Description

①Search

Supports searching for expanded nodes on the current page based on field name keywords. You can click the left/right arrows after the search box or use the keyboard arrow keys to quickly switch between selected nodes. The system defaults to positioning at the first matching node.

②Legend

Displays the hierarchy levels of the current asset, including business systems (i.e., data source tables, custom metric systems), data collection layer (i.e., source layer), data transformation layer (i.e., intermediate layer, logical table/modeling metric systems), application data layer (i.e., application layer), DataService Studio, report application layer, and common layer.

③Lineage diagram display

Displays the complete lineage chain diagram, allowing manual expansion of multiple levels upstream or downstream. Supports fuzzy search based on field name keywords. Specifically, if there is a circular dependency, further expansion is not possible, and you need to continue viewing downstream from the starting node.

  • Central node: Displays the name of the current metric and is identified with Current Metric in the upper left corner of the node.

  • Metric details: Hover over a node to view metric details, including the metric's type, name, asset source, table, statistical granularity, catalog, asset tags, and description. Specifically, the central node does not display metric details.

    Note
    • Only metrics that are listed, for which you have viewing permissions, and that have lineage enabled in asset editing support viewing lineage relationships.

    • You can click a metric name to navigate to its details page to view lineage relationships.

    • You can click the name of a metric's table to navigate to the asset details page to view lineage relationships.

  • Node connections: If assets have cross-layer dependencies, they are represented by solid lines. If an asset has self-dependency, it is represented by a dashed line.
