Have a look around.

The demo is a real DataCrafter server running the browser client, not a video and not a scripted tour. It is the product itself, with a shared sign-in and nothing to install.

Not quite open yet

The demo instance is being set up. We are taking the time to sandbox it properly first, because a public instance of a tool that reads and writes files deserves more care than a quick launch.

Here is what you will see when it opens, so you can decide whether it is worth your time.

Finding your way around

A sign-in dialog appears first. After that you are in the workspace, and the shape of the screen is the same in the browser and on the desktop.

  1. Pick a Folder and a Set

    Top left. A Folder groups work; a Set is the versioning unit that everything you build belongs to. Nothing can be created until both are chosen, which is deliberate - an object with no Set has no identity.

  2. Open the Modules tree

    Below the Set picker, one row per module type. Read it bottom-up and it follows the processing chain: Data Sources at the bottom, Workflows at the top. The greyed-out italic rows are the modules that do not exist yet.

  3. Start at the bottom

    Right-click Data Sources to create one - it describes a table and its columns. Then a Data Loader to fill it from a spreadsheet, and a Data Model to join it to something else. Each opens as a tab in the workspace.

  4. Then work the data

    With a model in place, a Classifier sorts its rows through a condition tree you author, and an Aggregation groups and measures them. Both produce a new model you can view, chain into a Pipeline, or report on.

  5. Look at the result

    Right-click any Data Model and choose View to open the viewer and page through real rows. This is the analysis surface - the same data a report or the Excel add-in would read.

  6. Run it as one job

    A Workflow is a canvas: drop the objects on, wire them in order, and run the lot against a date. Nodes colour in as they go, and each one keeps its own log.

What to expect from a shared demo

Want your own instance, with your own data and no shared workspace? That is what a trial will be, once DataCrafter is generally available. Tell us what you need and we will keep you posted.
