Chrome Extension

The Select Star Chrome Extension allows users to get their data context side-by-side their dashboards and tables. With the Extension, users have easy access to their metadata while they're looking at dashboards. This allows users to keep their focus in one place, removing the need to switch between tabs or applications.

Users can install the extension individually by following the steps below, or admins can perform an organization-wide install for all users.
