The Secoda extension for Glean makes it easy to discover and take action on trusted data directly from your enterprise search.

How does the Secoda and Glean connection work

The Secoda and Glean connection is a one-way integration that pushes metadata from Secoda into Glean’s search index. Once connected, resources like documents, tables, glossary terms, columns, dashboards, and more become searchable within Glean, each linking back to its source in Secoda. As more companies adopt Glean as their internal search standard, this integration ensures that trusted data from Secoda appears alongside other knowledge sources, without requiring users to switch tools. You can use a filter-based UI to control which resources are indexed, allowing selected assets like tables, dashboards, or definitions, to surface in everyday searches. This integration makes it easier for business users to find and understand trusted data, while enabling data teams to extend the reach and impact of their documentation, lineage, and governance efforts.

What users can search for in Glean

Users can search for tables, columns, dashboards, glossary terms, lineage diagrams, and documentation from Secoda, all indexed to appear directly in Glean. Admins can define filters to select which resources are pushed to Glean, using the same type of block-based UI used for configuring governance rules in Secoda.

How to search data lineage in Glean

With the Glean extension, users can explore data lineage without ever leaving their search results. Simply search for a data asset in Glean, click on the associated Secoda result, and use the lineage action to visualize upstream and downstream dependencies. Whether you're troubleshooting a dashboard or validating a data source, lineage diagrams from Secoda are now just a search away.

Create a data glossary accessible from Glean

Your glossary doesn’t have to live in a separate tool. With Secoda’s Glean extension, glossary terms and definitions are indexed and searchable in the same interface your team uses to find internal docs and wikis. This means business users can quickly access curated definitions and documentation in context, reducing confusion and improving data understanding across teams.

Share trusted data knowledge across your company

One of the biggest challenges in data governance is making knowledge discoverable. With the Glean extension, you can surface trusted answers and documentation created in Secoda in front of the broader company, especially those who might not use Secoda directly. This encourages self-service and helps data teams scale the reach of their work across departments.
