Setting Preferences

This page describes how to set preferences as default values for pipelines. You will learn how to set preference values at different levels in the hierarchy.

There are three levels of preferences:

1. System

2. Namespace (multiple namespaces only applicable in Enterprise edition)

3. Pipeline

Preferences have precedence, and it will resolve the lower level first before going up. For instance, if you set a preference with the key file.path on Namespace level with the value “A”, and set a preference with the same key file.path on the System level with the value “B”, the pipeline will run using the preference from the Namespace level (value “A”). The precedence level is Pipeline > Namespace > System.
