Shooju is your company's data platform. Your data remains your asset, and we provide the infrastructure to maintain and leverage it effectively.
In this page you will find a high-level summary of our platform's structure and workflow.
Series
Shooju stores all data as Series.
- Fields — Labels and corresponding values with information about the series.
- Points (optional) — Date-based numbers.
Series are found and fetched through
Queries
Series are accessed using SjQL Queries.
Queries are built around the fields of a series. SjQL uses propositional logic with very simple syntax to search for series:
Queries may be structured or unstructured:
Query Type | Example | Notes |
Unstructured | Canada GDP | Accessible syntax. Best for general browsing, but slow. |
Structured | country=Canada aspect=GDP | More rigid syntax. Results are more accurate and faster to retrieve. |
Views
Shooju provides its own dashboarding capabilities through Views.
Existing views can be searched in the Views based on name or the path where they have been saved.
If you have administrative rights, you are also allowed to create and manage views.
A view is made up of widgets, which can be of four types:
- Display — Visualizing data
- Filter — Selecting subsets of data
- Viz Control — Controlling display widgets
- Custom — HTML+CSS elements that offer full configurability for particular uses not covered by others e.g. embedding elements from other sources.
