   Hi @keon94 
   Recently, I received some users' requests to help customize their dashboards. I noticed 2 major obstacles:
   1. They didn't know how Grafana works, even though I've added some description here. Thus, they were not aware of the existence of the domain data model, not mentioned to write SQL based on it. 
   ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14050754/204274083-31ce4096-8eb9-4b52-894c-2cba4b526878.png)
   
   2. After I told them how Grafana worked (to query data from DB), they still didn't know how to add a new panel. 
      a. They didn't know how to use Grafana, eg. create a new dashboard or new panel, etc. (I planned to work on this in #2248)
      b. They didn't know where to find the data model. (As a temp approach, I decided to move the data model link to the top of every dashboard)
      c. They were not familiar with writing SQL. This may be related to their positions, as both users are DevOps engineers not backend or data engineers.
   
   Let's see if this data catalog can be helpful to both point 1, 2.b and 2.c
