Data Views
Data views allow you to create summarized snapshots from a table, making it easy to present meaningful insights.
Create a Data View
1. Add a new data view
- To add a data view from a table, click the
Pivot view
button on the top right of any table, and a data view will be added below. - Alternatively, you can manually create a data view by typing
/data
on a new line and selectingData View
. Use theSource
menu to connect it to any table.
2. Build your data view by adding columns
- Use the
+
button to add columns of data that you want to showcase. - Drag the columns to rearrange their order or remove them as needed.
- The order of your columns shapes the data view and determines how repeated values are nested together.
3. Aggregate information
- Click the down triangle button on a column and select an operation from the
Aggregate
menu. - This allows you to add new rows with totals for any group of information.
4. Reuse data from a view with drag and drop
- Hover over a result in the data view until your pointer turns into a hand.
- Drag the number into your text or any calculation block to use it.
5. Live Updates
- Data views automatically sync and reflect changes made to the source table.
- This ensures that your data views are always up to date with the latest information.
