Viewing Workbook Lineage

The workbook Lineage view offers a visual representation of how data flows from raw sources through pipelines into workbooks, helping users trace, audit, and understand column-level transformations.

Structure​

  • Nodes represent data sources (e.g., MySQL, S3, PostgreSQL) or workbooks.
  • Edges represent pipelines that move or transform data between nodes.

Interactions​

  • Click a Node to view metadata about the data source or workbook, including creation details and tables/columns.
  • Click an Edge to view pipeline information—source/destination, replication method, job status, and more.
  • Click a Column to trace the flow of that specific column from its raw source. The lineage graph highlights the related edge path, making it easy to follow column-level dependencies.
  • Search: Find a specific column, table, or node quickly.
  • Expand/Collapse: Simplify the graph view by collapsing unrelated branches or expanding full data flows.
