The Data page is where you view and manage your tables and catalog. Browse your connected data, create new tables with SQL, and enrich your catalog so Addison better understands your data.
Source tables
Source tables represent data from your connections — warehouses, databases, uploaded files, and more. They’re read-only and reflect the data as it exists in the source.

Calc tables
Calc tables are custom tables you create using SQL. Use them to combine, filter, or reshape your source data into the format you need for analysis.
-- Example: monthly revenue summary
SELECT
DATE_TRUNC('month', order_date) AS month,
region,
SUM(revenue) AS total_revenue
FROM source_orders
GROUP BY 1, 2

Catalog
The catalog describes your data — table names, column definitions, and business context. It has two layers:
- Automatic — populated when you connect a data source. Includes column names, types, and source information.
- Enriched — descriptions, business definitions, and context. Generated by AI and editable by you.
The catalog powers Addison’s understanding of your data. The more complete your catalog, the better Addison’s results.

Editing the catalog
You can edit catalog entries to add or correct:
- Table descriptions — what the table contains and when to use it
- Column definitions — what each field means, including example values
- Relationships — how tables connect to each other
Views
Views let you reshape a table’s presentation with filtering, grouping, and cross-tabulation — without creating a new table.
