User Interface¶
The DataForge UI is the primary interface for configuring sources, outputs, connections, and all other platform objects. Everything is accessible from the collapsible navigation menu on the left.
For a full tour of every page and its features, see Navigation and Interface.
Sources — Tab Overview¶
Sources are the central container in DataForge. Each source has one logical data flow and contains the following tabs:
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Settings | Connection, refresh type, schedule, and processing parameters |
| Raw Schema | Metadata for ingested raw attributes, including data profiles |
| Dependencies | Other sources this source depends on |
| Relations | Cross-source joins used in rules and output mappings |
| Rules | Enrichments (computed columns) and validations (data quality checks) |
| Inputs | Track ingestion batches and reprocess data |
| Process | Monitor the logical data flow and view logs |
| Data View | Query the source hub table in Databricks or Snowflake |
Authentication¶
Standard (SaaS) customers authenticate directly in the UI, with at least one admin user managing access. Private Enterprise customers authenticate through Auth0 — admins whitelist email domains and users sign up through the Auth0 flow.
