Introduction to Contour
Learn how to conduct basic point-and-click dataset analysis in Foundry using Contour.
Contour provides a point-and-click user interface to perform data analysis on tables at scale. These analyses can be used to create interactive dashboards that allow others to explore and investigate the data in a guided, structured way.
Key features of Contour include:
- Visualize, filter, and transform data without code.
- Organize complex analyses into analytical paths.
- Parameterize analyses to easily switch between different views of the data and results.
- Create interactive dashboards to share findings.
- Save analysis results as a new dataset for use in other Foundry tools.
- Leverage Contour expression language for more advanced transformations and aggregations.
This tutorial offers an introduction to analysis and visualization in the Contour application. After this session, you should feel comfortable analyzing large datasets with filters, transformations and visualizations.
