For a dedicated Feature Branch in a Project, you can access the Dataflow Modeling overview by clicking on the Dataflow Modeling menu in the navigation bar:
The Dataflow Modeling overview is made of several areas:
Your user should have permission Data Models > View Data Model to access the Dataflow Modeling overview.
Header
In the Dataflow Modeling overview header, you can:
- Create a Dataflow Modeling View
- Manage Dataflow Modeling Views
- Generate artifacts for a specific Dataflow Modeling View
- Display a Dataflow Modeling View / Switch between Dataflow Modeling Views
Content
The Dataflow Modeling overview content shows different Layers based on the Semantic configuration of the Generator used for the Project. In the previous example these layers include Source, Stage, Raw Vault, Business Vault, and Datamart.
These layers are grouped according to the Medallion architecture (see Understand the Layering Concept). In the previous example, they are categorized as Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
In each Layer, the corresponding Model Objects are sorted by Model Object Type (Stage, Raw Vault Composite...) and then by Model Object name.
If a Model Object was created from a Linked Project, a Linked icon appears on the Model Object card:
Please look at Manage Linked Projects.
The Model Object card colors depend on the Model Object Type. The colors are defined by the Generator Configuration. As an example:
A Warning notification appears on the relevant Model Object card if a Business Rule is not respected.
For more details, see Understand warnings and errors.
In the Dataflow Modeling overview content, you can:
- Collapse or Expand a Layer in a Dataflow Modeling View
- Sort the Model Objects inside a Layer:
There are 3 sort options:
- A-Z: Sorting by model object name from A to Z
- Z-A: Sorting by model object name from Z to A
- Type (default sort option): Sorting by type and inside a type by name from A-Z
- Add a Model Object to a Dataflow Modeling View
Your user should have permission Data Models > Data Modelling.
