Navigating the Console

Get to know how the Infinite Data Console is organized and learn to move between querying, governance, auditing, and administration.

Navigating the Console

When to use this​

  • Use it when you want to get your bearings in the product.
  • Use it when training someone new on the Console.
  • Use it when you do not know which area a task belongs to.

Before you start​

  • You need to be signed in to the Infinite Data Console.
  • Your role must show the area in question in the side menu.
  • If the area does not appear, ask your administrator to review your usage role.

Step by step​

  1. Use the side menu to reach the main areas.
  2. Go to Data Catalog when you want to discover available data.
  3. Go to QueryMesh Explorer when you want to write and run queries.
  4. Go to Data Governance when you want to create or review access rules.
  5. Go to Users, Groups, and Profiles when you want to administer people and responsibilities.
  6. Go to Audit Center when you want to investigate recorded actions.
  7. Use the current screen's filters, search, and tabs before switching areas.

What happens next​

  • You cut down on back-and-forth and find the right screen for each task.
  • The Console keeps navigation aligned with your usage role.
  • Sensitive actions ask for review or confirmation before saving.

Common errors​

  • An area does not appear in the menu: your role does not include that responsibility.
  • Empty list: there may be no data released to you, or the filter may be too narrow.
  • Access denied: ask the access manager to review the data rule or the group you belong to.

Good practice​

  • Read the empty states: they usually explain what is missing in order to move on.
  • Use catalog, schema, table, and group names as references in conversations with your administrator.
  • Avoid opening several access changes at once without reviewing the final summary.
