Worksheets
Worksheets provides metadata reporting capabilities where both search and browse (as well as a direct link in the OBJECTS menu) lead to a common worksheet page:
- One may start from search and then migrating to a worksheet allows for simple text filtering as a basis for a worksheet (e.g. customer)
- One may easily start from a category (e.g. database / tables)
- One may save and share worksheets so that other users may quickly reproduce and build on earlier queries/filtering/column selections
- Direct access to a default worksheet does not predefine anything.
The worksheet capabilities offer you the ability to select multiple object types (e.g. database / tables + Flat files) and subset by model (My Data lake + Sales DW database) before drilling down with a large number of filters:
Filtering is available on a number of properties of an object, including most all properties which may be included as columns in a worksheet. Filters of particular note are detailed individually.
Worksheets can be reused and shared using the Share functionality. However, one may also do so by saving the URL as favorites (further versions will support full report management within the application).
