Your First Search
It’s easy to instantly analyze your data with Search.
To see sales by department, type: sales, department
Easy, right?
Now, let’s do a new search.
The first thing we’ll do
is make sure you have the right data source selected,
by clicking on the data sources icon.
A data source is a collection of data fields
that you use for analysis.
Select the “Choose Sources” button.
Let’s select one of the Worksheets,
and expand it to see what fields are available.
Once expanded, you’ll see a list of fields
and can hover over them to see descriptions.
To add data to our Search,
either start typing or double-click on the fields themselves,
like department and sales.
Now, let’s see how our data varies over time
by typing: weekly, last 3 months
into the search bar.
ThoughtSpot automatically recognizes some basic keyword definitions
that we’ve just used in this example, like weekly.
A complete keyword reference list
can always be found under Help,
or you can bookmark the link provided below.
When you search, ThoughtSpot automatically displays your result
with the most relevant visualization,
such as a table or chart.
You can toggle between these two modes,
and you can easily alter the visualization
by selecting the customization options on the right.
Now you try.
Take a look at your available data sources
or do a basic search.
