Example for finding parent object for assigned classification or term

You can view and search for Atlas entities by using the assigned name for the classification or term.

When you create an entity and assign a classification or term to the entity, the immediate parent of the assigned classification or term is displayed when you hover over the classification or term. The parent-child relationship lineage appears in the assigned @parent1, parent2, parent3 format, depending upon the number of parent-child relationships. Click the assigned classification and term to view the details.

Finding parent classifications

As an example, assume that there is an entity called Customer_360_View for which a classification named Confidential_Operational_Analytics is assigned. Under the Classification tab on the Atlas user interface, you can search for the list of classifications and their child classifications, including child classifications another level deeper and so on.
