It provides a detailed view of how data is interconnected within a report, which can be critical for understanding data sources and dependencies. ### Usage notes - **reportId:** The UUID of the report containing the element. Retrieve the **reportId** by calling the [/v2/reports](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/list-reports) endpoint. - **elementId:** The UUID of the element within the report whose lineage is being queried. Retrieve the **elementId** by first calling the [/v2/reports/{reportId}/pages](listreportpages) endpoint, then calling the [/v2/reports/{reportId}/pages/{pageId}/elements](listreportpageelements) endpoint. - The element that you request must be a data element, such as a table, pivot table, or visualization. Requesting a UI or control element returns an error. ### Usage scenarios - **Data governance:** Allows data managers to track how information is used and propagated through different report elements. - **Debugging and optimization:** Helps in identifying and resolving issues in data processing or in the structure of report setups. - **Data source management**: Identify the data sources in use in a specific report. ### Best practices - Use this endpoint to regularly audit report structures, ensuring that all data connections and transformations are correct and optimized. - Integrate this information into documentation or data dictionaries to enhance transparency and understanding across teams.
