Navigating Bitscale
Let’s walk through how to navigate your workspace, organize your grids, and streamline workflows using a few simple yet powerful tricks.
1. Your Home Base: Grids & Workbooks
When you log in, you land on the main dashboard.
Here, you’ll see two primary sections:
- Starred: Your pinned grids and workbooks for quick access
- All Grids: Every grid you’ve ever worked on
⭐ To star an item, just tap the star icon next to the name — it’ll move up to the top section for easy retrieval.
2. Grids vs. Workbooks
- A Grid is a single data table (like a spreadsheet).
- A Workbook is a collection of related grids grouped together — think of it like a folder with tabs.
You can rename, share, download, or delete individual grids.
Workbooks support renaming and deleting too, but deleting a workbook removes all the grids inside — so proceed carefully.
3. Inside a Grid: The Power View
Click into any grid and you’ll land in the familiar spreadsheet view.
Here are a few quick navigation tips:
- Double-click the grid name at the top to rename it instantly
- Use the three-dot menu for additional actions
- Switch between connected grids in a workbook using the tabs up top or the left-side panel (hamburger icon)
4. Creating Workbooks Automatically
Whenever you import data from any of Bitscale’s built-in sources (like Google Maps, LinkedIn Search, Company Finder, etc.), we auto-create a workbook to organize your outputs.
Why? Because these data flows often span multiple steps — and you’ll want everything bundled together.
For example:
- Go to Data Sources
- Select Find Company
- Run a search and choose “Import to new grid”
You’ll see a clean animation confirming that a new workbook has been created, with both source and result grids placed inside.
This structure helps you navigate across large projects without losing context.
5. Other Power Features
- Use the grid switcher (hamburger icon) to jump between grids quickly
- Rename grids or workbooks inline by double-clicking their names
- Delete or clean up test runs without affecting the rest of your workspace
Bitscale is built to scale — not just in data volume, but also in usability. With the right structure in place, you can move between 5-step workflows or 50-grid workbooks with ease.
