## Definition
The `meta` field can be used to set metadata for a resource. This metadata is compiled into the `manifest.json` file generated by dbt, and is viewable in the auto-generated documentation.

Depending on the resource you're configuring, `meta` may be available within the `config` property, or as a top-level key. (For backwards compatibility, `meta` is always supported as a top-level key, though without the capabilities of config inheritance.)
