Prerequisites
- A dbt™ project set up in the IDE.
- At least two materialized models.
Steps
1
Open the lineage view
In the panel at the bottom of the Code IDE, select the Lineage tab. The model open in your editor sits at the center, with upstream dependencies on the left and downstream on the right.
2
Navigate to a model
Hover a node and select the eye icon to open that model in the editor.
3
Adjust depth and view
Use the fields on the right to change how many upstream and downstream levels show (enter a number and press
Enter, or use + for all). Zoom, recenter, or expand to full screen as needed.The lineage graph renders your model’s dependencies, and selecting a node opens the corresponding file. Use it to spot everything a change would affect before you open a pull request.
