Visualise overall dataflow on system level (with DAG?)

Hi everyone,

I’m new to dbt and it’s my first post here. Hope that I don’t raise stupid question.

My question is: Is it possible to modify DAG to show the upper lever instead of table level?

Our business stakeholders just want to have an idea of what source data is available (what’s in PSA/raw vault/buisness vault already) and what data products are available for which use cases.

My thought was we could define a “name” in source.yml for different sources/systems, is it possible to make use of this? Or if I’m too imaginative, may I know how do you manage these non-techie but business oriented documentation in an easy way?

Many thanks!

Hi @elva , welcome to the community :waving_hand:

Short quick answer: Tags could be what you are looking for.

For further guidance let us know how you are using dbt, if you are using dbt Platform and how your business stakeholders are accessing the DAG/docs.
