       * In the **Name** field, enter a unique name for the catalog.

    {% note info %}
    
    When you create a metadata catalog, the **metadata AI markup** is on by default.
    
    With this option enabled, the AI assistant suggests descriptions, [domains](../../concepts/data-catalog.md#domains-and-subdomains), [classifications and tags](../../concepts/data-catalog.md#classifications-and-tags), [glossaries and terms](../../concepts/data-catalog.md#glossaries-and-terms), and marks up your metadata using them. You can confirm, edit, or reject any suggestion your AI assistant makes by hovering over the **AI** icon next to the suggestion and selecting the action.
    
    After the catalog is created, you can manage the AI markup on the **Overview** page or when [updating](update-catalog.md) the catalog.
