Data Lineage from the Data Catalog

From the Data Catalog you can create and view data lineage directly from the chosen element.

For instance if you navigate to an element, in this case the table “StockItemTransactions” you will be able to create lineage in the top right.

A list of data usage documentations will be shown. The list holds information on the usage of that specific table. In this sample you can see that the table is used as input for “Inventory Preproccesed” and “Product Catalog” and as output from “Raw Sales Import“ and “Supplier Details Data”.

You can follow these links to get to the Data Usage documentation that uses this table.

You can also create the lineage diagrams themselves directly from here. You can create either Impact lineage or Reverse Impact Lineage. These diagram will, likewise, show what Input or Output is used for the selected element. Impact Lineage will show what Output is from the table whereas the reverse will show the Input.
