5 - Build the lineage for the flight alerts dataset

📖 Task Introduction

In this task, you'll create a new pipeline snapshot using the flight_alerts_clean dataset. Using the expand feature, we'll be able to ask, "How was this table created? How many different data sources were used to generate it? How up-to-date are those datasets?"

🔨 Task Instructions

1. Click the blue ➕ Add resources button near the center of the graph.

2. In the right sidebar, choose All projects, then search for and open the Foundry Training & Resources project's Example Projects folder, then its [Datasource] Flight Alerts subfolder, then its datasets subfolder, then its clean subfolder.

3. Click flight_alerts_clean to add the dataset as a node on the graph.

4. Close the right-hand navigation panel by clicking the two right-facing "chevron" arrows located to the left of the panel.

5. Click the flight_alerts_clean node on the graph.

6. Select the flight_alerts_clean node, then click on the Preview tab at the bottom of the screen to see a snapshot of the data.

7. After adding the dataset to the graph, you can add its ancestors or descendants with the expand functionality. With the flight_alerts_clean node selected, click on the Expand icon in the upper left toolbar menu.

8. In the subsequent dropdown menu, click the « arrow icon located just above the Expand parents text.

9. Click the blue Add 9 nodes button. Note: It's OK if your button shows a number other than 9.
