Connections

A connection periodically pulls data from a source system and writes it to your lake. You set it up once; after that it runs on its own.

The source systems you can connect are listed in the dashboard under Connections → Add. That list is generated from what the platform actually supports, so it is always current.

Adding a connection

1. Go to Dashboard → Connections → Add.
2. Pick the source system and sign in at the vendor.
3. Select the administrations you want to pull.

The first sync can take several hours for a large administration. After that, only the difference is fetched.

Access is managed with groups

Assign a connection to a group, and only members of that group see the corresponding tables. That's how you keep payroll data separate from the rest of the team.
