Catalogue overview
Read the Overview tab — usage counters, the Needs attention queue, Quick add, and recent activity.
The Overview tab is the front page of the data catalogue. It answers three questions at a glance: how much of your plan you are using, what is broken, and what changed recently.
Usage counters
Three counters sit across the top of the tab.
| Counter | Reads | Click-through |
|---|---|---|
| Data sources | 8 / 20 active against your plan limit |
Sources tab |
| Datasets | Total datasets across every source | Data sets tab |
| Needs attention | Items requiring a human decision | Needs attention queue |
Limits are per team
The source limit counts active sources. Pausing a source frees a slot without deleting its datasets or the charts built on them.
Needs attention
The queue lists everything blocked, newest first, with the action that clears it. Each row shows the source, the reason, and when it was detected.
| Reason | Action button | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication expired | Reconnect | Credentials are no longer valid or were rotated |
| Schema drift | Review | The source’s shape changed — new or removed tables, renamed or retyped columns |
Fix authentication first
Authentication failures cascade. One rotated database password can put every dataset under that
source into Auth error, which then looks like several unrelated problems. Always clear auth rows
before investigating anything else.
Use the ⋮ menu on any row to snooze an item for 24 hours, assign it to a teammate, or open the underlying source.
Quick add
Quick add is a shortcut to the connectors you use most — PostgreSQL, Neo4j, CSV / Excel — with the full list behind View all. It creates the same source that Add data does; it only skips the picker.
PostgreSQL
Cloud or local-agent runtime, live queries or scheduled syncs.
Neo4j
A Cypher query becomes a dataset — nodes and relationships as rows.
CSV / Excel
One-off or recurring file uploads.
Datasets table
The lower panel lists recent datasets with their source, type, status, how many projects consume them, and the last sync time.
The Projects column is the one to check before deleting anything — a dataset reading 3 is
feeding three separate projects’ charts.
Recent activity
The activity feed records syncs, access grants, mapping suggestions, and schema changes, with the actor and timestamp:
- MySQL Sales DB synced successfully — 5 mins ago
- Edgars approved access to CRM Contacts — 28 mins ago
- AI found 3 new mapping suggestions — 1 hour ago
Activity is your audit trail
Access grants and schema changes stay in the feed permanently. Filter by actor or object type from View all when you need to reconstruct what changed and when.
