Browsing the catalog
Move through warehouses, namespaces, and tables in the portal Data Catalog.
Open Data Catalog — anyone can, it is not gated by a feature permission.
What you see is yours
The catalog lists data with your identity, so it shows only the warehouses, namespaces and tables you have been granted; an empty catalog means no grants, not a fault. With no access it shows No rights yet and a Check again button — ask an administrator, then use it once the grant is made. See data permissions.
Move through the tree
The left pane is a three-level tree:
- Warehouse — the top-level storage area. Expand for its namespaces.
- Namespace — a group of tables, the equivalent of a schema. Namespaces nest; a nested one is
written with dots, like
sales.eu.raw, and shows as folders within folders. - Table — a single tabular. Select it to open its detail pane.
Selecting a warehouse or namespace also opens a detail pane, because each level is its own permission scope. A non-Iceberg table shows a format badge and a different icon, and has no preview or schema — see Iceberg tables.
Refresh in the header reloads the tree after data changes.
Filter the tree
The Search field above the tree filters warehouses, namespaces and tables as you type; clear it
to see everything again. This is not the portal’s ⌘K search — Search filters the current tree,
⌘K searches the whole portal. See search with ⌘K.
