Introduction to Data Explorer

Introduction

Data Explorer allows you to create widgets to analyze and visualize your data.

A widget is an individual element on a dashboard. Use Data Explorer to create table and chart (visualization) widgets based on your data. You can also add image, video, and text widgets to your dashboard.

In Data Explorer, you create and edit widgets in a view. Only views that are added to a dashboard as a widget are saved.

To start using Data Explorer, load data from datastreams into Adverity Data Storage.
