Choose and Use MiniUp Data Features
MiniUp data features let you host records and files, refresh data from supported sources, inspect existing datasets, and reuse approved data in applications.
Choose the right data feature
| Need | Use |
|---|---|
| Editable records and CRUD | MiniUp Tables |
| Analytical data or spatial files | Parquet & GeoParquet |
| Repeatable imports from a web source | Data Sources |
| Find and inspect datasets you own | Data Catalog |
| Approve several datasets for one AI-built app | Dataset Bundles |
| Source-backed content from PDFs | PDF Knowledge Packs |
Start a data-backed app
- Choose or create a destination MiniUp Site.
- Import a Table, publish a hosted data file, or create a Data Source snapshot.
- Inspect the schema and sample values before writing queries.
- Set the dataset access appropriate to the app’s audience.
- Copy the public usage example or create a Dataset Bundle for AI-assisted building.
- Test the published app as its intended audience.
Example: a city service map
Create an ArcGIS Data Source, select the layer and relevant fields, and publish a snapshot into a Site. Inspect its geometry in the catalog, then build a map using the hosted dataset. Refresh the snapshot when you need updated source data.
Keep data access explicit
A dataset has a source Site and its own access policy. A catalog entry or bundle does not automatically grant public access. Review dataset sharing when using data across Sites.
