Column tags in dbt docs static website

Archive

Hello,

Do column tags in schema.yml file show up on the DBT documentation static website (http://localhost:8080)?
If yes, where do I see it? I can see model tags but don’t see column level tags.
Please help.

models:
    - name: dim_branch
      description: "branch location table. This table is at the location grain."
      columns:
          - name: phone_number
            description: "Phone number associated with each planner location. PII data"
            tags: ["pii"]

Thank you.

Have you tried meta instead.

I do something like this

meta:
classification: pii

This shows on docs

Thank you @gomezn . That worked.
Do you happen to have a link or something for all meta types for DBT?

Meta can be anything you want, that is just a convention I use.

This works to populate the field in dbt docs but it’s not searchable. Are there any plans to either make meta searchable in dbt docs or build out column tags?
