Connecting your first data

Lumenore Connect allows users to establish connections to retrieve data from various sources, whether a local file, a database, or a live connection. With over 80+ connectors available, users can easily link their data to create schemas and dashboards.

This first step involves creating or adding a dataset via a chosen connector to initiate dashboard creation. Once a dataset is created or added, it is stored as a local dataset within the platform.

To connect your data through any connector follow below steps:

Step 1: Log into your account, then on screen click on connect data or select the “Data” tab from the left panel.
Step 2: Click “Create New Dataset” to add your data.

On the Lumenore Dataset Connector screen, you can select from various connectors to establish connections with your data source, depending on your requirements. For the demonstration, we are selecting an Excel connector.

Step 3: Select “Browse File” or import the file from cloud storage.

Step 4: Upon successful file upload, a message will appear. Proceed by clicking “Next.”

Step 5: Click the check box(es) to Select Data Tables and columns, then click “Preview”.

Step 6: The table preview allows users to filter or clean the data as needed. Subsequently, click on “Save.”

Step 7: Input the “Dataset name” and, if desired, provide a description. Afterward, click “OK.”

Step 8: The dialogue box confirming the successful upload of the dataset will appear.
