Summary

Metaplane has introduced a new list view feature that complements its existing lineage map. The platform now allows users to see how data flows through their stack, from Fivetran to the BI tool, at both the column and table levels. While the lineage map is useful for tracing data flows and showing relationships, sometimes a simple list view is more effective when looking for specific upstream or downstream lineages of tables, columns, or dashboards. The new list view displays direct and indirect lineages, broken down by the number of "hops" from the selected object.
