# Views

## Overview

System views expose metadata about data sources, attributes, scans, configurations, and operations. All views are in the `core` schema. Most views accessible via `app_public` role; some require `app_admin`.

## View Sections

* [**Schema Summary Views**](https://docs.datapancake.com/core-concepts/views/schema-summary-views) - Data source overview, scan history, configurations, billing events, audit logs
* [**Schema Analysis Views**](https://docs.datapancake.com/core-concepts/views/schema-analysis-views) - Attribute metadata, polymorphic version tracking, schema evolution
* [**Security & Governance Views**](https://docs.datapancake.com/core-concepts/views/security-and-governance-views) - Security policies, data dictionary, transformations, Gen AI semantic models
* [**Integration & Code Generation Views**](https://docs.datapancake.com/core-concepts/views/integration-and-code-generation-views) - Semantic layer, foreign keys, generated SQL code, Cortex Analyst integration
* [**Monitoring & Diagnostic Views**](https://docs.datapancake.com/core-concepts/views/monitoring-and-diagnostic-views) - Integration process tracking, access control

**Note:** Primary attribute views (`vw_datasource_active_attributes`, `vw_datasource_all_attributes`, `vw_datasource_version_all_attributes`) are documented in [Attributes: Integration & API](https://docs.datapancake.com/core-concepts/attribute-metadata/integration-and-api).
