Data Lineage

Visualize how data flows through your organization

The Data Lineage tool creates interactive flow diagrams showing how data moves between systems. Trace data upstream to its sources or downstream to its destinations — all automatically generated from your inventory records.

Under the Hood

How Lineage Is Generated

Lineage graphs are automatically built from your Systems and Pipelines inventories — no manual mapping required

Systems Inventory

Every system in your inventory becomes a potential node in the lineage graph. Systems marked as "Use" are included in lineage calculations.

Pipelines Inventory

Pipelines define the connections between systems. Each pipeline has a source and target system, creating the edges in your lineage graph.

Lineage Graph

Select any system as your focus point. IDA traces up to 4 hops in each direction, revealing the complete data flow through your organization.
