The following tabs are available: You can click the data_center_tab_toggle.png icon to show the names of the above tabs.

Data Warehouse

The Data Warehouse in Domo provides a three-dimensional visual representation of all DataSets in your Domo, broken down by connector, along with data currently flowing into and between them. DataSets for each connector type are represented as stacks on a rotating palette. You can configure the order and height of the connector stacks to indicate different metrics. For example, you could sort the connector stacks by number of rows but have the height of the individual stacks represent the number of DataSets. For more information about The Data Warehouse, see Using The Data Warehouse to Manage Data. In the Data Warehouse tab you have access to a toolbar that provides shortcuts for opening the DomoR installation page.

DataSets and DataFlows tabs

The DataSets and DataFlows tabs list DataSets and DataFlows, respectively, in your Domo instance. In these tabs you can
  • view DataSets and DataFlows that have been added to Domo For a DataSet, you can view information about the DataSet, including the connector, the name, the owner, the number of rows and columns in the DataSet, the number of cards being powered by the DataSet, the total number of times these cards have been viewed, and the amount of time since the DataSet was last updated. You can also preview or delete a DataSet. For a DataFlow, you can view information about the DataFlow, including the name, owner, number of input and output DataSets, number of runs vs. success rate, and the amount of time since the DataFlow was last run. Both tabs include options for searching with or without filters, applying quick filters, saving favorite filters, and sorting the DataSets/DataFlows in the list.
  • add DataSets and DataFlows From either tab you can…
  • visually identify DataSets needing attention DataSets with errors do not run as scheduled until errors are resolved. Domo lets you know when a DataSet cannot run successfully by displaying the error on the DataSet in the Data Center and in the Accounts page, and by sending the owner of the DataSet an alert that describes the error and links to the DataSet.
The following screenshot points out the most important parts of the DataFlows and DataSets tabs. (This screenshot is specifically from the DataFlows tab, but the only difference between the two tabs is different information in the rows.)

You can learn about these components in the following table: Tips:
  • You can view DataSets for a specific third-party application or data provider from the Launcher page.
  • In the Profile page, you can view all of the DataSets owned by a user.

View Details

When you click the name of a DataSet or click Wrench.png > View Details, a page appears showing details for the DataSet. This page is divided into a number of tabs. Some of these tabs appear for every DataSet you view, while others only appear for specific user roles and connector types. These tabs are Overview, C****ards, History, Settings, Data Lineage, and Personalized Data Permissions. For more information, see Adding a DataSet Using a Connector. Video - Domo Interface - DataSet Details
  • The Overview tab includes four tiles that show you the number of cards powered from this DataSet, the number of users it is being shared with, the number of DataSets built from the connector, and the number of DataFlows created from the DataSet. All of these tiles also provide “jump-off points” to other actions in Domo using this DataSet.
  • The Cards tab contains previews of cards powered by the DataSet.
  • The History tab shows the run history for the DataSet and only appears if the DataSet has run history data.
  • The Settings tab lets you change the connector configuration options for the DataSet. It only appears if you are the DataSet owner or have an “Admin” security role or a custom role with the “Manage DataSets” privilege enabled.
  • The Data Lineage tab shows you the lineage for this DataSet.
  • The Personalized Data Permissions tab allows you to set PDP policies on the DataSet and does not appear unless you are the DataSet owner or have an “Admin” security role or a custom role with the “Manage DataSets” privilege enabled.
For more information, see Connecting to Data with Connectors.

History tab

In the History tab, you can see a listing of all of the times this DataSet has been updated. This tab shows the start and end times for all updates, the amount of time the update took (duration), whether the update was scheduled or manual, and the result of the update (successful or failed). You can also see the amount of time that has transpired since the last successful run, the average update duration, and the overall success rate. Finally, for any history item, several actions are available by mousing over the row and clicking the wrench icon. The following screenshot shows an example of a History tab for a DataSet called “Compensation Costs”:
History_Tab.png
Action items available by clicking the wrench icon are as follows:
  • Preview updated rows. Displays the rows in the DataSet that were changed when this update occurred.
  • Download. Downloads the data in this version of the DataSet as a flat text file that can be opened in an Internet browser or word processor.
  • Delete this update. Deletes this version of the DataSet from your history.
  • Revert to this point. Reverts the DataSet to this version.
Actions are available only for successful updates.

Settings tab

In the Settings tab for a DataSet, you have access to the options used to set up this DataSet, similar to the view that appears when you initially configure a connector DataSet. Click a row to open up the settings in that row for viewing and editing. Settings categories may differ between connectors. For more information about connector configuration options, see Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

You can refer to the following table to learn more about each component: For more information about DataFlows, see SQL DataFlows .

Editor view (Magic ETL DataFlows)

For times when you need to transform your DataSets before you can make compelling visualizations, you can use Magic ETL DataFlows to transform multiple DataSets into a new DataSet that you can use to power up cards.
Tip: ETL means Extract, Transform, and Load, which refers to a process in database warehousing for extracting data, transforming it into proper format or structure for querying and analyzing purposes, and loading it into the target data warehouse. In Magic ETL DataFlows, your DataSets are extracted and loaded automatically, and transformed based on actions in the Magic ETL DataFlow.
Magic ETL DataFlows let you visually define and sequence operations to transform your Domo DataSets—without learning SQL or leaving Domo. For information about the Magic ETL DataFlow tiles, see all of the following: ETL DataFlow Example
ETL_Example.png
The UI for ETL DataFlows consists of the following elements:

ETL DataFlow checklist

The checklist shows a list of things to do before you can save a Magic ETL DataFlow. You can show the checklist by clicking de_help.png at the top of the canvas. The following example illustrates essential tasks to perform before saving a Magic ETL DataFlow.

Essential tasks include the following: For more information about DataFlows, see Viewing Dataflow Details.

Accounts tab

In the Accounts tab, you can manage third-party system accounts associated with DataSets in Domo. You can view accounts associated with DataSets; add, edit, or delete accounts; and associate DataSets with another account.
Tip: By creating accounts to data source systems, you can specify and maintain your credentials in one central place, then create DataSets in Domo using the account—without having to specify your credentials to the data source system.
In the Accounts tab, you can
  • add user accounts for different connectors (similar to a DSN)
  • view a list of user accounts you have added
  • disconnect accounts you have added
  • share accounts with other users
  • see DataSets you have access to
  • transfer DataSets from one account to another account
  • change account associations
  • rename accounts
  • visually identify DataSets needing attention
  • edit credentials for accounts that require manual authentication (as opposed to those that use OAuth)
The following screenshot calls out the most important parts of the Accounts tab:
