Choosing the Right Pane

Match the job in front of you to the pane, panel, or console that owns it.

  • Familiarity with the Tamaat shell

Each pane owns a distinct job. Here's the job, and where to do it.

Three rules that settle most calls

  1. Data you want to look at goes in Data Store; files that feed a flow go in Files. Uploading to Files doesn't create a dataset — use "Add dataset", or read the file in an ETL flow.
  2. You build in the panes and publish to Server. Schedules, going live, and consumer keys all live on Tamaat Server.
  3. Tamaat AI is a panel, not a pane. It opens over Maps and answers from your open project. See Assistant Scope.
