Phase 1 - The Big Picture

What SBT is, the key terms (Beta vs 1.0, package vs app), and the build-to-publish workflow at a glance.

Seek Build Tools (SBT) Overview

The full journey of an Insight Cloud app: from SBT build, to install, to a running dashboard.

App & Data Lifecycle

What build and publish each do, where version numbers come from, and how orgs get upgraded.

App Publishing Lifecycle

Phase 2 - Get Set Up

Install SBT step by step on any OS and verify it works. One-time setup per computer.

Setting Up SBT

Reference for the sbtconf.toml project config file: what's in it, how to add environments, how to switch between them, and how to keep it safe.

Configuring Your Project (sbtconf.toml)

Build and run your first complete app with SBT: three tiny tables, two models, one app. Every step verified on SBT 1.0.10.

Quickstart

Every sbt command with a real example, the argument shapes, and the gotchas the --help text doesn't tell you.

SBT Command References

Phase 3 - Building Blocks (in dependency order)

The app yaml reference: bundling models into an app, required fields, and SBT 1.0 additions.

Apps

Declaring the tables your app reads in sources yaml, bundled vs non-bundled, and changing mappings after install.

Sources

Define schemas to validate your sources and model outputs: columns, constraints, and the validate commands.

Schemas

A model consists of code that populates a single table or view, along with metadata properties that define how your users can interact with the model.

Models

How freshness settings and shared models reduce redundant app runs and compute costs.

Model Reuse: Freshness and Shared Models

Reusable helper queries and the run context (the seek object) your model code receives at runtime.

Helpers & the Run Context

The three ways an app gets its Python dependencies — the packages key, wheel files in modules/, and requirements.txt — and which one applies to your app.

Dependencies: packages, wheels, and requirements.txt

Restrict which rows of data an organization can see using RLS parameters: how to define them in SBT, what subscribers see at install, and how to write model code that filters correctly.

RLS Parameters (Row-Level Security)

Phase 4 - Publishing & Installing

The one-time Snowflake grants a publisher runs so apps can read their source tables — the complete script, why each grant exists, and how to know it worked.

Publisher Snowflake Setup (Grants)

What must be in place in Snowflake and your SBT project before an app can install and run successfully.

Prerequisites for App Installs

The admin-side install walkthrough: grant access, install, Set Data Access, source mappings, first run, and how to confirm it actually worked.

Installing an App into an Organization

App Context is the semantic model that lets the Intelligence tool understand an app's data output, so it can answer questions and write accurate SQL.

App Context

Phase 5 - Running & Debugging

Plain-language guide to the Sync Engine: declared vs observed, the four states, when it acts, and the blind spot behind install failures.

The Sync Engine

How to read the Visualizer graph, what every button does, and what it cannot tell you.

Using the Sync Engine Visualizer

First-line triage for app install and run failures: the grant chain, symptom-to-owner table, and how to file an issue.

Troubleshooting App Installs & Runs

Current known issues affecting app installs and runs, and how to report problems so they get triaged fast.

Known Issues & How to Report a Problem

Phase 6 - Reference

Wire a Sigma dashboard to your app: user attributes, the data model SQL pattern, and the embed flow.

Data Visualizations with Sigma

How to migrate a Beta app to SBT 1.0: command changes, the checklist, and what upgrades preserve.

SBT 1.0 App Migration Guide

What changed in each SBT release, and what it means for app builders.
