What it is

The Data catalog is a list of every table of data Argus holds for your workspace. For each one it shows how fresh it is, which tools fill it, how many rows it has, how long it is kept, whether it holds personal data and which duties read it.

Where to find it

Data → Data catalog.

Check that your data is fresh

1. Open Data → Data catalog. The line under the heading counts the tables, how many are stale or never synced and how many hold personal data.
2. Look at the top rows. Stale and never synced tables always come first and are marked.
3. Read the small line under the Freshness label: the age of the data and the age it should stay under.
4. For a stale table, note the tools under its name, then open Data → Connections and fix that tool.

What the columns mean

• Freshness: Fresh (synced in time), Stale (older than it should be), Never synced, or No source.
• Table: the kind of data, such as Invoices or Conversations, with the tools that fill it.
• Rows: how many rows the table holds now, and the dates of the oldest and newest.
• Coverage: Required, Optional, Warehouse (it comes from your data warehouse), Covered by warehouse, or No connector.
• Retention: Kept, or the number of days after which rows are trimmed. Hover for the rule.
• Personal data: None, Business contact (work names and addresses) or Personal.
• Last read by: the duties that read the table in the last 90 days, with rows and runs. nobody in 90 days means no duty used it.

Good to know

• The tab shows for workspace admins, people in the Operations department and Balio.
• The catalog is read only. It shows counts and names of tables, never a customer's name or address.
• Retention follows the privacy standard unless Balio set another window for a table. The policy itself is in Settings → Privacy.
• A table with many rows that nobody reads is not a problem by itself. It tells you which data no agent uses yet.
