Data Labels

Data Labels allow you to tag assets with important information, such as certification status, sensitivity, or data quality, so others can easily identify and use them appropriately.

Add Data Labels to Asset

Users must have the appropriate capability to add Data Labels to assets. Refer to Configure Certification Roles and Capabilities.

To add Data Labels to an asset...

  1. Navigate to Library.

  2. Locate the asset.

  3. Select the 3-dot menu next to the asset or open the asset details page.

  4. Select Data Labels.

  5. Select a certification category.

  6. Select a certification value.

  7. Select Save.

Alteryx One stores certification metadata on the selected asset version. Data Labels' badge appears in:

Use Assets Certified with Data Labels

You can identify and use certified assets in the Library. Certified assets display a visible Data Label badge in the Library list view and on the asset details page, so you can quickly confirm their trusted status. Use filters to narrow results by Data Label value and focus on assets that meet your governance requirements.

Filter Assets by Data Labels

To filter assets by Data Labels...

  1. Navigate to Library.

  2. Select the filter icon to open the filters panel.

  3. Select Data Label.

  4. Expand a category (for example, Certification, Sensitivity, Data Quality, or Compliance).

  5. Select one or more label values.

  6. The Library updates to display only assets that match your selected filters.

Note

Disabled labels are not available in the Filters panel.

View Data Labels

Applied Data Labels appear as badges next to asset names.

  1. In the Library list view, hover over a Data Label to view complete details.

  2. Disabled Data Labels (if already applied to an asset) remain visible but cannot be newly applied.

  3. In the Library list view, select the three-dot menu next to the asset.

  4. Select View Asset Details.

  5. Review the Data Labels badges at the top of the details page.

  6. Select Version History from the three-dot menu of the asset to view certification per version.

You can run the asset or use it in downstream processes, such as Plans or Apps, based on workspace permissions.

Re-Certification of New Asset Version

Data Labels apply only to a specific asset version.

When a user updates an asset and creates a new version:

  • The new version does not inherit the Data Labels.

  • The previous version retains its Data Labels history.

Re-Certify New Asset Version

To re-certify a new version of an asset...

  1. Open the new asset version in the Library.

  2. Select Data Labels.

  3. Select a category and value.

  4. Select Save.

Alteryx One records audit events for:

  • Data Labels invalidated due to a new version.

  • Data Labels re-applied.

Optional notifications can alert the asset owner and the last certifier when a new version requires certification.
