# Atlan

Elementary aims to meet business users where they live, so we believe it's important to allow anyone who uses data to
know whether the data is healthy quickly, easily and without any technical knowledge required. This is why we integrated with Atlan.

The integration works by pushing key insights to Atlan assets as custom metadata.
This metadata includes data health scores and open incidents, providing visibility into the quality and status of your
data.

### Elementary Account Token (required for connecting through the Atlan app)

You can generate tokens directly from the Elementary UI: go to [Account → Account Tokens](https://app.elementary-data.com/settings/account-tokens).

Quick steps:

1. Open the **Account → Account Tokens** page and click **Generate token**.
2. (Optional) Add a name/description.
3. Copy the token and store it securely — it is shown once. Manage (revoke/rotate) anytime from the same page.
