Familiarisation with the User Interface

You can access the Dashboard by clicking on the Dashboard Tab which is the second icon on the sidebar, right below the Quick Start Tab. Once there, you’ll notice that the Main UI screen on the Home page is divided into a number of cards and panes which give you a snapshot of metrics related to your DataChannel account.

Under the Top banner you’ll notice a carousel of six cards arranged side by side. These correspond to metrics for successful runs, total reports configured, runs with errors+partial success runs, data moved, total data sources configured and rows moved. Some of these cards exhibit an arrow sign on the top right corner of the card as you move your mouse over the card. This arrow can be used to expand the card to view a graphical depiction of the metrics shown.

Below the account metrics cards, you’ll notice the main UI screen divided into two side-by-side panes. The left pane is a feed that displays a listing of the recent activities in your account in reverse chronological order. You can use the scroll bar on the right side of the pane to navigate up/down through it.

The right pane is a feed that displays a listing of the notifications related to your account in reverse chronological order. You can use the scroll bar on the right side of the pane to navigate up/down through it.

Below the recent activities and notifications panes, the main UI screen is further subdivided into three panes, one below the other. The top pane allows you to view the detailed metrics for each of your configured forward connectors/ data sources.

The search box inside the Data Sources pane allows you to quickly find the metrics for a specific data source.

Navigating between different pages of the Data Sources pane is possible through the page numbers on the navigation bar, near the bottom right corner of the Data Sources pane.

Below the Data Sources pane you can view the detailed metrics for each of your configured reverse connectors.

The search box inside the Reverse Connectors pane allows you to quickly find the metrics for a specific destination.

Navigating between different pages of the Reverse Connectors pane is possible through the page numbers on the navigation bar, near the bottom right corner of the Reverse Connectors pane.

The bottom pane allows you to view the detailed metrics for each of your configured dbt™ Tansformations.

The search box inside the dbt™ Tansformations pane allows you to quickly find the metrics for a specific dbt™ Tansformation.

Navigating between different pages of the dbt™ Tansformations pane is possible through the page numbers on the navigation bar, near the bottom right corner of the dbt™ Tansformations pane.

On the top right corner of the Dashboard page, below the top banner, you’ll notice a date picker box. This date picker allows you to select the time period for which you would like to view the metrics for your Datachannel Account.
