Workspace reference

The workspace opens at /data-hub for a service, reached with Open Data Hub from the module card.

Across the top

Control	What it does
Back	Returns to the service
Engine	Engine settings for the data layer
Help	The in-product help overlay
Connections n	The connections tab, with a count
Links n	The relationship canvas, with a count
Views n	Saved views, with a count

Connections tab

The sidebar lists what this service is linked to.

Control	What it does
+	Opens the Add Connection wizard
Sources n	Connections created or linked by hand
Form Tables n	The generated connection built from this service’s forms
Search connections	Filters the list
Delete	Removes a connection from the workspace

Each connection shows a status dot, its name, its type, and the colour set when it was created.

Selecting one shows its header — name, type, Online or Offline, and Edit — and its tables.

Control	What it does
Enable / Disable	Exposes or hides one table for this service
Show All / Hide All	Applies to every table at once

Table explorer

Selecting an exposed table opens it on the right.

Control	What it does
Cache settings	How fresh this dataset should be
Refresh	Re-reads the table, ignoring the cache
Export	Downloads the current result, filters included
Search all columns	Free-text filter across everything
Sort by	Orders the results
Columns n/n	Chooses which columns are shown
Column types	Shows the type of each column
Type history	How column types have changed over time
Rows	Page size — 25, 50, 100, or 250
+ Add column filter	Builds a condition on one column

Above the grid, Quick Stats gives row count, column count, and when the data was last read, and a line states the cache behaviour in plain terms.

Writeback Lab

At the bottom of the explorer, for changing data rather than reading it. It carries a Supported badge when the connector allows writeback.

Control	What it does
Insert Template	Generates an INSERT for this table
Update Template	Generates an UPDATE
Delete Template	Generates a DELETE
Unified mutation SQL	The statement, with named parameters
Parameters	A JSON object supplying the values

Links tab

Control	What it does
Undo / Redo	Steps through canvas changes
+ / −	Zoom
Reset View	Returns to the default position and zoom
Auto Layout	Arranges the table cards

Auto-Detect Links	Proposes relationships from the sources
Commit n	Saves pending changes, with a count
OVERVIEW	A minimap of the canvas

Views tab

Control	What it does
History	Previous versions of the views
Save	Saves pending changes
+	Starts the view wizard
Search views	Filters the list

Each view shows its name, its version, and a LIVE badge once saved.

The Create a Custom View wizard runs in four steps: Select Data, Choose Fields, Filter & Sort, and Name & Save.

Add Connection wizard

Three modes across the top.

Mode	What it is for
Data Sources	Databases and services from the connector catalogue
File Upload	A CSV, XLSX, or XLS file up to 50 MB
External API	A guided flow for API-backed sources

Under Data Sources, connectors are grouped as Self Hosted, Cloud, and Custom, and Link Existing lists platform sources you can attach without creating anything.

The connection form itself carries the connector’s fields plus a Connection Name, a Connection Color, Advanced refresh settings, and two buttons: Test Connection and Create & Link.

Connector catalogue lists what each connector needs. Permissions covers which of these controls need elevated access.
