Workflow Public Preview

Workflows orchestrate how Atlan syncs metadata from your data sources. The Workflow page gives you complete visibility into this process.

Workflow Overview

Monitor your latest run​

The top section shows your most recent workflow execution:

  • Run status (Running, Completed, Failed)
  • Run timestamp and duration
  • Link to detailed run logs for troubleshooting

Track discovered metadata​

Each workflow run extracts metadata from your source system. Two tabs show what's been discovered:

Assets tab​

  • Total asset count across all runs
  • Breakdown by type (tables, views, schemas)
  • Asset creation timeline
  • Direct links to Asset Discovery with filters applied

Lineage coverage tab​

  • Coverage percentage by asset type
  • Upstream and downstream relationship counts
  • Lineage quality metrics
  • Links to lineage-filtered views in Asset Discovery

Review historical performance​

The Run history section displays your last five workflow executions:

  • Status, timestamp, and duration for each run
  • Trigger type (manual or scheduled)
  • Quick access to detailed run information

Use this data to spot trends and optimize your workflow schedule.

Access workflow configuration​

The right panel displays connection details:

  • Connection name: Your data source identifier
  • Schedule type: How the workflow is triggered
  • Creation date: When the connection was created
  • Workflow ID: Unique workflow identifier
  • Quick link: Connector-specific documentation

View audit logs​

The Activity tab displays audit logs for all workflow configuration changes:

  • User: Who modified the configuration
  • Parameters: What was changed with before/after values
  • Timestamp: When the change occurred
  • Impact tracking: Which pipelines were affected

Use this audit trail to maintain governance, troubleshoot issues, and understand the downstream impact of configuration changes. See View workflow audit logs for step-by-step instructions.
