Create a Workbench
Workbench allows you to explore and query your data sources visually — no SQL required. Build queries with drag & drop, apply filters and aggregations, and export results to Excel.
Key features:
- Visual query builder: drag fields to build queries without writing SQL. Suitable for both technical and non-technical users.
- Aggregations and filters: apply functions (
SUM,AVG,COUNT...), cuts, sorting, and pagination directly from the UI. - Export results: download query results in Excel format for further analysis.
How to create one
- Navigate to the file explorer on the left sidebar.
- Click the "+" button (or right-click) to open the resource creation menu.
- Select Workbench from the list of available resource types.
- Give it a meaningful name — it will appear in your current directory.
tip
A Workbench requires at least one data source configured in your project. Make sure you have one before creating a Workbench.
Managing your Workbench
Like any other resource in MINEO, a Workbench supports the following actions from the file explorer context menu:
- Favorite — pin it for quick access
- Clone — duplicate it with its current configuration
- Export / Import — share it across projects
- Rename / Move / Delete — organize it in your directory
Next steps
Once created, open your Workbench to start building queries. See the Overview page for a detailed guide on the query interface.
