Views

Views

Views reshape data from a collection or combine existing views. Use them to prepare data for analysis, charts, and monitors. See Sources for how incoming data is organized into collections.

Create a view

  1. Open Views and click New View.
  2. In the Collection tab, select a Source Collection.
  3. Enter a View Name. You can also add an Output Schema or Generation Hint.
  4. Click Create View.

To combine existing views instead, use the View tab and choose a base view with one or more lookup views.

Inspect a view

Open a view and select Records to inspect its transformed output.

View status

The status chip can show Empty, Preparing, Indexing, Needs TGL, Active, or Error. Preparing and Indexing mean Tailglow is building the view. Needs TGL means the view needs a transform script for a schema version. Error means generation or indexing needs attention.
