Spotlight

Spotlight is a suite of features designed to put Metrics front and center. It simplifies data exploration, making it easy for business users to focus on metrics without dealing with complex tables or time dimensions.

The Spotlight features are currently in beta.

We’re actively testing and improving them — some of the functionality might be subject to change.

Getting Started

Spotlight features use your existing Lightdash semantic layer and metrics definitions, so you can get started today. Head to Metrics in the navigation bar to start exploring.

Spotlight is organized into two main views:

• Catalog — A searchable, filterable table of all your project metrics. Browse metrics by category, owner, or popularity, explore any metric over time in the Metrics Explorer, and curate what your business users see through .yml configuration.

• Canvas — A freeform workspace where you can drag metrics onto a canvas and draw connections between them to visualize metric trees, hierarchies, and dependencies.

Catalog

Browse, explore, and curate your metrics in the Metrics Catalog.

Canvas

Visualize metric relationships and dependencies in the Canvas view.
