DATTA BI — Documentation
DATTA BI is the DATTA platform's self-serve Business Intelligence: dashboards, data models, maps, statistical analysis and automatic dataset refresh — all on top of the sources already connected to DATTA, with no external tool and no data movement. This page is the index of the DATTA BI guides.

First steps
- Log in to the DATTA console.
- Open — or go straight to
/dattabi.html. - Create a Workspace and a Connection. Automatic cataloging discovers the Datasets for you.
- Create a Dashboard and drag visuals from the side palette (on the left), binding Dataset columns to the channels: X, Y, Series, Label and Value.
- Before configuring your own, browse the Charts Gallery (
/dattabi-charts-demo.html) for illustrative examples of each visual.
How DATTA BI fits the platform standards
| Standard | How it shows up in DATTA BI |
|---|---|
| Cache (Project Guidelines §1) | Each dashboard render is cached for 5 minutes, under the datta:dattabi:render:<chartId>:<filterHash> key |
| Material Design 3 (§3) | Components reuse the theme's --md-* CSS variables — light and dark, desktop and mobile |
| OpenTelemetry (§11) | The frontend (datta-fe-dattabi) propagates traceparent on every fetch() call |
| RBAC (§13) | Operations require DATTABI_VIEW, DATTABI_EDIT or MASKING_CONFIGURE |
| Breadcrumbs (§18) | Every DATTA BI page uses the same breadcrumb component |
Note about earlier documents
This index consolidates references that used to be scattered across DATTABI — User Guide (legacy), DATTABI — User Guide and DATTABI Copilot — System Prompt (F11). Those files still exist as history, but they converge here — always start from this page.
