Surfaces
Quick check
- Can you access the surface? (permissions)
- Is a connection linked?
- Is data flowing through that connection?
Common issues
Surface not found / 404 - renamed, deleted, or wrong workspace. Check the workspace's surfaces.
Can't access - access is at the workspace level; if you can see it but not open it, ask an admin for the right role.
No data - the linked connection isn't receiving, or the time window is off. Confirm the connection
is "Connected" and try ProductData | where Timestamp > ago(7d) | take 10.
Linking connections
A surface needs at least one connection; it can take several and query across them.
| Mistake | Looks like | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| no connection linked | no data | link a connection |
| wrong connection | wrong data | check the mapping |
| many connections | confusing source | use table names to tell them apart |
Working with surfaces
- Create by hand or ask Azi ("create a surface for signups"); Azi proposes, you approve.
- Name clearly (e.g.
growth-metrics,product-events); one per area or use case.
Ask Azi: "Why can't I see data in my surface?" See Surfaces.
