With this option, the rules can be evaluated for those fields that are selected by configuring conditions. This feature is helpful to select fields that have common attributes.
To select the fields that must be a part of the custom rule by defining conditions:
- Navigate to the Fields by condition tab on the create rule page within the Target assets section.
- Select the suitable values from the dropdown. The dropdown is displayed in the
following format:
<attribute><operator><select value> - Within the attributes, you can select the supported common catalog attributes.
The following attributes are available to be selected in the dropdown:
- Dataset: Provides an option to select the datasets
- Datasource: Select the established Datasources.
- Datasource type: List the types of Datasources added to the application.
- Semantic type: Provides an option to choose fields depending on the selected Semantic type. Whenever the semantic type attribute is selected, only a single value can be selected from the third field.
- In the second field, select a suitable operator. The following operators are
available to be selected:
- Is
- Is not
- Is populated
- Is not populated
- In the third field, select the corresponding values to target the assets for the rule.
- After the conditions are defined, click Preview Assets to view all the fields targeted by the defined condition.
Note: The concept of mapping does not apply when assets are
targeted by conditions. This is because the assets are not designated for specific
fields, making mapping inapplicable. Additionally, when new data sources are
onboarded, any assets that meet the conditions specified in the rule will be
automatically included and evaluated according to that rule.
