About
This issue aims to define and scope down the requirements for what we plan to deliver by end of Q3 around data exploration.

Possible iteration path:
| Iteration 1 (Data explorer, dedicated page) | Iteration 2 (data exploration using Duo) |
|---|---|
 |
 |
- Iteration 1:
- Create new page for Data explorer (group, project level)
- Introduce GLQL editor with preview panel
- Add a way to export data
- Add a way to add explorations to a dashboard
- Note: The same data explorer, Vue components would be reused in the context of adding/editing dashboard panels (#528016[Edit_panel.png]).

- Iteration 2:
- Enable users to explore data using natural language with Duo (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/561576)
- If data exploration with Duo works as expected, we could remove the dedicated Data explorer pages since data exploration would be omni-present with Duo.
