play_circle Video Walkthrough

Step 1: Create a New Databook

You can create a databook from either the Start Page or the Folders Page.

1. Click Add on the ribbon.
2. Select Databook.
3. Enter a name.
4. Add a description if it will help other users understand the purpose.

Result: Clarity opens an empty databook page that is ready for table creation.

Step 2: Add Tables to Your Databook

Use the New Table button on the bottom tab ribbon to add the first table.

• Blank Table creates a custom table from scratch.
• Import Table starts the import flow from an external source.

Step 3: Import Tables from External Sources

1. Select the source system, such as a Fabric semantic model.
2. Browse the available tables and choose the table you want to import.
3. Review every column before you proceed.

For each column, you can:

• Include or exclude the column.
• Modify the data type.
• Designate the key column.
• Generate new columns if the imported structure needs additional fields.

When the configuration looks right, click Proceed.

Step 4: Name and Configure Your Table

1. Enter the table name.
2. Add a description if the table needs extra business context.
3. Choose one of the final import options:

• Create Table Structure Only if you need the schema without data.
• Create Table and Import Data if you want both schema and data in one step.

Step 5: Validate Data

1. Click Validate.
2. Review any errors or inconsistencies.
3. Resolve issues if the validation result shows them.
4. Click Save to finalize the table.

Result: The imported table is immediately available in the databook.

Step 6: Repeat for Additional Tables

Return to the databook page, click New Table, select a different source table, and repeat the same import and validation steps. Imported tables remain organized together inside the databook.
