Waaila app structure

In Waaila there are three main locations separated into tabs: My Depots, My Templates and Template Gallery. Under the tab My Depots you can work with data sources and manipulate and run tests. In the My Templates you can store prepared set of tests to use them easily on other properties. In the Template Gallery you can find publicly available tests.

Using datasets

In Waaila, a workspace is divided into depots and each depot may contain several datasets. Datasets in Waaila consist of a set of tests and a connection to a particular source of data, such as a particular view in Google Analytics or a specific account at Piano Analytics. There can be multiple datasets connected to the same source of data, each with a particular purpose. For example, you can have a set of tests for general daily checks, a set of tests for daily checks of e-commerce data (with notifications to a specialized team) and a set of tests for custom tests that you run manually when you need to analyse a current issue in the data.

Using depots

In Waaila, a workspace is divided into depots and each depot may contain several datasets. A Waaila depot is a basically folder that serves as a list of one or more datasets. You can use separate depots if you have data from several websites or for manual testing and production alerts. However, you don't need multiple depots, you can have all your datasets within one depot called for example "Main".

To create a depot, select the button "Create a new depot", choose a name for it and optionally write a description of the purpose of this depot. You can change both the name and the description later.

When you have a depot, you can either create an empty dataset or create a dataset from an existing collection of tests.

Using workspaces

Each Google user logged into Waaila has their own private workspace. Workspaces may be shared among users to simplify cooperation and make the best use of your premium access.
