Overview of this book

Domo is a power-packed business intelligence (BI) platform that empowers organizations to track, analyze, and activate data in record time at cloud scale and performance. Data Democratization with Domo begins with an overview of the Domo ecosystem. You’ll learn how to get data into the cloud with Domo data connectors and Workbench; profile datasets; use Magic ETL to transform data; work with in-memory data sculpting tools (Data Views and Beast Modes); create, edit, and link card visualizations; and create card drill paths using Domo Analyzer. Next, you’ll discover options to distribute content with real-time updates using Domo Embed and digital wallboards. As you advance, you’ll understand how to use alerts and webhooks to drive automated actions. You’ll also build and deploy a custom app to the Domo Appstore and find out how to code Python apps, use Jupyter Notebooks, and insert R custom models. Furthermore, you’ll learn how to use Auto ML to automatically evaluate dozens of models for the best fit using SageMaker and produce a predictive model as well as use Python and the Domo Command Line Interface tool to extend Domo. Finally, you’ll learn how to govern and secure the entire Domo platform. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained the skills you need to become a successful Domo master.

Creating card drill paths

Let's go through some scenarios where we use card drill paths to better understand sales performance. As is normally the case, before we get to cards, we need to do some data sculpting work. The following steps will update the opportunity data to include regional data:

  1. We need to update the Opportunity CH4 dataset to include a Region column and some additional date dimension columns. Download the Opportunity CH7.xlsx worksheet as the data update source from https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Data-Democratization-with-Domo/blob/1a56847225e2226ceb6caaa8da339e621f6b26e1/Opportunity%20CH7.xlsx.
  2. On the Sales dashboard, double-click to open the Sales Attainment card. Scroll down to see the card footer and click on the Opportunity CH4 link at the lower left of the screen.
  3. Click on the SETTINGS tab, then click browse your files in the Details panel, and select the Opportunity CH7.xlsx worksheet from where you downloaded it.
  4. In the Select Tables...
