Keep source metadata current with regular reviews
Turn a source review into a clear update pass for the descriptions and tags your document workflows rely on.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Update Source
Updates a data source's name, description, tags, or parsing settings.
Why this helps
Metadata updates often remain on a follow-up list because they require returning to the modeling workspace.
- Apply specified metadata changes during a recurring review.
- Keep descriptions and tags useful for future analysis.
- Reduce context switching for source maintenance.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and BigML once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis which BigML sources to update and provide exact metadata changes for each source.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real source and verify the updated metadata.
Questions about this workflow
Can this invent or infer metadata?
Provide the intended changes explicitly. Notis should not invent source descriptions or parsing settings.
Which source properties can be updated?
The supplied action supports name, description, tags, and parsing configuration.
Can it update sources without identifiers?
The target source must be identifiable. Supply its identifier or reliable identifying context.
