After you create a MaxCompute data source and attach it to DataWorks Data Development, you can perform operations on MaxCompute tables directly in Data Map. These operations include retrieving data, previewing data, viewing metadata details, viewing data lineage, managing tables using classification and grouping, and using EBS Lens. This topic describes how to view and manage MaxCompute tables in Data Map.
Prerequisites
You must create a MaxCompute data source and attach it to DataWorks Data Development. After the data source is attached, DataWorks automatically collects metadata from the engine. The system performs a one-time full collection of existing metadata and then collects incremental metadata daily. The collected metadata is aggregated in Data Map. The system automatically maintains the metadata collector, so you do not need to manage it.
In Data Map, you can search for the target MaxCompute table using the global metadata search feature.
If you cannot find the target table in Data Map, you can go to to manually synchronize the table metadata.
View table details
In the list of search results, click the name of the target table to go to the table details page.

Quick actions | At the top of the page, you can Request Permissions for the table, add the table to a Data Album or View The Album, Favorite The Table, Generate An API on the DataService Studio page, or query and analyze data by writing SQL statements on the SQL Query page. | ||
Basic table information | In the Basic Table Information area, you can view the table's Views, Reads, Favorites, Lifecycle , Approval Owner, Health Score, Table Owner, Table Type, and other information. | ||
Table model information | View information such as the data warehouse layer, business category, and storage policy of the current model table. Click View Model to go to the page and view the created model table. On the table editing page, you can modify table information, publish the table, view the table's operation logs, or perform data development for the table model. Note Only tables generated by DataWorks Intelligent Data Modeling display model information. | ||
Table permission information | This section displays your current table permissions, and you can click Click To View to go to the Table Permission Request page to request permissions. | ||
Technical table information | Used to view the Last DDL Modification Time, Last Data Modification Time, and Last Access Time. Note Last viewed time:
| - | |
Details | View the table's Field Information, Partition Information, and Change History. | ||
Output information | If the table data changes periodically with a corresponding task, you can click Output Information to view the running information of the production task for the table. This data is collected offline and has a T+1 delay. | - | |
Lineage | View the lineage between nodes within an engine or between different engines. You can also view the lineage between an engine (as a data source) and the generated data APIs. In addition, MaxCompute supports viewing the complete lineage based on offline synchronization. This data is collected in real time. Note To view the complete end-to-end lineage from the perspective of an API, including upstream data sources and downstream applications, see View API details. | ||
Instructions | You can perform operations such as Edit, View History, and View Markdown Syntax to understand the data based on its business description. | - | |
Data health | Data governance | Displays the governance health score, the trend of issues that require governance, and specific governance issues for the current table. If the table has issues that require governance, you can quickly resolve them. | |
Data Quality | Displays the details of the Data Quality monitoring rules configured for the current table and a list of DQC alerts. You can click Configure Rules on the right to go to the Data Quality page and configure monitoring rules for the table. | ||
Usage records | Displays the table's usage records from the perspectives of Frequent associations and Access statistics.
| ||
Data preview | Preview 20 random data records from the current table. Important
| ||
EBS Lens | You can create an EBS Lens for the table to obtain data statistics and distribution through in-depth data analysis and interpretation. | ||

Request and manage table permissions
You can use DataWorks Security Center to request query and operation permissions for MaxCompute tables and then view the request records in Data Map.
Request table permissions
Go to the table details page and click Request Permissions.
NoteIf the table is hidden, the Request Permissions button is not displayed.
By default, you are redirected to the Permission Request page in the new Security Center. For more information, see MaxCompute Data Access Permission Control.
Manage table permissions
In the navigation pane on the left of Data Map, click My Data.
In the navigation pane on the left, click Data I Manage. On this page, you can update the table's lifecycle and visibility, or perform operations such as delete, change owner, and modify category.
Permission approval: You can go to the page to view permission approval details and approval records. For more information, see Data access control.
Manage MaxCompute tables
Manage tables using data collections
You can add the current table to a target data collection and manage the table on the data collection's details page. You can also view the data collections that contain the current table. For more information, see Data collections.
Manage tables using category navigation
In the navigation pane on the left of the Data Map page, click Configuration Management > Category Management Configuration to configure category-based navigation for managing MaxCompute tables. For more information, see Configuration Management.
