  • Patent number: 12136135
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processing operations configured to improve data ingestion processing for management of domain-specific data through a software data platform. Processing described herein provides technical advantages, provided through a software data platform, that enable a user (e.g., an administrator) of an organization to more easily integrate and manage domain-specific data within a software data platform. A graphical user interface (GUI) of a software data platform is configured to guide an administrative user through data mapping processing so that the administrator can more easily integrate its organizational data into the software data platform. Insights may be automatically generated and provided to the user through the GUI, which may help to guide the administrator through the data mapping process. In further examples, generated insights may be provided as recommendations (or autocorrections) designed to foster a successful data mapping to aid provisioning of data.
