From Data Chaos to Clarity, Meet Clarity Admin
Zenlytic’s Dynamic Fields Admin Panel, powered by the Clarity Engine, shows exactly what concepts users are asking Zoë about — and how often. When users request metrics or fields that don’t yet exist, those ideas are captured automatically, so data teams can review, refine, and promote the most valuable ones into the company’s standardized data model.
