The following symbols can appear in lineage graphs:


Symbols	Name	Description and Actions
	Data Set entity	Represents a column, table, view, file, database, or other physical or logical data asset. While all data set entities are shown as a blue hexagon, the icon may vary based on the type of data asset and the source system.
	Process entity	Represents a query, job, or other process that applied to data assets. While all process entities are shown as a green hexagon, the icon may vary based on the type of process and the source system.
	Current entity	A red circle indicates the current entity in the lineage graph.
	Selected entity	A blue circle indicates the entity selected in the lineage graph.
	Lineage	Connects the current entity with entities that provided input data. Entities connected with yellow lines are ancestors of the current entity.
	Impact	Connects the current entity with entities that could have an impact if data or schema information is changed in the current entity. Entities connected with red lines are descendants of the current entity.
