Atlan crawls and maps the following assets and properties from Looker.
Atlan also supports the following lineage:
- Asset-level lineage for views, models, looks, dashboards, tiles, and explores.
- Field-level lineage for views, explores, looks, tiles, and dashboards.
- Lineage between explore fields and dashboards. This allows you to view all the fields used in a given dashboard and trace their upstream lineage to SQL columns.
- Cross-project lineage for Looker assets. For example, if an explore includes a view from an imported project, Atlan will parse project manifest files to generate lineage.
🚨 Careful! Currently Atlan only represents the assets marked with 🔀 in lineage.
