Data Source Setup

 Top  Previous  Next

Overview

Each Analytic Model relies on a data source for the data it contains. Analytic Dashboards support both native (InFocus) and third party data sources- selected when building the design. This means that, in addition to your InFocus data, you can now visualize outside data across other areas of business- making InFocus a central hub for business analysis.

 

Third party data sources are considered either External (e.g. SQL Database, etc.) or Custom (e.g. SQL, OLAP, Microsoft Excel / CSV, etc.) and can be added when designing an Analytic Dashboard view. External Data Sources can be configured globally in AD>Global Settings for use in other InFocus applets. Custom Data Sources are added when designing with the Analytic Dashboard Designer.

 

Note

 

Most users will simply use the default InFocus data source. If InFocus will be your only data source, no additional data source setup is required. You can skip to the Analytic Models Setup section below.
