About Data Platform User Console
The Data Platform User Console provides a central control mechanism from which to access and consume Data Platform data. It integrates and centralizes the searching, browsing, and reporting of Technopedia and Normalize data. Depending on your licensing agreement, the User Console is comprised of the following:
| • | Search and browse—Search Technopedia data and view normalized systems and Data Platform Analyze reports through a single interface. |
| • | Integrated analytics—Data Platform Analyze is tightly integrated with the new search functionality. You can start an analysis immediately after finding Technopedia and Normalize data through search and browse. When viewing a report, you can right-click a Technopedia entry and go to the User Console detail page for detailed information about the object. In addition, the following design changes have been made: |
| • | Combined DB—The Publish and Data Warehouse databases are merged for enhanced performance. |
| • | The DW Star Schema will be populated based on the activation of Analyze. |
| • | Data Platform Analyze runs on top of Publish DB |
| • | Private catalog—A component of the User Console that provides you with the following functionality: |
| • | Update Technopedia public data with custom data. For example, update the price of software |
| • | Create and manage privately-defined catalog objects. |
| • | Create and track applications that you have developed internally. |
