Report Catalog in Dataedo

The Report Catalog allows you to document reports - either importing automatically or adding them manually. This allows you to have all of your reports, visualizations, and datasets cataloged in one place. Data Lineage allows you to show the lineage right from the data source, through the BI dataset to the report or visualization.

Reports

Dataedo allows you to build a catalog of reports in your BI tools. Each report can be described as any other asset in the catalog - with titles/aliases, descriptions, custom fields, and linked to business terms. Some imported reports can be displayed with a preview directly from the Dataedo Portal.

Report visualizations and fields

Dataedo will extract the structure of your reports (sections/pages, visualizations/charts, fields). You can describe each report element and link it to business terms in the business glossary.

Datasets

Dataedo will document Datasets as well. In the screenshot below, you can see a list of datasets and for each dataset, Dataedo will document both tables and columns.

Data Lineage

One of the most powerful parts of the Report Catalog is Data Lineage. This feature allows you to show the whole data flow until it is shown to the user. In the following example, you can see simplified Data Lineage, showing the flow from the IP database, through the report Dataset all the way to an actual Report.
