Sources - List Sources

The Sources section in AnalyticsCreator allows users to view and manage all available source objects connected via defined connectors. This interface displays metadata for each object such as tables or views from the selected source system.

Function

Each entry in the list corresponds to a source object that can be further used in schemas, layers, or transformations. The grid provides filtering and sorting capabilities to facilitate navigation through large datasets.

Access

To access this screen, go to Sources > Sources in the AnalyticsCreator interface. The list will populate automatically based on the selected connector.
