A data source is created to store the information needed to connect to a database and fetch the required data from it.
Necto enables connectivity to several types of data sources: Relational databases (MS SQL, Oracle), flat files (CSV, XLS, XLSX), MSAS cubes, and business reporting tools such as MS Reporting Services.
Data sources are organized in a tree structure (like files and folders). You can place them in the public folder, available for all, or in a private folder for personal use.
To work with data sources, click Data Sources on the Management page ribbon.
