in Using Dataiku

Hi,

Do you know wheter is possible to find where a column's table is used inside a project?

My colleagues and I work on large datasets together and I was wondering if it is possible to quickly find the receipe where a certain filed is used. This would be very useful in reviewing a project some time after its delivery.

Thank you all for any kind feedback.

    Hi @Mrcello89
    ,
    Using the global search in DSS should help with this : https://knowledge.dataiku.com/latest/getting-started/dataiku-ui/concept-global-search.html
    You can search for a specific field name and should be able to find which datasets/projects are potentially using this.
    In this example I am looking for "board_id" and I can narrow down which DSS recipes are using this field.

    Hi,

    @AlexT
    thank you for the suggestion, it's a very good starting point....Do you know if there is also a way to filter only the cases where a filed is 'actually' used?

    In fact, using global search I find out also the receipes the filed appears in some way (example selected columns in joins) and it makes the list of appearances very very long.

    Regards,
