Custom Attributes

Optimize asset management in Select Star with custom attributes. Learn how to create and update attributes in Settings, and leverage custom attributes via API

Introduction

You can add custom attributes based on asset type in Select Star. A custom attribute is shown in the details section in overview tabs, as a column in the tables, and in the column-level page.

Video Tutorial: Custom Attributes

Custom attributes can be created at either the field or data object level (i.e. column or table level) and are used adding additional metadata that you want to store independently from descriptions.

Custom Attributes can be pushed into Select Star via API, and are a good way to integrate data quality metrics or alerts from other tools. If you'd like help setting this up, reach out to the Select Star Support team.

You can use rich text or markdown in the custom attributes, adding styles, like bold text, and links.
