Explore the catalog

Use Catalog to discover the data FastBI can see. After creating or updating a connection, wait for its catalog synchronization before checking tables.

Find the right data

Locate the connection and inspect relevant datasets, schemas, and tables. Check column names and types before asking a question or writing SQL. Similar table names can represent different periods, environments, or levels of detail.

When a table is missing

Confirm that you selected the intended organization and connection. Check source permissions and synchronize again after changing them. Discovery only includes data available to the connection’s credentials.

Catalog metadata describes available data; synchronization does not necessarily copy source rows into FastBI. See Lake for data stored in FastBI and Jobs for scheduled ingestion.
