Create Your First Project

Projects organize your data sources, dashboards, and team members.

After signing in, click "New Project" from your dashboard. Give your project a name and description. Projects help you organize related data sources and dashboards together.

Connect a Data Source

Connect to your data warehouse or database.

Navigate to your project and click "Add Data Source". Select your database type (PostgreSQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, etc.) and enter your connection credentials. Lucaro will test the connection and scan your schema.

-- Example: Lucaro will discover tables like
SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_schema = 'public';

Define Your First Metric

Create a metric in your registry for consistent analytics.

Go to the Metrics Registry and click "New Metric". Define your metric with a name, description, and SQL expression. Metrics ensure everyone uses the same definitions across all dashboards.

-- Example metric definition
name: monthly_revenue
description: Total revenue for the current month
expression: SUM(amount) WHERE date >= DATE_TRUNC('month', CURRENT_DATE)

Create Your First Dashboard

Build a dashboard using your metrics and data.

Click "New Dashboard" and use the drag-and-drop builder to add visualizations. Select metrics from your registry or write custom queries. Lucaro automatically suggests the best chart types for your data.

Invite Your Team

Collaborate with your team members.

Go to Project Settings and click "Invite Members". Enter email addresses and assign roles (Viewer, Editor, Admin). Team members will receive an invitation email to join your project.
