Viewing Object Metadata

In the Data Catalog, you can view the details of an object schema by performing one of these actions:

  • In tiles view, click the tile of the object to view the details for.
  • In grid view, click the drill-down icon located in the Details column.

This page is read only.

This table shows the areas of the object details page:

Area Description
Header Tabs Tabs used to display different information about the object. The details on each tab are explained in separate sections.
Toolbar Contains the action icons available for the object.
nt_ico_back Back – returns user to the Object Schemas page.
nt_ico_save Save – saves changes that have been made to the object.
Note: Only items on the Configuration tab can be edited at this time.
nt_ico_refresh Refresh – refreshes the current page.
nt_ico_export Export – exports the object metadata
Summary Pane Contains the summary of the object, including the notifications pane for errors and warnings. The summary pane is located on the left side of the canvas. You can collapse this pane.
Main Canvas Shows the relevant information for the object based on the selected header tab.

Notifications pane

The notifications pane shows errors and warnings that have been found when making changes to an object. Summary counts are provided to show the total number of errors and the total number of warnings found. Details are also provided for each error and warning to assist in resolving the issues. All errors must be resolved before a Save action can take place.

For example, an error is reported if a custom header is added with an invalid name.
