Configuring the database metadata can be done within the Exago Admin Console. These bullets detail the terms used in Exago that are consistently referred to in both the guides and the application.
- Data Source refers to a database or similar programmable file which provides data to the application.
- Tables, views, functions, and procedures are stored as Data Objects (also called Entities) within Exago which can then be connected using Joins.
- Exago can automatically discover metadata from most traditional data sources
Data Sources
Add a data source by entering the Admin Console

Multiple Data Objects and joins can be created at once via Exago’s Automatic Database Discovery tools.
See the Data Objects article for instructions on how to create Data Objects from a Data Source and how to use the Automatic Database Discovery tools.
