Workbench allows you to set schedules for the extract, transform, and load (ETL) tasks associated with your projects. Scheduling project tasks ensures that your transformed data is up to date and available to users when they need it.
In Workbench, you can organize and transform your raw data into useful data sources that are then presented to the end-user applications as shown in the following diagram. You can design how to present the data in diveable dashboards and graphical and tabular displays. With the DiveTab, DivePort, and ProDiver clients, users can further manipulate data as well as formulate and answer questions relative to their roles in the organization.
