Do processing system fields appear in the Field Catalog?

Processing system fields do not appear in the Field Catalog because the Field Catalog is designed to list fields that are relevant to the data being processed and curated for analysis. It focuses on user-defined fields and those that are utilized in the context of specific workflows, which are pertinent to the users interacting with the data.

Processing system fields are typically regarded as backend elements that function in the background of data processing. These fields are used for internal purposes, such as tracking processing steps, managing system workflows, and maintaining integrity throughout the data flow. By not including these fields in the Field Catalog, the system ensures that users have a cleaner and more relevant view of the fields they will interact with directly.

In this context, the exclusion of processing system fields serves to avoid confusion among users who may not need to work with such technical details, allowing for a more streamlined and user-friendly experience. This helps maintain clarity and focus on fields that are actionable and meaningful for data analysis and reporting.
