Metadata Collection

Last updated: 2024-11-01 16:12:15
    WeData provides users with a Definition metadata collection task feature. Administrators must collect metadata from the data source before they can perform visual management. Collection granularity supports libraries, and each database can only create one collection task. The collection task will run and update metadata information on a scheduled basis according to the configured cycle, and also supports manual execution, task editing, and other management operations.
