Technical lineage Browse tab pane

A search field that you can use to find a specific data object. Enter the name of a database, schema, table, or column. Searching for a system name is not supported.

When you hover over the search field, a tool tip is displayed, which shows the available search methods:

• To search for a schema, table, or column with a specific name, enter <nodetype>:<name>, where <nodetype> is the node type, which can be schema, table, or column, and <name> is the respective schema name, table name, or column name. Searching for a specific system or database is not supported.
• For hierarchical searches, enter two or more combinations of <nodetype>:<name> separated by a space. For example, you can search by using the following combinations: 
  • database:<dbname> schema:<schemaname>
  • database:<dbname> table:<tablename>
  • database:<dbname> schema:<schemaname> table:<tablename> column:<columnname>

  For a detailed list of node types that you can search in your technical lineage, see the tool tip.

• You can use abbreviations for search terms, for example s for schema or proc and p for procedure. For details, see the tool tip.
• You can use % as a wildcard.

A link to the complete technical lineage, showing all data objects in your data sources.

A navigation tree in which you can search for specific data objects and visualize them in your technical lineage. The data objects are grouped by node type and have the following structure: system (if applicable) > database > schema > table > column.

Note The list of data objects contains all systems, databases, schemas, tables and columns that were collected from the data sources by the lineage harvester. If available, it also shows the technical lineage of BI sources, for example Power BI and Looker. In that case, the structure follows the existing structure in the BI source metadata.

Note The UNUSED branch contains data objects that were detected by Collibra Data Lineage, but are not included in any Technical lineage. Search is not supported in the UNUSED section. If you search for a data object in the UNUSED section, the No object found message is shown.
