The Dashboard is your home page after you sign in. Use it to ask a Mind a question, open any area of DataMind OS, see how your data flows, and pick up recent conversations.
The Dashboard has three views. Switch between them with the tabs at the top of the page.
| View | What it shows | You see it when you have |
|---|---|---|
| Chat | A greeting and a message box for a Mind | View Minds, Add Chat/Message and at least one Mind you can see |
| Playground | Cards that open each area, with quick actions | Always |
| Flow | A diagram of your data, from sources to outputs | View Dashboard |
Only the views you can use appear, in this order: Chat, Playground, Flow. The Dashboard opens the view you used last in this browser. If that view is no longer available to you, it opens the first view you can use.
You control three settings on the Dashboard:
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| View | Switches between Chat, Playground and Flow. | The view you used last in this browser |
| Visibility | Sets whether the next conversation you start from the Dashboard is Private or Regular. | Regular |
| Mind | The Mind the message box talks to. | The Mind you picked last in this browser, or the first Mind you can see |
The Chat view greets you by your first name with Good morning, Good afternoon or Good evening, and asks What would you like to explore today?
The Mind's chat opens with your message. Ask a Mind explains what happens next.
If you have Create Private Chat, a Private / Regular switch sits above the message box. Switch it to Private before you send. A private conversation is visible only to you, not even to administrators. See Chat commands, shortcuts and privacy.
Floating icons move across the background of the Chat view. Point at one to pause it, then click it to put that Mind into the message box for your question. When reduced motion is on for your device, the icons stay still.
Below the message box, the install card offers Install app, or Open app when the app is already installed. See Your profile and preferences for installing DataMind OS as an app.
The Playground view is a map of DataMind OS, under the heading Find your way around.
The map shows only what you can open. The Playground lists every card, its quick actions and where each one takes you.
The Flow view draws how your data moves: your sources on the left, the platform's figures in the middle and the outputs on the right.
The Flow view explains the whole diagram, what the figures count and what each box opens.
On wide screens, a rail runs down the right of the Dashboard. It shows the sections your permissions allow:
No services are being monitored. The cards show 0 GB or 0 MB until their figures load, and sizes appear in MiB, GiB or TiB. Storage means the disk space used on the primary volume. For service history and the daily status bands, see Live Metrics.If none of these sections applies to you, the rail is not shown.
In the Conversations list you can open, rename, star or delete a conversation. Deleting asks Delete conversation? Confirm with Delete.
Deleting a conversation is permanent. The confirmation says you cannot undo it.
| What you use | Needs |
|---|---|
| Chat view | View Minds, Add Chat/Message and one Mind you can see |
| Flow view, and the rail's health, Memory and Storage cards | View Dashboard |
| Private switch | Create Private Chat |
| Scheduled tasks in the rail | View Tasks and one Mind you can see |
| Conversations in the rail | View Minds and one Mind you can see |
| Opening Data Lake, Data Sources and source chips | View Lake Objects |
| Opening Data Warehouse | View Warehouse Objects |
| Opening AI Minds and the Minds output | View Minds |
| Opening User Activity | View Users |
| Opening the Writeback output | View WriteBack Objects |
Everyone who can open the Flow sees every figure group, source and output. A box you cannot open has no arrow and does not respond to clicks.
Chat needs View Minds, Add Chat/Message and at least one Mind you can see. Ask your administrator to check your roles. Who can do what with Minds lists what each permission unlocks.
The Flow needs View Dashboard. Your administrator can add it to one of your roles. See Roles and permissions.
It opens the view you used last in this browser. If that view is no longer available to you, it opens the first view you can use. In another browser, or after you clear the site data, it opens Chat when you can use it, and Playground when you cannot.
No. The views, the figures and the rail sections follow your permissions only. You choose the view, the Mind and the chat visibility, nothing else.
Yes, if you have Create Private Chat. Switch Private on above the message box before you send. See Chat commands, shortcuts and privacy.
Your browser cannot install DataMind OS. The card says Installation is available in supported browsers. Use a browser that supports installing apps. Your profile and preferences covers installing DataMind OS as an app.
The rail shows on wide screens only, and only when at least one of its sections applies to you. The health cards need View Dashboard, scheduled tasks need View Tasks and a Mind you can see, and Conversations needs View Minds and a Mind you can see. On a narrow window, or with none of these, the rail is not shown.
They are shortcuts. Click one to put that Mind into the message box, then type your question. Point at an icon to pause it. When reduced motion is on for your device, the icons stay still.
No. Deleting is permanent, and the confirmation says you cannot undo it. Check the title in the Delete conversation? dialog before you confirm with Delete.
