Read the header
The header shows the entity name and its current state. A published entity displays an enabled or disabled indicator. An unpublished entity displays Draft. Review these fields before using the entity:- Version identifies the entity version you are viewing.
- Type distinguishes a blueprint, transformation, or imported entity.
- Status shows whether a version is live or moving through deployment.
- Query access indicates whether your role can query the data.
- Source, Created, Created By, and Tags provide ownership and discovery context when available.
Query access and management access are separate. You may be able to inspect an entity without
being able to query, edit, publish, snapshot, or export it.
Review the content
Use the section navigation to move through the page.Description
Read the entity’s intended purpose and any usage guidance. Treat a missing or ambiguous description as a signal to confirm the entity with its owner before building a critical report.Columns
Search columns by name, data type, description, or constraint. The table can show constraints such as required, primary key, foreign key, unique, allowed values, or PII. Column labels describe the schema. Your role still determines whether DataX returns the underlying values.Sample data
Use sample rows to confirm shape and representative values. Samples can be unavailable when the entity has no data, your role cannot query it, or the sample request fails.SQL
Blueprints and transformations can include a SQL section. Use Copy SQL when you need the definition in a worksheet. Imported entities may not expose SQL. The page can also list upstream dependencies and downstream entities. Select a dependency to open its detail page.Use entity actions
Open More actions to see the actions available for the entity and your role.- Explore shows high-level connections.
- Relationships shows column-level joins and cardinality.
- Lineage shows the transformation flow.
- Version Control compares published and historical versions.
- Copy starts a copy workflow when available. Use Copy SQL to copy SQL text.
- Export requires scheduled-export management access; Snapshot requires snapshot management access. Both require an enabled, published blueprint that you can query.
- Enable or Disable changes whether a published entity is available.
- Delete removes a supported client-managed entity after confirmation.
Review and change refresh latency
Where available, Latency shows the configured refresh lag and Last refresh shows the most recent refresh recorded for the entity. Latency is a configuration value; it does not guarantee that upstream data has arrived. With blueprint management access, open the entity’s menu in Source explorer and select Edit Latency. The entity must be enabled.- Review Current Latency and Upstream entities.
- Enter a positive whole number in New latency, then choose Unit.
- Resolve any dependency validation message shown in the dialog.
- Select Update and confirm the updated latency in the entity details.
