Definitions and lineage · The lineage · Element
The path
Where the number comes from and what happens on the way.
The part
What it is
Source, joins, filters, aggregations and the report. Each step is a place where two paths can diverge.
Recorded at the level of what was done rather than the level of code, so that a non-technical reader can follow it.
The smallest level
The attributes it carries
Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
