add Tag
Enter the name, description for the tag.
Inserting a classification to inherit attributes and adding new attributes are optional.
Click Save.
The new tag is created.
Next, you must assign the newly created tag to one of the existing assets.
For example, we can assign the tag to the Hive table.
Go to Search and search for an asset with columns, such as a Hive table, then click on the asset to view the Asset Details page.
Click +Add Classification, to display the Classifications view.
Select the tag that you newly created by typing in its name and assign the tag to the asset.
Click Save.

Next, you can add the tag to a column in the selected asset.
Return to the previously selected asset: Go to Search and search for an asset with columns, such as a Hive table, then click on the asset to view the Asset Details page.
Select the Schema tab and click Edit, then select Classifications.
Click + and select the tag by entering its name.
note
The tag list contains System Tags and Managed Tags. Managed Tags are selected by default.
- System Tags are applied by the tag rules in the System Deployed section. For example, IBAN, passport number detection rules.
- Managed Tags are applied by the tag rules in the Custom Deployed section. These are user created tag rules. However, custom tag rules can also apply system tags.
Select a tag with the + icon and click Save.

Once tags are added to the table and column, you can search for the corresponding assets using the tag name.

Go to Search and enter the tag name in the Entity Tag or the Column tag filter.
The asset for which the tag was added is displayed as the search result.
