How do I view Available Data in Ask Your Data?

In Ask Your Data, you can easily see which datasets are available for your queries by accessing the Available Data section. This area provides visibility into data accessible through Canvas Data 2, as part of Instructure's Data Access Platform (DAP). For more detailed information about the data structures and platform, you can directly navigate to the Data Access Platform documentation from this section.

Note: Sub-account administrators can use Ask Your Data (AYD) directly within their own sub-accounts, where AYD is scoped to display only the data relevant to that specific sub-account.
