Introducing custom metadata badges
The ability to leverage custom metadata is one of the core value propositions of using Atlan. While Atlan has supported custom metadata for tools like Airflow, data quality tools like Great Expectations, and more, the visibility around the metadata was easy to miss.
The custom metadata was available in a separate tab in the Atlan sidebar, meaning users must search to find the appropriate information. We wanted to make it easier for admins and data teams to provide more visibility into the most critical custom metadata information.
With the introduction of customer metadata badges, admins now have the flexibility to highlight the specific customer metadata information they want right within the Asset overview. Users can instantly understand if an Airflow DAG was successfully run for this asset or if a table's data quality has failed. Custom metadata badges will help provide a faster and easier way for users to consume the metadata and get the context they need.
