Index your data

Indexing helps Vizkraft understand the structure of a supported SQL connector before your team starts deeper analysis.

​

Why indexing matters

When indexing is available for a connector, Vizkraft can:

• Read tables and columns.
• Build a summary of the database structure.
• Show indexing progress while it runs.
• Suggest important tables for business analysis.
• Generate better chart and dashboard suggestions after indexing completes.

​

Where to find indexing

1. Open Connectors.
2. Select the connector you want to work with.
3. Open Indexing.

​

What you will see on the indexing page

​

Database summary

This gives you a high-level view of the source that was connected.

​

Table list

You can review which tables Vizkraft discovered and use that list to confirm the source looks correct.

​

Progress tracking

If indexing is in progress, you can monitor status directly from the page instead of guessing whether the job is still running.

​

Important tables

If your schema is large, use the important tables workflow to steer Vizkraft toward the tables that matter most to your business users.

​

View the database schema

The schema viewer gives you a more complete look at the indexed source, including CREATE TABLE statements and sample records.

​

Inspect a table in detail

From the table list, open a table like campaigns to review the fields Vizkraft discovered and understand how the source is structured.

Sample data

When suggested content appears

Suggested charts and suggested dashboards are tied to connector analysis. In practice:

1. Add the connector.
2. Run indexing.
3. Wait for Vizkraft to prepare suggestions.
4. Review them in Charts and Dashboards.

If you do not see suggestions immediately, give indexing time to finish and then refresh those library pages.

​

When to re-index

Re-index when:

• New tables or columns were added to the source.
• A connector was changed or replaced.
• Chat answers are missing newly available data.
• Suggested charts and dashboards no longer reflect the current schema.

​

Tips for better results

• Start with the connector your team will use most often.
• Review the discovered tables before asking broad business questions.
• Mark important tables when your warehouse contains many raw or system tables.
• Re-index after meaningful schema changes so Vizkraft stays current.

Next step

Once indexing is complete, continue to Ask questions.
