Viewing data lineage graphically

The relationships outlined by a metadata item's data lineage can be viewed in a graphical format via its item page.

How to view data lineage graphically

  1. Navigate to the desired metadata item page, then select its 'Graphs' tab.

  1. Select the 'Data Lineage' tab. The item's data lineage will be displayed.

  1. If you wish to expand a distribution's details, select the arrow beside its title. Regardless of whether any distributions have been expanded, the graph will show:

    • Dataset-to-dataset lineage in blue

    • Distribution-to-distribution lineage in green

    • Data element paths in grey.

Note: The distributions above are attached to their respective data sets via the 'Data Sets and Distributions' section of the data sets' editors. There is no lineage-based relationship between distributions and data sets, only logical grouping.
