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 [#find-it-on-the-care-flows-data-catalog-tab]

Open the care flow and go to its **Data catalog** tab.

## Every data point, with the source it came from [#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-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.
