Q & A

What is the purpose of the Integrations page in CIC Cockpit?

The Integrations page in CIC Cockpit allows users to create data flows, work with reference tables, and download CIC Studio.

What is CIC Studio and what is its primary function?

CIC Studio is a data transformation tool used for transforming data in the cloud. It is necessary when working with data in the cloud and is used to perform lookups and transformations.

How can new versions of CIC Studio be accessed by users?

New versions of CIC Studio will automatically be available in the user's tenant as they are released. Users can download the latest version by clicking the download button.

What are reference tables and how are they used in CIC Cockpit?

Reference tables are used during transformation processing to convert incoming values into values that the system can use. They can be defined in a specific way, viewed, and modified in the CIC Cockpit and are referenced from CIC Studio for lookups.

Can users create new entries in reference tables through CIC Cockpit?

Yes, users can create new entries in reference tables directly through the CIC Cockpit interface by clicking the 'add row' button.

What is a data flow and what does it consist of?

A data flow connects two endpoints, enabling data transfer between them in a single direction. It consists of a 'from' endpoint and a 'to' endpoint.

How can users view information about each data flow in the CIC system?

Users can view information about each data flow on the data flow page in the CIC system, where details about the 'from' and 'to' endpoints are displayed.

Can data flows be scheduled to run at specific intervals?

Yes, data flows can be scheduled to run at intervals such as every minute, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or according to a custom advanced schedule.

What actions can be performed on a data flow from the data flow menu?

From the data flow menu, users can view the schedule of a data flow, change the schedule, and delete the data flow if it is no longer needed.

How can users create a new data flow?

Users can create a new data flow by clicking the 'add data flow' button, naming the data flow, selecting the 'from' and 'to' endpoints, choosing a folder, and optionally adding it to a schedule before saving.
