# 4. Visualizing & Using Data

Congratulations! 🎉 You have successfully completed the first steps in BuildingPro Suites, set up your assets, and established the data connection. Now the most exciting part begins: you can use, analyze, and visualize the incoming data to its full extent in BuildingPro Suites.

This chapter introduces you to the basic functions with which you can unleash the full potential of your data. Get ready to bring your data to life!
