Investigating Caboodle Flashcards
You are writing a report in Caboodle about surgeries. A colleague on the OpTime team tells you that the patient is stored in I ORC 50. What is the best way to determine which Caboodle table and column extracts this data?
Search the Cogito Data Dictionary for “ORC 50”. To limit the search results to ONLY Caboodle, search “CB: ORC 50”.
A column in Caboodle does not contain the data you expect to see. To determine if the issue is within the source data or the ETL process, you want to investigate the Clarity data. How can you determine which Clarity column is used to populate the Caboodle column?
Investigate the data lineage for the column using the Cogito Data Dictionary.
How many SSIS packages can populate a single table in Caboodle?
A. A single SSIS package
B. Multiple SSIS packages all from Clarity
C. Multiple SSIS packages from multiple sources
A, B, C
True or False: The ER Diagram contains information that cannot be found anywhere else in the Cogito Data Dictionary.
False. The ER Diagram is a visual representation of information that can be found in the dictionary
a comprehensive resource that provides detailed information about the tables, columns, and data lineage within the Caboodle and Clarity databases. It includes descriptions of database objects, important characteristics, table-level and column-level data lineage, and information to help identify joins and relationships between tables.
Cogito Data Dictionary
a feature within Epic’s Hyperspace that allows users to search for and investigate database objects in the Cogito Data Dictionary. It provides a centralized location for accessing information about Clarity and Caboodle tables, columns, and their relationships. Users can filter content, search by specific criteria, and explore detailed metadata.
Analytics Catalog
refers to the level of detail or specificity of the data stored in a table
Granularity
is the original database from which data is extracted during the ETL process
source database
a visual representation of the relationships between tables in a database.

Explanation: The Advanced section lists metadata tables used during the ETL process, which are part of the Data Model Component (DMC).
True or False: Join diagrams show only the joins that will be used in a certain report.
True
Explanation: Join diagrams are visual representations of the tables, columns, and joins involved in a specific report, showing only the joins that will be used.
