Data catalog
The overview of every data point a care flow collects, where to find it, and what it shows.
The data catalog lists every data point registered in a care flow, in one place.
It answers "what does this care flow actually collect", which gets hard once a flow has a few dozen forms and calculations in it.
Find it on the care flow's Data catalog tab
Open the care flow and go to its Data catalog tab.
Every data point, with the source it came from
Each entry names its source: a form question, a baseline data point, an API call response, or a system-generated value such as a calculation result or a step completion time.
Confirming keys, spotting duplication, checking consistency
- Confirming a key when configuring conditional logic or a variable.
- Spotting duplication. The same real-world value collected twice under two names is easy to create and hard to notice anywhere else.
- Checking consistency before go-live, especially across forms built by different people.
Duplication is why the catalog is worth a care flow author's time as much as an engineer's.
