AgileData App Network Partner Orientation¶
Showing our AgileData Network Partners the magic of the AgileData App and AgileData Platform is important, we believe seeing is believing and trying helps in buying and selling.
We have put together these recommended steps to help AgileData Network Partners quickly understand how to leverage the Platform and App, by using it.
A number of the sections below are part of our Answer a Quick Question guide which provides a fastpath through the app.

Collect¶
You can push. pull and manually collect data into the AgileData Platform.
Catalog¶
Browse and Search for the data (Tiles) you need.
2 - View Tile Details¶
The tile details screen contains a number of areas which provide information about the tile and its underlying data. View a technical and business metadata for the data, by viewing the details of a Tile. It’s where we can see everything about a Tile (the data).

Design¶
Design your customers business processes and data using business language, while they watch. Creates a Conceptual Data model, that you can use in Change rules to create the physical data model.
3 - Create Topic Canvas¶
Create a Conceptual data model, using the “who does what” pattern. Model the business interactively with your customers stakeholders and subject matter experts.

Rules¶
Create Change Rules that transforms the way data is stored, mapping the source data to the conceptual and physical data model and deriving new data fields. Low code way of doing the T in ELT.
6 - Create Trust Rules¶
Trust Rules are data integrity checks that are automatically applied to each new row of data that is loaded into a Tile.

DataOps¶
Automation, monitoring, logging and maintaining the AgileData Platform. We automate everything we can so you (and we) don’t have to do manual data tasks.
Run Rules¶
Run a flow of rules from within the Data Map. One click to run forward and you can see what will be impacted before you do it.
Product Guide
Data Map
Notifications¶
Monitor everything that is happening on the AgileData Platform. See what run successfully and what failed at a glance.
Product Guide
Notifications
Trust Rules Exceptions¶
Trust rule exceptions are reported on the notifications page and allow users to drill straight through to the records that didn’t meet the trust rule condition
Product Guide
Load History¶
Whenever we create or refresh a tile, we keep a log of the number of records loaded (or updated) into the tile, and which change rule was used, we also check for load volume anomalies and highlight them on the historical load graph.
Product Guide
Track and Trace¶
Track and Trace is just like tracking a parcel through the postal network … but, in our scenario we’re tracking a value through a data pipeline
Product Guide
Consume¶
Consume the data in any last mile tool. Use the data in the customers viz tool or your favourite analytics tool.
View data in Looker Studio¶
View the Consume Tiles in Looker Studio. Looker Studio is a no license viz and reporting option, it is pretty good.
Product Guide
Explore Data¶
The ‘Explore’ menu options allow you to quickly expose the tile in Looker Studio or Google Facets Dive for further exploration
Product Guide
Explore your data
ASK ADI¶
Ask a natural language question, get the data to answer it. Your typical Text to SQL pattern.
Product Guide
Other¶
Anything else we think is useful that doesnt fit above.
Auto Rules¶
Automated creation of Change Rules in one click. (and the tenancy level feature) Great for prototyping data, exposes new data in a Consume Tile quickly so you can access it with last mile tools, you should always loop back and Design the data.
Product Guide
Refer to the Auto Rules Guide
ML Rules¶
Create BigQuery ML models directly in a Change Rule. No need to go to the BQML screens to create and run advanced analytics models.
Product Guide
Examples of simple ML rules can be found in our partner tenancy > https://alliance-agiledata-d.appspot.com/app/rules/
Optional¶
Collect¶
Upload csv file (optional)¶
Manually upload a csv, excel or JSON files via the AgileData App. Great for prototyping.
Product Guide
Automatically Push files via Command Line Interface (optional)¶
Automatically push data to the AgileData Platform, via CLI and Google Cloud Storage. Perfect if the customer wants to push the data to you, rather than let you reach into their Environemnt and pull it.
Product Guide
Catalog¶
Expand Preview (optional)¶
View a preview of the data and see the profile statistics. Great if you need a quick look at the data before you start working with it
Product Guide
Expand Fields to show Profile stats (optional)¶
Under the data preview (profile statictics) section we have the fields section which exapnds out to show the min and max values for all the fields in a tile, this is great way to get a good understanding of what the range of data in your tile is
Product Guide
Tile Detail - Fields
Add Tags (optional)¶
Tag Tiles with what ever you want to, so you can easily find them later. Great for grouping data by data domain, business unit, source system or flagging PII.
Product Guide
Add Context (optional)¶
Add and store additional text against a Tile, automatically versioned. Great for adding business context or notes you know you will need in six months tome when you touch this data again.
