How to use the documentation
In the dbt Cal-ITP warehouse documentation, you can navigate from either the Database
perspective (table-level) or the Project
perspective (as the files are configured in the repository).
The Database
Perspective
This allows you to view the dbt project as it exists in the warehouse.
To examine the documentation from the Database
perspective:
Once at the dbt docs homepage, make sure that the Database
tab is selected in the left-side panel
In the same left-side panel, under the Tables and Views
heading, click on cal-itp-data-infra
which will expand
Within that list, select the dataset schema of your choice
From here, a dropdown list of tables will appear and you can select a table to view its documentation
The Project
Perspective
This allows you to view the warehouse project as it exists as files in the repository.
