At launch, Lineage UI will include Extract and Load tables only, with Transform tables support coming soon afterwards.

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 (beta) 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.

• Newly created objects may experience a delay before appearing in Lineage UI.
• Lineage UI is currently available only for data tables.

Use case

Visibility of data tables dependencies and monitoring of pipeline statuses

Steps:

1. Navigate to the Data Explorer page and open the required data table.
2. Click the Lineage tab to visualize the data flow and dependencies for that table.
3. Trace backward through the lineage diagram to check for any errors.

Why this works: Lineage UI reduces investigation time by visually highlighting dependencies, allowing you to isolate errors faster.

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.
