Explorer View (Dataset Level)

The Explorer view in Max enables users to query a dataset using plain English. This interface translates natural language questions into SQL, runs the query on the connected data source, and displays the results for easy interpretation.

How It Works

  1. Enter a Natural Language Question
    Type your question into the Natural Language Question box. For example:
    "What were sales by month in 2022?"

  2. Click Run
    Max will:

    • Interpret your question.
    • Generate SQL.
    • Execute it against the selected dataset.
    • Present the result in the Preview section.

Preview Tabs

  • Data: Displays the final output of the SQL query in a table.
  • Rendered Prompt: Shows how Max interpreted and structured your question.
  • Explanation: Describes the generated SQL in plain English.
  • SQL: Reveals the exact SQL code executed.
  • Visualization: Offers a graphical representation of the results (when applicable).

Saving Examples

If the results look good, click Add to Examples to save the interaction. These examples help Max learn and improve future responses by associating questions with high-quality SQL patterns.

Chat Integration

The Data Explorer skill uses this same capability within the Chat interface, allowing users to explore their data conversationally with the same natural language-to-SQL experience.
