Choose key tables

Key tables identify the database tables to include in SeekWell’s analysis context. Start with the tables that hold your core business facts and the dimensions needed to interpret them, such as orders, customers, and products.

Table selection does not replace database permissions. Keep the connected database identity’s access aligned with the data your team should use.

Select tables during setup​

  1. After the connection test succeeds, review Select key tables.
  2. Search for table names. When multiple schemas are available, use the schema filter to narrow the list.
  3. Select the tables you want to include. Review the selection count in the footer.
  4. Use Selected to review the saved and newly selected tables together, and remove any you do not need.
  5. Select Save source to save your choices and return to Sources.

Choose tables explicitly; connecting a database does not automatically select all its tables. You can save an empty selection and return later to add tables.

Update an existing selection​

In Sources, open the source menu and select Edit Key Tables. Add or remove tables, review Selected, and select Save source. Changes take effect only after you save.

Search and schema filters help you find tables without clearing choices made elsewhere in the list. Clear selection removes the current choices from the draft; save only when you intend to keep that change.

Refresh discovery​

Select Refresh tables after adding tables to your database or changing metadata permissions. Wait for discovery to finish before saving or requesting another refresh.

If discovery fails, review the error and retry. Existing saved choices remain available for review. A table that is no longer discoverable can still appear in Selected, where you can remove it if it is no longer needed.

If no tables appear, check the database configuration and metadata permissions. Refreshing cannot grant access that the connected identity does not have.

Viewing tables requires permission to view sources and destinations. Saving a selection requires permission to manage them.

Next, add company context to explain what your tables and metrics mean.
