You can customize your Alation catalog by creating custom templates for your catalog objects and adding custom metadata fields to those templates. Customizing your catalog allows you to tailor the catalog to your organization’s needs and make it easier for users to find, understand, and use the data in the catalog.

You must have the Catalog Admin or Server Admin role to customize the Alation catalog.
