Field-Level Lineage

Field-level lineage traces individual columns through your stack. It answers which upstream fields populate a dashboard metric column or which transformations touch a warehouse column.

Catalog derives field lineage from query history, integration parsers, and supported transformation metadata. Coverage depends on the source technology and SQL patterns in use.

Field-level lineage complements asset-level lineage, which links whole tables and dashboards. Start with asset lineage for orientation, then drill to fields for impact analysis or debugging.

See Lineage and MCP Integration for API access to field lineage tools.
