Quick Start Guide (Legacy UI)

Start automating your DataOps in three easy steps:

1. Connect to a Data Source to Send or Ingest Data​

In the left bar menu, click on Sources, then click on the [CREATE NEW SOURCE] button in the top right. Select your data source. See How to Add a Data Source for more details on adding a data source. Input your credentials. For more help with credentials, see the articles on the Connectors page.

2. Preview and Select Data Sets​

Click on Data Sets-> Source Datasets in the left menu. You will see a list of Datasets Nexla has discovered in your sources. Clicking on a dataset box will bring up its detailed view. Edit the names of the Data Sets Nexla has scanned, if desired. Click on any Data Set and then select Preview to see attributes and sample values in that Data Set. Add descriptions to each attribute to begin your data dictionary. You can also check read stats on the data set, notifications, and errors.

3. Send Data to a Destination​

On any dataset, click on the paper airplane icon to select the data you wish to transform and send. Here, you can also apply any Transforms you need to make to your data. From there, choose the destination for the data or share it as a dataset with someone. That’s it!

See How to Send a Nexset (Dataset) for more details on creating a data flow.
