Quick-Start Guide to Creating Views
This page provides a high-level guide to building kdb Insights Enterprise Views.
The steps to building Views are listed below.
Create database and pipeline
Before you can build your Views you must create and deploy a database to store data and a pipeline to import data into the database. You can then add this data to components on your view.
Create a View
To create a view:
-
On the Overview page in the Views tab click Create New , or use one of the other methods described here.
In the Create View dialog, enter a name for the view, select the package it belongs to, and optionally add Tags.
Add and configure a component
-
Click and drag a component from the list of icons on the left of the workspace, into the center as shown in the following animation. The first component, Data Grid, is a good one to start with.
-
Open the Data editor by clicking Click to populate Data Source inside the selected component.
-
Click New to add a new data source.

You can format the data inside the component; adding colors, highlight rules, actions and/or filters.
