Dashboard and UI Guide

This page orients you around the main UI surfaces. For detailed workflows, follow the links to the dedicated docs.

Main surfaces

After launch, the app opens Data Explorer. No account or sign-in is required to start — the IDE (Explorer, SQL, connections) is always free. An account is only needed when you run your first stream.

The left sidebar gives access to:

Data Explorer — browse and query connected sources
Streams — create and manage Load/CDC streams
Logs — execution logs for streams and explorer operations
Account — subscription, API key, and install ID

Data Explorer

Data Explorer is the default view after launch. From any connection you can:

browse databases, files, and S3 paths
inspect table structure and metadata
view and edit data
run SQL queries
generate ER diagrams

Data Explorer uses a two-pane layout where both panes are fully equal — like split editors in VS Code. For details, see Data Explorer and SQL Console.

Connections are managed directly in the Data Explorer sidebar. Click + New Connection at the top to add one. Hover over any connection to reveal a mini-toolbar with Edit (pencil), Clone (copy), and Delete (trash) actions.

The sidebar lists all configured connections — databases, local files, and S3-compatible storage — with their tree of schemas, tables, and objects. For setup details, see Connection Management.

Hover over supported tables, views, files, and file-backed table folders to reveal quick actions for opening in either pane or opening in SQL Console.

Logs

The Logs view shows execution logs shared across Data Explorer and Streams. Use it to inspect query results, stream progress, errors, and diagnostics.

Streams

The stream creation flow:

Select source and target — pick existing connections or create new ones inline.
Configure — choose Load or CDC, select tables/schemas/files, define scope.
Start and monitor — run the stream and track progress, metrics, and per-table status.

For configuration details, see Stream Configuration Guide. For monitoring, see Observability.

Account

The Account page shows:

Account — signed-in email
Subscription — current plan and billing link
API Credentials — API key and install ID used to authenticate API requests
