Steps for Searching Using Hierarchy

Access the Hierarchy View:

• Navigate to the Hierarchy View within the OpenMetadata interface, where data is organized in a structured, layered manner.
• This view displays data assets and entities arranged based on their relationships and dependencies.

Navigating the Hierarchical Structure:

• Expand or collapse different levels of the hierarchy to drill down into more specific data assets or to view higher-level parent assets.
• Click on a data asset within the hierarchy to view detailed information, metadata, or related data connections.
