Using External Data Sources

Overview

External Data Sources allow you to reach outside of InFocus and draw from third-party data sources for analysis.

External Data Sources and their connection settings are configured in AD>Global Settings and thereby made available to applets such as SQL Query and Analytic Dashboard Designer

Tutorial

To add an external data source, complete the following from the Analytic Dashboard Designer (UT>Analytic Dashboard Designer):

1. Click the Data Source tab from the toolbar

2. Click Add External Data Source. A list of data sources configured in Global Settings will appear.

3. Select the Data Source

Once loaded, you can add an Analytic Model for use in the design.
