# Data Explorer with Tabular View

We're excited to offer early access to a limited group of customers so we can incorporate feedback and ensure the experience scales well before making it generally available. If you would like to request access, please reach out to your account team.

Data Explorer replaces and improves upon Metrics Explorer, giving you a more powerful way to analyze trends, examine individual data points, and identify the patterns influencing your development process. From diagnosing performance issues to spotting areas for improvement, it provides the visibility needed to make confident, data-driven decisions.

## What's new

* **Tabular view with multi-metric support** - Compare several metrics side by side in a single view, making it easier to spot correlations and analyze related data without switching between charts.
* **Scorecards as metrics in tabular view** - Bring your Scorecards directly into the tabular view alongside other metrics for a unified, at-a-glance look at performance and quality indicators.
* **Refreshed UI** - A cleaner, more intuitive interface that streamlines navigation and helps you find what you need faster.

## Using tabular view

1. From the main sidebar, expand **Eng Intelligence**, then select **Data Explorer**.
2. In the right pane, select **Table**.<br>

   <div align="left" data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/s3whDkxCpopy8EqvAsw0" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
3. In the right pane, click **Add column**. \
   The **Metrics** window opens.
4. Select a metric to view. By default, **Cycle time** is displayed.
5. Click **View metric**.\
   A graph of the metric is displayed. By default, the data uses a time range of the last 30 days, but you can select a different time range.\
   Below the graph is an overview of metrics that can be grouped by team, owner, repository, entity, and more.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 as necessary.
7. To remove a metric from the tabular view, click the **X icon** next to the metric's name.<br>

   <div align="left" data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/Gr6FMPCUOn6XyKdIkWh9" alt="" width="136"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
8. To select a new time range, click the default period of **Last 30 days** in the upper-right corner and select the desired range.
9. Optionally filter and group metrics by team, entity, and other dimensions. You can also sort the columns.
10. Finally, click **Save As** to save your table as a module. Saved modules appear in your module library and can be added to [custom dashboards](/improve/eng-intelligence/dashboards/custom.md) alongside charts and other visualizations.

## Scorecards as metrics (tabular view only)

Scorecards have been integrated into Data Explorer as a fully supported metric type. You can now add them to tabular reports alongside other metrics. This unified approach lets you correlate Scorecard results with related performance or quality data, e.g. comparing a service's reliability score against its deployment frequency, or tracking compliance scores across teams in a single view. The result is a more complete, contextual picture of how your systems and processes are performing.

## New modules area

Modules now live in the main sidebar. Switch between all modules and your own, with search to find any saved module quickly.

## Upcoming enhancements <a href="#upcoming-enhancements" id="upcoming-enhancements"></a>

We plan to develop additional capabilities during and beyond the beta period:

* Support for additional data sources such as entity metadata and initiatives progress
* New chart types like KPI cards and more
