Data Lineage, How to Create a Full Zone Data Lineage?

PayamKarbasi

I'm new to DSS 14, and need a full data lineage per zone. The "Read the Documentation" link on the main page is leading to:

Not Found

The requested URL was not found on this server.

And the Data Lineage — Dataiku DSS 14 documentation doesn't explain any details on!
I see I can only get a live data lineage per column, not for the entire Zone including hundreds of datasets and recipes. Is that right?

Dataiku version used: 14

Hello,

Thanks for reporting the broken link. It has been fixed and will point to the correct page in a future update.

In DSS 14, there are two different ways to explore columns:

Data Lineage
This tracks how column-level data is transformed across datasets and projects within your organization’s Dataiku instance.
For more background on the concept, see:

https://knowledge.dataiku.com/latest/data-quality/concept-data-lineage.html

Flow view > Column usage
This Flow view helps you see where a column is present or used across datasets within your project, and it works by design within a Flow zone.
For an example of how Flow views work, see:

https://knowledge.dataiku.com/latest/ui/flow/tutorial-flow-management.html#apply-a-view

If your goal is to navigate a large zone to identify where a column is present or not, the best way is to use the Flow view > Column usage.
If your goal is more a root-cause or impact analysis for a specific column, Data Lineage is the right feature.

Best,
