The user can view target tables enlisted or search a particular target table in the search bar.

View Audit

The Audit captures and presents all important activities and events in the platform for auditing.

Interaction events include pipeline creation, pipeline inspection, application creation, application edit, license uploads, test-cases execution, configuration updates, connection updates, notebook creation, model validation and all other interactions possible within Gathr. The “View Audit” button available within Application dashboard shows the audit events performed on that particular application.

In the Data Pipelines Status widget you can click and view the total data pipelines, running pipelines, stopped and failed pipelines. You can also view the run history.

The user can write the logical description about the CDC application and save it. User can also upload an image in description. The description which user provides gets visible on Applications page within tile.

Custom Widgets

Four types of customized widgets can also be added in application. These are explained below:

You can add the widget by clicking on the + ADD WIDGET icon.

In this widget you can view the various operations (insert, update and delete) that were performed across the application at data pipeline level.

In order to create widget, you have to follow the below mentioned steps:

Field	Description
