Overview
An introduction to Kogenta Connect and how the platform works.
Kogenta Connect is an analytics platform that lets you connect to your data, build transformation workflows, and create interactive dashboards with maps, charts, and tables.
What you can do
- Query your data using SQL-based workflows that pull from connected databases
- Upload files like CSV and TSV to use as data layers
- Build dashboards with interactive map visualizations, charts, tables, and filter controls
- Share insights by generating public links to your dashboards
- Automate refreshes with scheduled data updates on an hourly, daily, or weekly basis
- Enrich your data with spatial analysis tools like buffer zones and isochrones
Platform data flow
The platform is built around a clear data pipeline:
Data Sources → Data Layers → Workflows → Dashboards-
Data Sources are connections to external databases like Snowflake, BigQuery, PostgreSQL, and more. These are configured for your organization by the Kogenta team.
-
Data Layers are the data assets available to you. They come from two sources: tables and views exposed through your data source connections, or files you upload directly (CSV, TSV).
-
Workflows are where you write SQL to query, transform, and combine data. A workflow can contain multiple queries that execute in sequence, accept input parameters, and apply spatial enrichments.
-
Dashboards are the visualization layer. They reference one or more workflows and display results through widgets - map layers, charts, data tables, metric cards, and filter controls.
