Analysis properties

We recommend you define analysis properties in your analyses/ directory, which is illustrated in the analysis-paths configuration. Analysis properties are "special properties" in that you can't configure them in the dbt_project.yml file or using config() blocks. Refer to Configs and properties for more info.

You can name these files whatever_you_want.yml, and nest them arbitrarily deeply in subfolders within the analyses/ or models/ directory.
