How to inspect project data using the select columns and test filters

T
Written by Tyrone Marhguy

Now that you have added your source data into your project, Aragorn provides an intuitive interface where you can inspect, select, view, and filter data to ensure it was correctly loaded and added before using it in an integration. This allows you to verify that the necessary records and fields are available, identify any missing or incorrect data, and refine the dataset as needed.

Including and Excluding Columns from your view

By default, Aragorn displays only a subset of columns from your source data. During the time you are inspecting your data, you can choose to select more columns that you want to display.

  1. Locate the “Project Columns” section at the right of the table.

  2. Click on any field in the list of columns to bring into the table

  3. Toggle the eye icon to open or close to show or hide specific columns in the data table on the left

For example, If you're only interested in c_job_title and c_is_supervisor, you can click on those two closed eye icon to reveal the data for those fields in the table while keeping the others hidden.

Filtering data with test filters

If you want to inspect specific subsets of data, you can use the Search Filters feature.

  1. Click the Search Filters button.​

  2. A filter panel will open where you can set conditions based on column values.

  3. Click the Add filter button.

  4. Select a field to filter by (e.g., is_terminated to find active or terminated employees).

  5. You can also use the search box at the top to easily find and select the filed you want.

When inspecting your source data, you can refine your dataset by applying filters to display only the records that match specific conditions. This helps you focus on relevant data, identify missing values, and ensure accuracy before integration.

Choosing a filter condition

You can apply filters using different conditions to customize your data view. Available conditions include:

  1. = (is) - Example: is_terminated = true to show only terminated employees.

  2. ≠ (is not) - Example: is_terminated ≠ true to show only active employees.

  3. > (greater than) - Example: salary > 50000 to show employees earning more than 50,000.

  4. >= (greater than or equal to) - Example: salary >= 50000 to include employees earning 50,000 or more.

  5. < (less than) - Example: salary < 50000 to show employees earning less than 50,000.

  6. <= (less than or equal to) - Example: salary <= 50000 to include employees earning 50,000 or less.

  7. <Empty> (is empty) - Show only records where a specific field has no value.

  8. ≠ <Empty> (is not empty) - Show only records where a specific field contains a value.

Click the Test filters button to test your filters.

Adding Multiple Filters

You can combine multiple filters using the AND operator to refine your data further. For example:

  • is_terminated = false AND salary > 60000. This filter will display only active employees with a salary greater than 60,000.

Click "Add Another" to keep adding filters as needed.
