Ingest Tags from dbt

Collate reads table-level and column-level tags from your dbt manifest.json file and applies them to the matching assets in Collate.

Tip: If a tag doesn’t already exist in Collate, Collate creates it automatically under the DBTTags category.

Where Collate Reads Tags From

Step 1: Table-Level Tags

Collate reads table-level tags from manifest.json under node_name → tags. Here’s an example of what that looks like:

{
  "model.jaffle_shop.customers": {
    "raw_sql": "sample_raw_sql",
    "compiled": true,
    "resource_type": "model",
    "depends_on": {},
    "database": "dev",
    "schema": "dbt_jaffle",
    "tags": [
      "model_tag_one",
      "model_tag_two"
    ]
  }
}

Step 2: Column-Level Tags

Collate reads column-level tags from manifest.json under node_name → columns → column_name → tags. Here’s an example:

"model.jaffle_shop.customers": {
  "database": "dev",
  "schema": "dbt_jaffle",
  "columns": {
    "first_order": {
      "name": "first_order",
      "description": "Date (UTC) of a customer's first order",
      "tags": [
        "tags_column_one"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Verify

After ingestion completes, you can view the tags directly on the table and column pages in Collate.
