Looker

Looker is Daasity's primary BI tool for building reports, exploring data, and sharing dashboards across your organization.

Overview

Looker is Daasity's primary tool for data visualization and reporting. It connects to your Daasity data warehouse and gives your team access to pre-built Explores and dashboards that are maintained and updated by Daasity. You can use Looker to build reports from scratch, customize visualizations, schedule deliveries, and export data in a variety of formats.


How your Looker instance is set up

Daasity provisions and manages your Looker instance using a Hub & Spoke architecture. Daasity maintains a central set of core files — the hub — that are imported directly into your Looker instance. These files power your out-of-the-box Explores and LookML dashboards and are updated automatically when Daasity pushes changes.

Your instance — the spoke — contains both the imported base files and a set of editable files where you can customize the base configuration or build entirely new content using LookML refinements.

For a full breakdown of how the Hub & Spoke works and how to build on top of it, see Advanced / Developerarrow-up-right.
