Data Studio : Business intelligence on governed data.
Datasets, charts and dashboards with the access rules built in. Pick data, ask a question, pin the answer - and the same chart shows each reader only the rows they are allowed to see.
What it does
Data Studio, point by point.
Never more than two steps
Pick a dataset, ask a question in words or by pressing fields. The chart is there; pin it to a dashboard.
Governed at the source
Four roles - viewer, analyst, editor, owner - with row policies and column masks. A reader cannot get around them with a clever query.
The platform's data, and yours
Lists, apps, processes and the cartable are sources already. Add PostgreSQL, MySQL, files and uploads beside them.
Dashboards people arrange
Tiles on a grid, filters across them, pivots for people who want to turn the data over.
Charts that travel
A chart can sit in an Office document, an app, a chat message or a person's Home - and still obeys its reader's access.
Alerts and a record
An alert watches a number and tells people when it crosses a line. Every query is recorded: who asked which dataset.
Getting started
Three steps in.
- Open Data Studio and press Ctrl+K to pick a dataset.
- Ask a question, or drag fields to draw a chart.
- Pin it to a dashboard and share the dashboard.
Questions
What people ask about Data Studio.
Can analysts write SQL?
Yes, over governed views: the policies and masks apply to a hand-written query exactly as they do to a chart.
Where does the analysis run?
In an analytical engine on your own server. Data does not leave it to be charted.
