The Lineage feature in Improvado provides a visual map of your data’s journey, illustrating relationships, dependencies, and transformations across your pipeline. This tool empowers you to:

  • Track how data flows from source to destination.
  • Identify errors in real-time.
  • Gain clarity on data tables dependencies and relationships.

Ideal for auditing, troubleshooting, or optimizing pipelines, Lineage ensures full transparency in your data ecosystem.

How to Use It?

To begin using the Lineage feature:

  1. Open the Data Explorer in the left-hand menu.
  2. Select the desired data table from the list.
  3. Navigate to the Lineage tab.

When you open the Lineage for a specific data table, you'll see the complete pipeline connected to that table. This includes all dependencies, so you get the full picture at a glance. You can select any element in the visualization to view detailed information about it in the details panel on the right side of the screen.

Use Cases

Understanding Dependencies and Relationships

Lineage offers a comprehensive view of how tables and data transformations are interlinked. This helps trace data origins, monitor how it's transformed, and understand its relationships across the system.

Error Diagnostics

Lineage streamlines troubleshooting by highlighting errors directly in the visualization. This makes it easy to spot issues instantly and trace errors to their root cause by following the dataflow backwards.

Conclusion

In summary, the Lineage feature equips you with a clear, interactive view of your data’s flow, making it easier to understand relationships, diagnose issues, and optimize your pipeline.
