I have a need to create "custom" browse paths for entities (datasets, but also datajobs, and other entities I will create myself). I notice that dataset browse paths "behave well" - ie you can see them on the landing page (or almost), etc etc. datajob browse paths, unfortutately, I can only see once I get on the datajob via the standard path (clicking on Tasks etc). Am I doing something wrong? Also, is there any way to make browse paths "first-class citizens" so they appear at the landing page (or almost?). The reason is that my users may have their own "lingo" about things, and I want to enable them to navigate the datahub world using that "lingo" (so I would create paths like '/Experiments/data/absorptions/nickel...') - and would like to give users an "easy" way to get at the start of the navigation-as-per-their-worldview page
do you mean you would expect the url to be
/datajob/urn:li:dataJob
?
for any custom entities you have you would need to explicitly configure that on the frontend so that the browse path matches with where you would expect that entity to live

Sorry crazy day yesterday so I did not respond. Yes I see the datajob above. What I meant was different: Let's say my users are biologists/pharma people, non-technical, that are researching COVID. For them "Tasks/Pipelines/etc..." does not mean much. They would ideally want to see, at the main page (or easy access from there) something like /COVID/Vaccines/<vaccine name>/simulation/<simulation name> -> (at this point pointing to the datajob + input/output files in lineage - this part is fine). Basically something adapted to their way of thinking (their view of the world. Not datahub's, or mine)
is this possible? I know for datasets I can create a similar Browse Path AND see it at the main page. But for datajobs/tasks, I could not do it
and @echoing-airport-49548, to answer your question... no custom entities required - what is there suffices (for the foreseeable future, for us)
re the url: I do not care, really. Nobody will see that

@late-zoo-31017 let me think about this a bit and get back to you
