## What is the DataHub?

The DataHub is the Reelevant platform's data management center. It lets you import, configure, and maintain external data feeds — product catalogs, store locations, CRM records, website events, and more — so they can be used in [workflows](/product-guide/workflows/overview) and [content templates](/product-guide/contents/overview) to personalize every experience.

## Key Concepts

| Concept           | Description                                                                                                                 |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Datasource**    | A connection to an external data feed that Reelevant fetches, parses, and stores for use in personalization.                |
| **Catalog**       | A gallery of available datasource types (Product, Location, Generic, Analytics, etc.) you can connect.                      |
| **Source**        | The origin of the data — a URL, uploaded file, FTP/SFTP server, BigQuery, Snowflake, GCS, S3, Kafka, or another datasource. |
| **Field mapping** | The configuration that maps raw data fields to standardized types (reference ID, price, URL, etc.).                         |
| **Queries**       | A tool for searching and browsing the data stored in a datasource.                                                          |
| **Logs**          | Execution history showing fetch, parse, and save operations with status and error details.                                  |

## Datasource Types

The DataHub supports several datasource categories:

| Category          | Description                                                             |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Product**       | Product catalogs with fields like reference ID, name, price, image URL. |
| **Location**      | Store or point-of-interest listings with address and coordinates.       |
| **Generic**       | Arbitrary data feeds for any use case.                                  |
| **Analytics**     | Website event tracking (page views, clicks, purchases).                 |
| **Customer Data** | CRM data synchronized from external systems.                            |

## Datasource Lifecycle

| Status         | Description                                                  |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Draft**      | The datasource has been created but not yet imported.        |
| **Publishing** | The datasource is being processed for the first time.        |
| **Published**  | The datasource is live and its data is available for use.    |
| **Updating**   | The datasource is refreshing with new data.                  |
| **Paused**     | Data refresh has been paused.                                |
| **Error**      | The datasource encountered an issue during import or update. |
