You can always generate the data dictionaries with AI, by clicking the "Generate with AI" button.

How to write a good data dictionary

You should write the data dictionary so that it would help another person who isn't super familiar with your company to answer questions about your data.

You can add the following information

• Table Description This is a free-text field, where you can describe what kind of data is in the table, and how to use it. You can also leave information such as how to join the data with other tables.

• Column Descriptions Describe what kind of information is present in the columns

• Column format If needed, you can describe how the column is formatted. e.g. "string, 'YYYY-MM-DD'"

Once you're done, press the "save" button!
