1. Data Store using an RDBMS Data Connector​

2. ​Data Store using a Flat File Data Connector​

3. ​Data Store using an API Data Connector​

Please Note:

• The Schedule Data Refresh step will appear only if the Enable Scheduler option is enabled from the Getting Data step. This step will not get displayed for the Data Stores based on Flat File data connectors or the Data Stores based on the uploaded CSV/Excel file.

• The user can also see the Data Stores created by Uploading a CSV/ Excel file for Creating a New Report getting listed on the Data Store List page.

• The Data Stores created by the uploaded files will not support View/Edit, Refresh Data, Latest Schedule Status, Share Data Store, Push to VCS, Pull from VCS, and Visualize actions. Thus, all the above-stated options will be disabled for such Data Stores.

• However, the user can Add Synonyms to Data Stores created by the uploading CSV/Excel files and Delete them using the Data Store List.
