🎉 What's new

Drumroll please, partial assets have arrived in Atlan! Ever looked at a report or dashboard on the lineage graph and wondered where the data comes from? Atlan now supports partial assets in lineage and pipeline graphs to help you view the assets referenced in your orchestration pipelines that are yet to be cataloged in Atlan.

✨ Let's dig deeper

Partial assets are source or target assets that have not been cataloged in Atlan. With this release, you'll gain insights into the full scope of your data flow, uncovering context that was previously unavailable.

Here's what you need to know about partial assets in Atlan:

• Displayed with a dotted border on the lineage graph.
• Only available in the visual representation of lineage in Atlan — lineage or pipeline view.
• You cannot search for, query, or enrich metadata for partial assets.
• You can view and download impact report for partial assets.
• Column-level lineage for partial assets is supported.

👏 Give it a shot

Atlan currently supports the creation of partial assets for the following tools:

• Airflow/OpenLineage
• Amazon MWAA/OpenLineage
• Astronomer/OpenLineage
• Google Cloud Composer/OpenLineage
• Apache Spark/OpenLineage

In the future, this support will be expanded to data movement tools like Matillion, Fivetran, and Airbyte, as well as BI sources, ensuring that no dataset remains undiscovered in Atlan.

Enhance your discovery experience in Atlan with partial assets in lineage and pipeline view!
