Data Catalog

Use the Data Catalog functions to download the data model to a JSON file, where you can add descriptions to each column. You can then upload the file back into the model. This provides a way to populate the Description field for each column, without doing so inside Pyramid. The descriptions will later be visible as tooltips in Discover.

Download Data Catalog

Open the Data Catalog drop-down and click Download.

The model will be downloaded as a JSON file. Each table and column will feature a "type", "uniqueName", "displayName", and "description" field. In the description field, you can add descriptions to each table and column as needed. Be sure to save any changes.

Upload Data Catalog

To upload the data catalog back into Pyramid, open the Data Catalog drop-down and click Upload. Find and select the updated JSON file. Once it's been uploaded, you'll see the new table and column descriptions in Pyramid.
