User basics
Learn about the key concepts and terminology that provide the foundation for the 1010data Insights Platform.
- Versions
  The 1010data Insights Platform is available in both a stable production version of the system (Prime) and a version that provides access to the latest features (Beta).
- Sessions
  A session in the 1010data Insights Platform is an established period of communication between a user and the system. A single user ID can only have one session active at a time.
- Workspace
  The workspace is an individual instance of the 1010data Insights Platform user interface.
  - Save your workspace
    Save your workspace so you can return to it later or share it with others.
  - Open a saved workspace
    Open a workspace you previously saved.
  - Add a new workspace
    Add a new workspace to your existing session.
  - Workspace Settings
    Change the appearance of your workspace and set the default options for objects.
    - Appearance
      Settings for customizing the appearance of your workspace.
    - Associations
      Settings for defining how objects behave when opened from the Object Manager.
    - Object Manager
      Settings for defining the metadata columns that appear by default in the Object Manager, as well as searchable columns.
    - Libraries
      Settings for specifying the libraries that are automatically loaded into your workspace when you log in to the 1010data Insights Platform.
    - Customize your workspace appearance
      Customize the appearance of your workspace.
    - Define object associations
      Choose how objects behave when opened from the Object Manager.
    - Select default metadata columns
      Choose the metadata columns that are displayed by default in a new Object Manager window.
    - Select search columns
      Choose the columns on which to perform a search in a new Object Manager window.
    - Specify automatically imported libraries
      Choose the libraries that are automatically loaded into your workspace when you log in to the 1010data Insights Platform.
- Virtual memory
  The quantity of data that your session can handle at the same time is determined by the amount of virtual memory assigned to your user ID.
- Rows and columns
  Within the 1010data Insights Platform, you will manipulate rows and columns to view your data and perform new computations to gain further insight into your data.
- Data types and display formats
  Data types govern how data is stored internally, and display formats control how that data is displayed.

Associations

Settings for defining how objects behave when opened from the Object Manager.

Figure 1. Associations tab in the Workspace Settings window

The Associations tab contains the following options:

Tables

This drop-down list defines where a table opens when double-clicked in the Object Manager.

Open in TRS: Double-clicking a table in the Object Manager opens the object in the Trillion-Row Spreadsheet. This is the default setting.
As base in MLW: Double-clicking a table in the Object Manager opens the object in the Macro Language Workshop as the base table.

QuickQueries

This drop-down list defines where a Quick Query/Parameterized Quick Query/legacy PQQ opens when double-clicked in the Object Manager.

Run in TRS

Opens the Quick Query in the view-only mode of the Trillion-Row Spreadsheet. If the query contains parameters, the parameter input fields and options are displayed. Otherwise, the results of the query are displayed in the grid.

The Run in TRS option is the default setting.

Run in Query Runner

Opens the query in the Query Runner window.

Open in TRS

Opens the query in the Trillion-Row Spreadsheet as the base table and displays the results of the query in the grid.

A parameterized timeline will have all steps loaded into TRS when opened. A non-parameterized timeline will have its individual operations hidden initially. To view the individual operations of the query, click Import Hidden Actions below the object browser in the Open table panel.

Edit in MLW

Double-clicking a Quick Query in the Object Manager opens the object in the Macro Language Workshop. The Macro Language Workshop displays the individual operations of the query as Macro Language XML code.

QuickApps

This drop-down list defines where a table opens when double-clicked in the Object Manager.

Open standalone: Double-clicking a QuickApp in the Object Manager opens the object as a standalone QuickApp in a new browser tab. This is the default setting.
Open in window: Double-clicking a QuickApp in the Object Manager opens the object in a window within the current workspace.
Open in MLW: Double-clicking a QuickApp in the Object Manager opens the object in the Macro Language Workshop. The Macro Language Workshop displays the individual operations of the query as Macro Language XML code.
