How data flows through Resplendent

Section titled “How data flows through Resplendent”

Here’s the basic pipeline:

Integrations → Datasets → Modified/Joined Datasets → Widgets → Dashboards
  1. Integrations pull data from your external apps and databases
  2. Datasets are the raw tables from those integrations
  3. Modified Datasets let you filter and transform data without changing the source
  4. Joined Datasets combine data from multiple sources into one view
  5. Widgets display your data as charts, tables, or metrics
  6. Dashboards organize widgets into shareable views
