Harbour Street Bakery

Harbour Street Bakery is a made-up business with two shops. Its September close runs end to end in DataCrafter: two data sources, a data model that joins them, an aggregation, a report, and a Workflow that runs the aggregation and then the report. The Scheduler runs the Workflow at 6 am on the first of each month, so the pack is waiting when the team arrives.

The run log shows each step as it starts and finishes, so a failed step is easy to find. Every name in these pictures is made up.

The whole workspace: the Modules tree lists the bakery's objects by type, and the Month-end close Workflow is open on its canvas.

The Schedule's next five runs. It runs the Workflow at 6 am on the first of each month, Queensland time.
