Build your first real thing

Three short, opinionated guides — one per product. Each takes 15–25 minutes and ends with a working artifact you built yourself.

~15–25 min each | For: Designers with access to Lens, Weave, or Maskbits

What you need. Access to a Datanyx workspace with the matching Designer role, and a datasource already connected. If you’re on a trial, sample data is already loaded.

Lens

Reporting & visualization · About 15 minutes

Build your first dashboard with a chart and a filter, then share it.

  1. Open Lens and connect to the sample datasource.
  2. Build a custom script to define dimensions and measures.
  3. Create a bar chart using the custom script.
  4. Build a report and add the chart.
  5. Add a filter so viewers can slice by date.
  6. Share the report with a teammate.

Weave

Data integration & ETL · About 25 minutes

  2. Add a source node connected to the sample data.
  3. Add a Filter transform to keep only the rows you want.
  4. Add a custom script node for any logic.
