Sessions

In this section, we'll cover how to get oriented with a DataChat session.

Launch a Session​

All sessions in DataChat start at the homepage. To start a session, go to the homepage and select New > Session. By default, you can have a maximum of five sessions open at a time.

DataChat sessions have three main components:

  • Data tab
  • Chart tab
  • Data Assistant

Data Tab​

The Data tab displays all of datasets loaded into the session. From here, you can:

  • Select a datasets sets to set it as the current dataset.
  • Double-click a dataset to rename it.
  • Click the versions dropdown next to the dataset name to see available versions of that dataset. Note that datasets with a lock next to them are read-only. Performing actions on them first copies the selected dataset to "[Dataset] v2" and then performs the action on that dataset.
  • Use the Data Assistant to ask questions of your data.
  • Use Skills to explore, clean, and wrangle your data.

Chart Tab​

The Chart tab allows you to create charts with the Chart Builder, and displays them grouped by their associated dataset.

The Data Assistant offers a simple, chat-based interface where you can enter freeform questions about your data and leverage generative AI to produce insights.
