Data Destination

Data Destination represent the definition of the structure of the data that is loaded into QuartzX platforms. This configuration allows you to specify all the fields/columns that will be loaded into our platforms.

This article only explains how to create a Data Destination. In order to load data into our applications, more configuration is necessary. For more information, please refer to this article.

In order to view and configure Data Destinations in QuartzIQ, you must have the required application roles:

  • QX-Admin
  • IQ-Admin (only if you want to create Source and Data Destinations in order to input data for QuartzIQ)

The creation button will take you through the steps necessary to create the Data Destination:

  • Information: this step allows you to configure the name and description of the Data Destination. This will help you identify the Data Destination but can easily be updated after creation.
  • Data connection use: you can choose here for which QuartzX application you will be using the data.
    • IQ: this option allows you to retrieve data to be used within the QuartzIQ application.
    • SystemData: this option allows you to retrieve data to be used within all other QuartzX applications.

You should now define the different fields that will be used in the target application.
