Information note

When viewing the semantic usage in the Semantic Flow tab, the List view and the Diagram view do not present the same result set. The List view presents the portion of the semantic definition trace which contributes to the (inferred) Business Name and Business Description of the object. However, the Diagram view shows the complete lineage trace. In this way, you may use the List view to identify how the (inferred) Business Name and Business Description was determined and you may use the Diagram view to see all the lineage impacting related objects.

Simply edit a specific term to do so.
