FAQs

Q. Can I pick and choose which data packs I subscribe to?

A. Yes. Ideally, they should align with the apps you have subscribed to. For example, there would be no need to subscribe to the AGM data pack if you do not have a subscription to the Agent Manager app.

Q. How often is the log updated with a new entry?

A. Daily (Mon to Sun) or weekly on every Mon to be ready by 08:00 depending on the update frequency you chose at set up.

Q. How long are the log entries stored?

A. Any log entries older than 3 months get removed on a monthly basis.

Q. Some data packs show as "not purchased" - how do I purchase them?

A. Click the link and we will send you a quotation, as soon as it has been set up it joins the rest of the data pack updates, and it then shows in your log entries as running.

Q. How will I know when any new data packs become available?

A. They will appear in your listing automatically.

Q. Can I connect to our university's BI tool?

Q. Yes. Whilst our cloud data warehouse is platform-agnostic (so you can connect it to pretty much any BI), check out this article listing the top BI tools available.

Q. Our university's BI tool is not listed, can I add it?

Q. We will add that to the dropdown list for you if you can tell us which one you are using.
