Data Sources perspective

In the Data Sources perspective you can find various types of data sources which you can employ in a dashboard. These allow you to access the data that you want to use in your dashboard.

Data Sources perspective

The data source perspective is divided into three sections. The left pane lists the supported data source types, grouped by category. Once selected, the data sources are grouped by category in the middle Datasources pane. The Properties pane on the right displays the properties you’ll need to set for each data source, such as connection information, the actual query, parameters, column configuration, and output columns.

For information on data sources, properties, queries, and parameters, see the following topics:

• List of data sources
