Linking URL String in DataSight

Linking URL String in DataSight

You can link DataSight to systems, either local or on the cloud, via a URL string in any File Dialog window within DataSight. This allows you to download human readable files for import, or upload data and reports to these systems.

The types of systems DataSight can communicate with via a URL string include:

  • FTP Servers.
  • Web Services.
  • Web APIs.

Note

When operating in the Microsoft environment, you will use/see a forward slash within the URL string.  It is only a Windows convention that shows a backslash when you type the location of a local folder specifically in a Microsoft Windows environment.
