Lineage Panel

The Lineage Panel is located at the bottom of the VSCode interface, near the terminal tab. It provides a visual representation of the current asset's lineage.

Functionality

• Display Asset Lineage

  • Shows how the current asset is connected to others in the data pipeline.
  • The view updates automatically when changes are made or when switching to another asset.

• Expand Dependencies:

  • The lineage panel includes an options menu, collapsed by default. When expanded, you can choose which part of the lineage to display: All (downstream, upstream), only one of them, or Direct Only (with Direct Only selected by default).
  • Each downstream or upstream node that has further dependencies displays a plus button. Clicking this button expands the node to show the dependencies in the same direction.

• Navigate to Node Asset

  • When you click on a particular node, a link appears that allows you to navigate directly to the corresponding asset file by clicking it.

• Control panel:

  • A control panel allows you to zoom in and out, fit the view, or lock the nodes in place to prevent displacement.
