  1. Database Schema Documentation: Easily capture and outline your database structures directly in Voyager. This feature helps in visualizing and understanding the architecture of your databases, essential for maintenance and integration.

  2. Data Dictionaries and Structures: Voyager's data dictionary module is a powerful tool that allows for the creation of detailed descriptions of each data element within your system. This feature goes beyond basic documentation; it enables you to link actual data with its corresponding entries in the data dictionary.

    1. Detailed Descriptions: Start by crafting comprehensive definitions for each data element, including its type, format, usage, and any relevant constraints or relationships. This creates a rich, detailed understanding of each piece of data in your system.

    2. Linking Data Elements: With Voyager, you can directly associate these dictionary entries with the actual data they describe. This linking turns the data dictionary into a dynamic, interactive map of your data landscape.

    3. Unified Understanding: The integration of data elements with their dictionary descriptions ensures that every team member has immediate access to vital information about the data they are using. This facilitates consistency in data interpretation and usage across different departments and projects.

    4. Enhanced Data Governance: This feature also strengthens data governance, as the linked dictionary entries provide clear guidelines and standards for data handling, ensuring compliance and maintaining data quality throughout the organization.

  3. Data Governance Policies: Voyager allows you to document and enforce critical data governance policies. This includes setting rules for data integrity and protection, support for data retention policies in line with compliance needs, tracking data lineage and provenance for auditing, and establishing clear transparency for data usage and handling.
