Manual Lineage Importer

Push extra lineage to Catalog

Unfortunately, there are cases where Catalog cannot fetch the necessary metadata to automatically compute your lineage 😢

This does not mean that you can't have lineage in the app !

You just need to send a CSV file as described below 👇

The lineage will stay in Catalog, until you decide to delete it. To set it up, please contact [email protected]
