Setup Process

  1. Select your data warehouse — Choose from the supported platforms above based on your infrastructure.
  2. Configure credentials — Follow the platform-specific guide to create a service account or user with read-only access.
  3. Connect in ClarityQ — Enter your connection details in the setup wizard. ClarityQ will validate the connection automatically.
The setup wizard walks you through each step. Most connections take under 10 minutes to configure.

​
What Happens After You Connect

Once connected, the wizard directs you to the Table Catalog, where you add the tables you want ClarityQ to use. Table selection and mandatory filters are configured from the Table Catalog — see Setting Up Your Table Catalog for the full walkthrough.
