hi team, I have a question for lookml ingest. It seems it requests to specify base_folder which is the local lookml git repo position. Why we need this as required, since we can specify github_info.repo

Hi @clean-tomato-22549 Currently

github_info.repo

is used only to generate url for looker view . LookML source browses lookml repo in local git repo specified by

base_folder

For second question - Yes, local folder needs to be refreshed to update the info on datahub. You can also set up a cron job that updates local git repo periodically.

got it. thx

Hi @clean-tomato-22549 For explores, label is ingested as customProperties and is displayed under Properties section as shown here Starting datahub v0.8.44, field label is also ingested as schema field label. I don't believe group_label is ingested yet, however it is definitely possible to add it in custom properties.

I am v0.8.44. How can I see the field label? I can only see the explore label on Properties.

Hey @clean-tomato-22549 field label is not shown on UI yet however it is indexed and is actively used when searching for looker views. Some work needs to be done to display it on UI. FYI recent discussion on this work - https://datahubspace.slack.com/archives/C02R2NBJXD1/p1662141410018339?thread_ts=1661789567.768729&cid=C02R2NBJXD1

Hi there, any update on this point? I have the same problem. I would like to see the field labels from looker in datahub but I cannot find them. Thanks

Hey Adriana, I don't believe there has been any work done on this. Could you please ask on this thread once ? It would be great and someone can definitely help if you'd like to work on this feature.

done 🙂
