# Metabase

Metabase allows you to visualize and analyze data stored in your Nuvolos tables without having to write SQL statements.

## Add a Metabase application

To use Metabase in your Nuvolos working instance, open Applications and add a Metabase application from the application gallery.

## Running Metabase

Start the Metabase application. On first launch, Metabase performs an initial automated configuration, including setup of Nuvolos SDW access and creation of the Metabase administrator user. This process can take about a minute. When setup is complete, sign in with:

* **Username:** **`metabase@nuvolos.cloud`**
* **Password:** `Nuvolos`

## Metabase landing page

After you sign in, Metabase opens to the landing page and starts scanning the schemas you can access in Nuvolos.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want Metabase to display the original table and column names instead of humanized names, open Admin settings from the cogwheel icon in the top-right corner and change that setting there.
{% endhint %}
