After creating your account, follow the step-by-step tutorials to set up your environment:
Quickstart steps
1. Create a space
Spaces are folders for all your objects. First, let’s learn how to create spaces for your company, department, or divisions to organize your data.
2. Add an application to your space
Apps define what type of objects can be stored in a space. Let’s add an app called business glossary to your space. It will serve as a central location for your business terms, indicators, and rules.
3. Add objects to your application
Objects represent business assets like business terms, tables, or reports. They are the building blocks in Dawiso! In this step, we will learn how to add objects manually. Later, we will go over how to import data using a metadata scanning application.
4. Create relations between objects
Object relations allow us to create visual mind maps and enable precise data analysis. We will learn how to connect objects to easily map data dependencies and gain a clearer picture of how your data interacts.
5. Automatically scan data
Metadata scanner apps can automatically detect where, e.g., business terms are used in your databases. You can use Dawiso to scan your data and automatically detect where your data is stored.
Next Steps
With these steps complete, you now have the foundation of Dawiso in place. You’ve created your environment, structured your data, and explored both manual and automated ways to populate it.
From here, you can start building on these basics to adapt Dawiso to your organization’s specific needs.
