The graph shows the relationships between layers. A layer L1 depends on a layer L2 if there is at least one asset in L1 that depends on at least one asset in L2.

If the model is "clean"

  • layers above only depend on layers below
  • layers below only depend on layer above
  • there may be internal dependencies within layers


That is not mandatory; but projects that do not adhere to the rule are harder to understand and to explain.


When you click on one layer, the graph gets colour:


deep blue

directly related layers above

green

the reference layer

bright red

directly related layers below

grey

unrelated
