Example workflow

Review data sources in Alation

Review data sources in the Alation account I specify. Return the relevant identifiers, what you found, and any information still needed to answer my question.

1. Confirm the account and the question to answer. Read data sources and keep the relevant identifiers with the result.
2. Use the information to prepare a decision. This connection is read only; a person or another authorized tool makes any change in Alation.
3. Check the returned information against the question. Refresh Alation when the decision needs current facts, and record what is still missing.
