Create Datastore

Users can also create a new Data Store on the top of a Data Sandbox using the Create Datastore option.

A Data Store is a curated, structured, and reusable data asset created from a prepared dataset inside the Data Sandbox. It converts an ad-hoc uploaded file into an enterprise-quality, governed data asset that can be consumed reliably by BI dashboards, Data Agents, AI/ML models, and downstream pipelines.

  • Avoid repeated manual cleaning and transformation

  • Provide consistent data access for analytics and reporting

  • Maintain traceability, version control, and metadata management

  • Accelerate Data Agent and AI/ML use cases with clean structured data
