[~verdan] It's not the same. The description you are referring to is shown on 
inside the DAG at "Graph View" tab.

I'm talking about a description that will shown on the main UI page. Assume you 
have 200+ Dags. It's very hard to keep track with all of them. By having a 
description column in the main UI you can use it to categories them etc without 
effecting the DAG id... changing dag id is very problematic.  

 

This can be a optional column that will be shown only if user set it to be 
visible.

> Currently in the UI we see the dag_id of the DAG.
> When many users use the UI it's not always clear what the DAG does.
> It will be extremely helpful if in the UI we can see a short description of 
> the DAG.
>  Example:
> Dag               Description                          Schedule 
>  Report            this is the description          0 4 ***
