Overview

Attributes are metadata properties extracted by scanners from various source systems, with system attributes predefined for default resource types. Users can create and configure custom attributes to meet specific business needs and assign them to resources. These custom attributes can be tailored to the search filters required in Enterprise Data Catalog, facilitating efficient metadata searches. 

For example, creating a custom attribute like "Data Center Location" allows users to quickly filter resources by location in the catalog. When creating custom attributes, users must specify a name and data type, choosing from core types such as Decimal, Integer, Date, and Boolean, or extended types like User.
