What is the Data Catalog?

Data Catalog enables Data Managers to manage their indicators and augment them with useful information. Specifically this allows:

• Organizing datasets into a hierarchical structure that is surfaced in the Analyze tool.

• Hide or make visible specific groups of data.

• Provide useful metadata to indicators (e.g. definitions, operations etc.)

• Create new custom calculations.

In Data Catalog, the Analyze hierarchical selector is organized in the form of a directory table that resembles a ‘file system’. This allows us to navigate and organize categories (folders) and indicators (files) in a familiar format. The indicators themselves are the files in the file system. Each file is its own page called the Indicator Details page. This page contains metadata about each indicator and options to edit that metadata.
