Contour provides a point-and-click user interface to perform data analysis on tables at scale. These analyses can be used to create interactive dashboards that allow others to explore and investigate the data in a guided, structured way. Key features of Contour include:

  • Visualize, filter, and transform data without code.
  • Organize complex analyses into analytical paths.
  • Parameterize analyses to easily switch between different views of the data and results.
  • Create interactive dashboards to share findings.
  • Save analysis results as a new dataset for use in other Foundry tools.
  • Leverage Contour expression language for more advanced transformations and aggregations.
