Concept | Dataiku homepage#

The Dataiku homepage is like the default page of a website. It’s where you land:

When you sign in to your Dataiku design instance via your web browser, if you’re using a self-managed installation.
When you open an instance from the Launchpad, if you’re using Dataiku Cloud.

From the homepage, you can create new projects, access existing projects and items, and see shared assets if you are collaborating with colleagues.

The layout is organized into three sections that help you navigate the platform, pick up where you left off, and discover helpful resources.

Section	Description
Left navigation	Access main areas of Dataiku, including: Projects, where you create and manage analytics work. Workspaces, where you share AI-driven insights. Data Catalog, where you find and access datasets. Dataiku apps, where you find reusable, shareable workflows for your team.
My work	Create a new project or pick up where you left off with: Projects: Your recently accessed projects. Items: Your favorite and recently used items like recipes and datasets.
Promoted content	Find resources to help you learn, including: Materials from Dataiku and your company. Platform basics to get you started. Updates on new features. Capabilities relevant to your role.

Waffle menu#

The Waffle menu () in the top right of the homepage is where you’ll find:

Access to your projects, workspaces, applications, the Data Catalog, and an items search.
Shared assets such as the Feature Store, shared code, and wikis.
Tools to monitor models, automation, data quality, and data lineage.
Your message inbox, access to the plugin store, and instance-level administration settings for on-premise installation, including management of the license, connections, security, code environments, etc.

Note

On Dataiku Cloud, the administration settings are accessible in the Launchpad. The Administration menu in the Waffle menu is used only to manage the Code Studio and Code Environments.
