Automated Snowflake reports, delivered on schedule

Rahoto connects to Snowflake as a database user with a password. It discovers the tables and views in the schema you name (PUBLIC unless you say otherwise), previews them, and runs queries in Snowflake with pushdown.

What Rahoto reads

Your tables and views

Rahoto reads the structure from Snowflake itself: every table and view in the schema it is pointed at, with its columns and types. Nothing is fixed in advance, so the report sees the same tables your team does.

How you connect

What you need before connecting

Sign-in
A database user and password
You provide
  • Account identifier
  • Warehouse
  • Database
  • User name
  • Schema (optional)
Defaults
  • Schema: PUBLIC

Connectors read from your sources and are read-only by default. See the connection guidance for the steps.

How it refreshes

Refreshed on your schedule

Refresh mode: Snapshot.

  • On each scheduled run Rahoto takes a fresh snapshot of the data and rebuilds the report from it.
  • You can preview the data before you bind it to the page.
  • Charts and tables can also query Snowflake directly, with the query work pushed down to it.
  • Before an issue goes out, Rahoto checks the pages and notices when a source changed shape.

An example report

Monthly management report

The first working day of each month, built from Snowflake.

  1. A cover with the month and the business unit
  2. A headline page of the figures your team defines, each bound to a table, view or query
  3. Charts and tables bound to the same governed tables
  4. Commentary pages written in the editor beside the numbers
  5. An appendix of definitions, so readers know where each figure comes from

The structure of a report, with no figures shown. You design the pages; Rahoto binds them to the data and sends them on schedule. See finished examples in the sample gallery.
