Connecting to Remote Data Platforms

Access, visualise, refresh, edit and save copies of remote-hosted data

Connectors enable Omniscope to access data sources other than delimited data files or databases that permit connections to tables/reporting views using ODBC or JDBC. There are two types of Connectors; Direct Connectors which work directly from Omniscope Professional or Enterprise Editions, and Web Connectors, which need to be added to your online accounts, but can deliver your data into the free Viewer. For example, accessing reports and data objects stored on Salesforce.com is possible using the AppExchange-listed Omniscope Connector web service operated by Visokio.

More detail and a roadmap for making the most of the combination of Salesforce and Omniscope is here.

Salesforce Web Connector: the free Omniscope Connector for Salesforce web service can be installed in your Salesforce account(s) from thee AppExchange listing page.  Installation will add a new tab from which you can download reports and un-joined data objects using pre-configured templates to deliver files that will open in the free Viewer. An activated version of Omniscope is required to modify and save customised templates, which can then be uploaded to your account, adding new download and viewing options for different classes of users within your organisation. More on using the online Web Connector for Salesforce.

Salesforce Direct Connector: Omniscope Professional and Enterprise 2.5 (and later) enable to access your Salesforce reports and data objects directly.  More on using the Direct Connector for Salesforce to access, modify, edit and synchronise changes with your Salesforce-hosted data
