Connectors screen

The Connectors screen allows you to manage all connected systems — including data sources, notification channels, and data catalogs.


(1) Navigation options

You can switch between three connector types:

  1. Data sources – Connect databases, warehouses, files, and storage

  2. Channels – Manage communication and workflow integrations (e.g. Microsoft Teams)

  3. Catalogs – Integrate metadata tools like Alation


(2) Data sources overview

Each connected data source is listed with:

  • Source name and icon

  • Number of associated tables

  • Status (e.g., Loaded)

  • Created at timestamp

  • Actions via the “...” menu (resync, edit, or delete)


(3) Add new data source

Click "Add data source" to connect a new:

  • Database (e.g. PostgreSQL, Snowflake)

  • Cloud warehouse

  • Blob/File storage (e.g. Azure Blob, S3)

  • Static file (CSV, Excel, etc.)


(4) Channels overview

The Channels tab shows integrated communication tools. Each entry includes:

  • Name and type of channel

  • Actions via “...” (edit or delete)


(5) Add new channel

Click "Add channel" to connect:

  • Microsoft Teams Bot

  • Microsoft Teams Workflow

  • Microsoft Graph


(6) Catalogs overview

In the Catalogs tab, you can see integrated metadata catalogs (e.g., Alation). Each row shows:

  • Name of the connected catalog

  • Edit/Delete via the “...” menu


(7) Add new catalog

Click "Add data catalog" to set up a new integration — such as linking to Alation or other metadata systems.


undefined Notes

  • Data sources are the backbone of data quality checks — each table must come from a connected source

  • Channels ensure users are notified where they already work (e.g. Teams)

  • Metadata catalogs enrich DQ visibility across your data governance tools

  • All connectors can be edited, resynced, or removed as needed
