Left Hand Menu

One of Catalog's key features is to allow you to search for your data. You can search through the left-hand menu or through the search bar, accessible from everywhere in the App.

Catalog organizes your assets in 3 categories:

• Data: the elements in your warehouses. The hierarchy is defined by:
  • Warehouse technology
  • Database
  • Schema
  • Table
• Dashboards: the elements in your data visualization tools
  • Visualization technology
  • Inherited hierarchy from the technology
• Knowledge: widely used KPIs definition and documentation
