Technical lineage settings

Important Use the following options to see the documentation for the latest or classic technical lineage viewer UI: Latest technical lineage viewer UI Classic technical lineage viewer UI

The Settings tab pane allows you to edit the technical lineage, search for queries and export the technical lineage.

You can use the Display options pane to edit the technical lineage.

No	Name	Description
	View Type	Determines which details are shown in the technical lineage graph: Attributes: Select this if your technical lineage is column-level lineage. Objects: Select this if your technical lineage is table-level lineage. Transformations: Select this to see incoming and outgoing transformations.
	Dependencies	Determines which dependencies are shown in the technical lineage graph: Inbound dependencies only. Outbound dependencies only. 2-way dependencies.
	Depth	Determines the maximum flow depth. The relation path length from the first node in the technical lineage graph to any other node is automatically adjusted to the maximum flow depth. If you see in the technical lineage graph, the flow depth is set to a lower value than the actual graph size.
	Group by parent object	Groups tables and columns together by their hierarchical parent object. For example, a schema is the parent object of a table.
	Only end points	Hides all data objects in the middle of the data flow and only shows the ending points of the technical lineage.
	Show indirect dependencies	Includes indirect dependencies in a technical lineage. When a column flows from one table to another, the lineage reflects the direct dependency between the column in the source table and the column in the target table. This is considered a direct lineage. By default, Collibra Data Lineage only shows direct lineage. An indirect lineage, on the other hand, shows indirect dependencies. For example, if a JOIN clause is used in a query, the columns in the resulting view are generated by the JOIN clause; in other words, by an indirect dependency, not an actual flow of data.

No	Name	Description
	Search field	Finds specific transformation code in a selected object or attribute. As you type, corresponding object names from the technical lineage appear in a drop-down list. If you press `Enter`, the technical lineage only shows the parts that contain your search term(s).
	Visualization options	Defines how data objects are shown in the technical lineage.
	Group by parent object	Groups tables and columns together by their hierarchical parent object. For example, a schema is the parent object of a table.
	Only ending points	Hides all data objects in the middle of the data flow and only show the ending points of the technical lineage.
	Depth	Determines the maximum flow depth. The relation path length from the first node in the technical lineage graph to any other node is automatically adjusted to the maximum flow depth. If you see in the technical lineage graph, the flow depth is set to a lower value than the actual graph size.

	Export	Exports the technical lineage to the following export types: PDF PNG CSV Full CSV JSON
	Show status	Switches to: The Sources tab page, which shows the analysis results of your data sources. The Stitching tab page, which shows an overview of assets and data objects and shows which ones are stitched.
