How It Works

From raw columns to shared understanding

Step by step — exactly what happens under the hood.

01
Automatic generation

When you upload a dataset, DataLens creates a dictionary entry for every column — with inferred type, sample values and statistics.

02
AI-suggested definitions

The AI engine suggests plain-language definitions for each column based on the column name and sample data. Accept or edit.

03
Add business context

Layer in business definitions, acceptable value ranges, PII flags and data owner assignments.

04
Tag and categorise

Tag columns (e.g. "financial", "customer", "derived") for discoverability and governance reporting.

05
Share and access

Dictionary is available to all workspace members. Acts as living documentation — always current.

Why It Matters

Built for real workflows

Not just a feature — a step change in how your team works with data.

Benefit 01
Eliminate "what does this column mean?"

Definitions live alongside the data. No more hunting through Confluence or emailing the data team.

Benefit 02
PII and sensitivity flagging

Mark sensitive columns explicitly. Feeds directly into access control and governance reporting.

Benefit 03
AI-accelerated

AI generates first-draft definitions you review and approve — not write from scratch.
