App Connect Dashboard
Use the Airtable connector to select tables for a constellation, sync them, and build a dashboard from the resulting catalog sources.
- Open App Connect.
- Select Airtable, choose New, and enter the connection name and Personal Access Token.
- Choose Save & Test.
- Open the constellation panel and select the tables required for the dashboard.
- Assign the appropriate fact roles. The connector snapshots Airtable fields and types automatically; there is no field-type or key editor in this workflow.
- Choose Save & Sync and monitor the resulting work.
- Open a dashboard.
- Add widgets from the synced sources.
- Review filters and wait for each automatic persistence or compile indicator to finish; the dashboard has no separate Save action.
Common mistakes
Section titled “Common mistakes”Do not select every Airtable table on the first pass. Start with the tables required by the business question.
Do not ignore relationships. Linked records often explain how dashboards should group or filter data.
After the first dashboard works, add only one improvement at a time. For example, add another table, validate the widget, then add the next source. This makes constellation mistakes easier to find.
