Introduction to the Data Hub

What is the Data Hub?

The Data Hub surfaces the data you’ve connected to Simon through our schema builder. In the Data Hub, you can view and update dataset field descriptions and adjust whether you want the field to be available in content.

The Data Hub is in beta, and we are eager for feedback on features you’d like to see. If you have any ideas, please submit a Product Feedback ticket through the Support Center.

The Data Hub is accessible via your left navigation bar.

Dataset Fields

Currently, the Data Hub surfaces insights and allows you to perform actions on your dataset fields.

InsightPurpose
Field NameDatabase name of the field
SourceThe name of the table or dataset from which the field originates
TypeThe data type associated with the field
DescriptionA concise summary of what the data represents.

In addition to these insights, we allow you to select whether you want a field available as content for personalization within flows.

Data Descriptions

Data descriptions can be generated from three sources:

  • GenAI: Leveraging Snowflake Cortex, we create a data field description for you.
  • Snowflake: If you’re a Snowflake customer, we import any descriptions you’ve saved in Snowflake.
  • Custom: For users who want to enter their description from the Simon application or edit AI-generated descriptions.

Editing Your Data Hub

To make edits to your Data Descriptions source, or whether you want a field available a content, do the following:

  1. Click Edit Fields.
  2. Make desired edits.
  3. Hit save.
Descriptions can be beneficial when a field name doesn't clarify its purpose.
