  1. Exploring Metadata

Entity View

PreviousEntitiesNextMetadata Warehouse

Last updated 4 months ago

Whenever you want to see the details about a table, dashboard or column you can enter its entity view tab. It compiles all the info about the specific data asset.

It will show all associated tags from dbt and the data warehouse, indicating which system attached the tag.

From there, you can click on any of the associated labels to open Search and see all assets that have the same tag.

Lineage

This tab will show you the direct connections of this entity in a visual graph: one level up- and downstream. From here you can also click your way to the visual lineage explorer to dive deep.

Usage and cost

Alvin automatically maps usage/cost based on query semantics
