Some of your data is used downstream in dashboards, applications, data science pipelines, reverse ETLs, etc.
These downstream data consumers are called exposures.The Elementary lineage graph presents downstream exposures of two origins:
exposures: - name: returns_dashboard label: Returned Orders # Pretty name, will be used if provided type: dashboard url: https://your.bi.tool/dashboards/2 description: > Returned orders over time platform: Tableau # Elementary field path: Tableau # For the UI folders tree, elementary field depends_on: - ref('returned_orders') owner: name: Callum McData email: [email protected] tags: ["finance"] meta: referenced_columns: # Used for exposure validation test - column_name: "order_id" data_type: "numeric"
ELEMENTARY CLOUDElementary will automatically and continuously extend the column-level lineage to the dashboard level of your data visualization tool.If your BI tool has its own modeling layers (e.g. data sources in Tableu, Explores in Looker), these will also be included in the graph and column lineage.
