Benefits of Data Lineage
Global IDs uses automated processes to make the most of data lineage, forming a visual map of all pathways taken by a particular data asset to save time by not having to manually comb through the flow of data. This can be considered the foremost benefit of exploiting data lineage. For example, if you wanted to know the reason behind an erroneous data value in your latest report, and you do not have access to the data lineage, it would take copious amounts of time to figure it out, and you would have to repeat the process for every error in the datasets. Having a visual map of the data-flow quickens the process of tracking bugs or errors significantly.
