Create a Custom Taxonomy in Data 360

Custom taxonomies allow you to define your own categories and subcategories based on your specific data, use cases, or business needs. You can create tags, group them into a hierarchy, and align them with internal policies or specialized regulatory requirements.

Required Editions

Create a tag or classification taxonomy from scratch or copy an existing one. When you clone a standard or custom taxonomy, all tags or classifications, along with their hierarchy and associations, are duplicated.

Available in: All Editions supported by Data 360. See Data 360 edition availability.
