KrakDBench User Manual

Welcome to KrakDBench – the intelligent data analytics platform for industry‑standardised data transformation, analysis, and reporting.

This manual covers everything you need to get started, from uploading your first dataset to running advanced machine learning reports.

1. Getting Started

1.1 Signing Up / Logging In

Navigate to the KrakDBench home page.
Click Login (if you already have an account) or Sign Up to create a new one.
After logging in, you’ll land on the Hub page.

1.2 The Hub

The Hub gives you a quick overview of your recent jobs, usage statistics, and quick links to upload data or open the dashboard.

2. Uploading Data

From any page, go to File → Upload Data.
Drag and drop a file or click to browse. Supported formats: CSV, Excel (.xlsx/.xls), Parquet, TXT.
Once the file is processed, you’ll see a preview of the first rows.
If prompted, select your Industry and Data Standard from the dropdown. This tailors the platform’s operations to your domain.
Click Continue – the data is now loaded and ready.

Tip: You can update an existing dataset with File → Update Data.

3. The Dashboard

The Dashboard is your main workspace. It shows: - Key metrics about your dataset (row count, columns, memory). - Data preview table with search, sort, and filter. - Quick‑access cards for Profile Trust Score and AI Insights.

From the dashboard you can navigate to any of the specialised tools using the top navigation bar.

4. Data Operations

Data Operations (accessible via Data → Data Operations) is where you transform and standardise your data. You can perform:

Rename Columns – map your current column names to industry‑standard PRISMX names. The system suggests mappings automatically; you can accept them or type your own.
Cast Data Types – convert text to numbers, dates, etc.
Map Enums – standardise categorical values (e.g., “Single Family” → “SF”).
Standardise Dates – convert various date formats to YYYYMMDD.
Format Numbers – add commas, set decimal places, add prefixes/suffixes.
Scale Numbers – multiply, divide, or apply other mathematical operations.
Create TAPE Columns – generate coded versions of key columns for downstream systems.

Each operation can be previewed before applying, and you can queue multiple operations and apply them all at once.

5. Advanced Data Operations

Data → Advanced Data Operations provides bulk utilities: - Column Analyzer – view detailed statistics for every column. - Data Quality – run a comprehensive quality check (missing values, duplicates, business rule violations). - Stratify All Fields – segment your data by one or more columns and compute summary metrics.

6. Advanced Reports

The Advanced Reports menu gives you access to AI‑powered analytics:

Churn Risk Dashboard – identify customers or records likely to churn.
Anomaly Detection – automatically flag unusual patterns.
Journey Analytics – analyse user or process journeys.
Scenario Simulator – run what‑if analyses on your data.
ML Predictor – train and use machine learning models (classification, regression).
ML Insights – let the AI explain which factors most influence a target.
Time Series Forecast – forecast future values based on historical data.
Data Profiler – a one‑click comprehensive profile of your dataset.

Each report walks you through a simple configuration and then presents interactive charts and tables.

7. File Management

Save Job – Save your current session (dataset + operations) so you can resume later.
Load Job – Recover a previously saved session.
