Data apps

When to use a data app vs. a chart

Use a chart for a single visualization answering a specific question. Use a data app for an interactive experience with filters, controls, or multiple views.

Starting from a template

Click the Data apps button below the prompt box to open the template picker. It has two tabs: Layouts (structural starting points) and Use cases (pre-built analysis templates).

Layout templates

Choose from these structural starting points:

• Top nav layout - persistent full-width navigation at the top
• Sidebar app - persistent navigation in a left sidebar
• Dashboard - top metrics, visualizations, and sections
• Slides - horizontal scrolling data story with stat reveals and narrative flow
• Micro app - single control driving a reactive chart
• Report - long-form data report with narrative text and charts

Use case templates

Pre-built analysis templates are organized by category:

• Product intelligence - Feature Usage, Flows & Drop-offs, Activation Metrics, Experiment Analysis
• Customer & team management - Customer Health, Rep Performance, Renewals, Commissions
• Revenue & retention - ARR pulse, NRR explorer, Retention cohorts, Churn analysis
• Executive dashboards - WBR/QBR Collections, KPI board, North Star Metrics, Board Snapshots
• Sales & GTM - Pipeline Manager, Lead Scoring, Territory Overview, Win/Loss Analysis
• Finance & planning - Budget vs Actual, Pricing Simulator, Root Cause Analysis, Scenario Planner
• Operational apps - Forecast Models, Opportunity Finders

Creating from scratch

You can also skip templates and ask directly:

• "Build a dashboard to explore sales by region and product"
• "Create an app with date and category filters that shows revenue and margin"

Interacting with data apps

Use the Select button in the toolbar to highlight a specific component and ask Atta to modify just that part. Use @ in the chat to reference a data app by name.
