Capturing project hierarchy for Tableau assets
Tableau supports nested project hierarchies, which were not visible as asset metadata during asset discovery. This led to ambiguity around project hierarchy, especially when multiple projects with the same name had different hierarchies.
Nested project hierarchy metadata is now available in Atlan!
- View nested project hierarchy on the project search card and Overview sidebar for easy identification.
- Click on the project name in the hierarchy to get details on the parent folders for quick discovery and context.
For example, if there are multiple projects with the same name Product Analytics
nested within the Website
, Mobile-iOS
, and Mobile-Android
project hierarchies, a user searching for Product Analytics
in Atlan will now have additional context with the project hierarchy metadata available during discovery.
Based on the feedback received, we will continue making other enhancements — such as adding nested hierarchies for Tableau dashboards — to create an even better discovery experience for BI assets.
