Query Dataset

[LRSutton]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I rely on Senzing to handle information coming from a data stream that I don't always have deep insight into. I would like to be able to perform some queries via the webapp that allow me to see the current state of entities in my database.

Describe the solution you'd like
The Desktop application has a feature similar to what I am seeking. Running the Desktop app you see a general view of the entities in the database, broken down by relationships, possible matches, etc. Having a similar "general" view on the webapp would be very beneficial.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I currently workaround the issue by launching PGAdmin and querying the dsc_record table. VERY unfriendly experience. Also, I've looked into using the Desktop application and configuring it to use my webapp database as a data source. That's a non-starter (but the next ticket I'll be writing. ;))

Additional context
I'm not looking to boil the ocean but an API / webapp interface that allows me to generally understand what entities I've collected in my DB would be useful so some filtering ability may be nice.

I'm not sure what you mean by "general" view. In the desktop app you can browse by datasource -> filtered by (duplicates | matches etc). If this is the view you are looking for you are correct, there is no functionality supporting this type of browsing in the webapp. I am unaware of any immediate plans to support this type of browsing(although it has been brought up), the app can do it easily because it is a local instance/db and those sample sets are pre-generated behind the scenes. I'll raise the issue/topic at the next planning meeting. We know people want that, and we want it for feature parity, it's got some technical/design issues that need to be worked out before we can add that.

@LRSutton We have work planned over the coming quarters that may address your request. Can you please set up a time with me so that we can discuss your needs in greater detail?

We are leaving this open as a relevant feature request not on our near-term roadmap for the web app.
This year's goals with the web app focus on:

• Loading records via the interface (for product evaluation only)
• Adding "Why Entities" functionary from the command line EDA tools to the exploration workflow of the web app.

We have more data exploration features planned; if you are looking for a highly desirable feature, please post a feature request to this project.
