RightSight User Guide  ·  Module 1 of 14

Designer v7.6 beta

The RightSight Designer is the landing page and central hub for navigating all data observability modules.

Overview

The Designer is the RightSight landing page — the first screen users see when navigating to Observability → RightSight → Designer. It provides a high-level summary of your data pipeline health and acts as a launchpad into all other RightSight modules.

Target Persona: All users — Data Engineers, Data Stewards, Data Governance leads.

Prerequisites: Valid RightSight license and at least one connection profile configured in Administration → Admin Console → Connections.

How This Module Helps

The Designer serves as your daily command center. Instead of navigating to individual modules to check pipeline health, the Designer aggregates key metrics (active pipelines, failures, scheduled jobs) into a single view. It connects to every other module in RightSight, so you can jump directly to the area that needs attention.
