Why can't Zoë see my data?
If Zoë says there is no data available, returns an empty result, or cannot answer a question about data you expect to use, the issue is usually one of these:
The warehouse connection is not working.
The relevant tables are not modeled in Zenlytic.
The question is asking for a metric or field that does not exist yet.
Your role, group, or data access rules prevent you from seeing the data.
The data exists, but the date range or filters exclude it.
Step 1: Check whether this is a connection issue
If no one in the workspace can query the data, the warehouse connection may need attention.
Ask a workspace admin or data owner to confirm that the warehouse connection is active and that Zenlytic has the required database permissions.
Step 2: Check whether the data is modeled
Zoë can only reliably answer questions about data that is available to Zenlytic through the semantic layer.
If a table, metric, or field has not been modeled yet, Zoë may not be able to use it correctly.
A data model owner can confirm whether the table, field, metric, or topic exists in the workspace.
Step 3: Check your access
If other users can see the data but you cannot, your role, groups, or user attributes may be limiting your access.
Ask a workspace admin to check:
Your role
Your workspace groups
Dashboard sharing
User attributes
Data access rules
Step 4: Check filters and date ranges
Sometimes Zoë can see the data, but the current filters remove all rows.
Try asking with a broader date range or fewer filters.
Examples:
“Show total orders for all time.”
“Show revenue for the last 12 months.”
“Show the most recent date available for orders.”
When to contact support
Contact support if:
The warehouse connection appears broken.
Multiple users cannot access expected data.
A modeled metric or field is missing.
Access rules look correct but the user still cannot see the data.
Zoë is returning errors instead of results.
