Interact with Your Data
Overview
After loading your data or our sample data, you can use the Atlas UI to interact with the data in the following ways:
- Manage Databases in your database deployments.
- Manage Collections in your database deployments.
- Manage Documents in your collections.
- Manage Indexes on your collections.
- Create and run aggregation pipelines to process data in your collections.
- Shard Global Clusters to distribute large datasets evenly.
The Atlas UI supports all features for serverless instances except the Search tab.
To learn more, see Serverless Instance Limitations.
Atlas UI Read Behavior
The Atlas UI reads from the primary unless the primary is unavailable. If the primary is unavailable, the Atlas UI reads from a non-hidden, non-delayed secondary member.
Disable Atlas UI Data Interaction
To interact with your data in the Atlas UI as described in the Overview section, the Data Explorer needs to be enabled.
To enable or disable Data Explorer for a project, you
must have the Project Owner role for the project
or the Organization Owner role on its parent organization.
Data Explorer is enabled by default. To disable Data Explorer:
Click Settings.
Set the Data Explorer toggle to Off.
When Data Explorer is disabled, you cannot:
- Terminate slow operations from the Real-Time Performance Panel.
- Create indexes from the
Performance Advisor. You
can still view Performance Advisor recommendations, but you must
create those indexes from
mongosh.
To enable Data Explorer, set the toggle to On.
