Find and Inspect Data in the Data Catalog
The Data Catalog is an owner-only view of MiniUp datasets across your Sites. Use it to find existing Table APIs, Parquet, GeoParquet, and ArcGIS-compatible layers before creating or uploading duplicate data.
Find a dataset
- Open Dashboard → Data Catalog.
- Search by name, slug, Site, or type.
- Filter by dataset type, access, or geometry availability.
- Review the dataset’s parent Site, row count, fields, update information, and access summary.
- Select Preview / Schema / Profile to inspect the dataset.
Understand schema, samples, and profiles
The schema lists the actual field names and types to use in queries. A sample shows a bounded selection of rows; it is not the complete dataset. A profile summarizes available shape and quality information. Verify the exact fields and values before asking an AI to generate charts or join datasets.
Build from an existing dataset
Choose Build app with this dataset or Add to bundle to begin creating explicit approved context. Use Access settings to inspect or change the underlying dataset’s sharing policy. Refresh the catalog after publishing new data if it is not yet visible.
Example: reuse a sales Table
Search for sales, inspect its schema to confirm region and revenue, then select it for a Dataset Bundle. Tell the AI to use those exact fields rather than inventing columns.
Access and troubleshooting
Catalog visibility does not make data public. Owner-only, key-protected, or unavailable datasets may be unsuitable for a public app. An empty search can mean there are no matching owned datasets or that filters are too narrow. Clear filters and check the source Site.
