Anlytic is a modern analytics platform that connects directly to your data warehouse or database, allowing your team to build dashboards, explore data, and share insights — without moving data out of your infrastructure. This page introduces the key concepts you will encounter throughout the platform and documentation. Understanding these building blocks will help you navigate the setup process and get the most out of Anlytic.

Core concepts

Workspaces

A workspace is the top-level environment in Anlytic. It contains all your data connections, catalogs, dashboards, teams, and users. Think of it as your organization’s home within the platform. Most organizations use a single workspace. Each workspace has its own settings, members, and permissions.

Connectors

A connector is a configured connection to an external data source such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, Snowflake, or BigQuery. Connectors store the credentials and connection details that Anlytic uses to query your data in real-time. You need at least one connector before you can start building dashboards.

Catalogs

A catalog defines which tables and columns from your connected data sources are available for analysis. It acts as a curated data layer between your raw database and the dashboards your team builds. Within a catalog, you can:
  • Select which tables to expose
  • Define metadata — labels, descriptions, and formatting for columns
  • Create relationships — define how tables join together so Anlytic can automatically combine data across tables

Teams

A team is a group of users within a workspace. Teams control access to dashboards and content. Each team member is assigned a role that determines what they can view, edit, or manage. Teams allow you to organize your workspace around departments, projects, or any structure that fits your organization.

Dashboards

A dashboard is a collection of charts and visualizations arranged in rows. Dashboards pull data from your catalog and display it through various chart types — tables, bar charts, maps, heatmaps, and more. Dashboards can be shared with teams and filtered interactively to explore different slices of your data.

Workbooks

A workbook is the editing environment where you build and configure a dashboard. Inside a workbook, you add rows, create charts, apply filters, and arrange your layout. Once you are done, the result is a published dashboard.

Functions

Functions are formula expressions you can use inside data tables to transform, calculate, and analyze data. They work similarly to spreadsheet formulas and support a wide range of operations — date manipulation, math, text processing, conditional logic, aggregations, and window calculations.

How it all fits together

The typical workflow in Anlytic follows four steps:
1

Connect

Set up a connector to your database or data warehouse.
2

Catalog

Create a catalog that defines which tables, columns, metadata, and relationships are available for analysis.
3

Build

Create dashboards with charts that query your catalog data in real-time.
4

Share

Organize dashboards and share them with teams across your workspace.
