Datameer prides itself on having a powerful user interface (UI) that is easy to navigate. The standard navigation tabs for data analysts are the File Browser tab and the App Market. From these pages, you can accomplish all your analytic needs,and find useful applications to help you with your work. You can also open new tabs of different workbooks, infographics, or other workspaces to switch between them easily. Let's take a quick look at each of these navigation tabs.
File Browser
The File Browser tab lists your connections, imports, exports, file uploads, workbooks, infographics, and apps. Use this tab to bring in information to Datameer and then analyze that data. If you click the + (plus) button, you can open a new workspace tab. The browser on the left side works as a file tree. The center of the screen lists all the artifacts inside of a selected file. The right side of the screen has an information box where you can find information on files and artifacts as well as how to configure sharing settings.
