Navigating datasets in the catalog
When opening a dataset from Catalog, you can access many details, benefit from several data quality indicators and look into the data itself. This information is organized in the following tabs:
-
Overview
-
Profile
-
Lineage
-
Impact analysis
Overview
In the Overview tab, you can get general details about your dataset such as the connection it is based on, its description, when the data was last refreshed, and more importantly, data quality indicators.
Overview tab
Profile
The Profile tab contains graphical representations of your data. The type of visualization or histogram depends on the data type, and you can get statistics and information on the values for each field of your dataset. For more information, see Managing field-level metadata and data profiling.
Profile tab
By default, all datasets aside from QVD and Parquet files are profiled automatically. QVD and Parquet files must be manually profiled.
Lineage
The Lineage tab offers a visual representation of the origin of the data contained in the dataset, such as the source table, and the data pipeline used to import it. See Analyzing lineage for apps, scripts, and datasets for more information.
Lineage tab
Impact analysis
The impact analysis of a dataset allows you to see the apps or data products that use this dataset and that will be impacted if you edit or delete it. See Analyzing impact analysis for apps, scripts, and datasets for more information.
