FAQ’s
Businesses use many applications, which means business-critical data is stored in many locations. Traditionally companies would physically move data from one database to another to share data across applications. This can be a difficult process that results in duplicated or missing data. Virtual Integration refers to connecting apps without the heavy lift of moving the data. Virtual integration allows you to share data across apps by simply displaying any data from any app, inside any other app. Virtual integration makes sharing data across the organization a much simpler and streamlined process. With better data, the whole team is smarter.
Most modern software allows access to their application data through an API (Application Programming Interface), with the industry standard being a REST API. To use an API you really need to be a developer that can understand API documentation and then be able to write code to call and consume the data provided by the API. Popdock provides API access to non-developers. With Popdock’s REST Service connector, you can make connections to any application with a REST API without needing to know any programming language.
Popdock widgets are embeddable objects and allow you to present data, from any data source, inside of the app you work in. This is all done without writing a single line of code. Widgets have options that can be turned on/off that allow users to add filters, view related details, search, add columns, and even take action on a record (examples: open a record, run a process, or update information). Widgets help see the data you need to do your job, without switching apps.
That is a great question. Popdock always returns live data from the source, which means accounting teams can be sure they are looking at real-time data. Most importantly each report can be configured by the accounting team. Accounting teams understand their data better than anyone, so they can handle the nuances of their data, like returns, credits, voids, shipping, and tax, to ensure they are looking at the most accurate information.
Popdock is a universal query engine that can be used by end users across all business systems. Popdock allows those configurable queries to be displayed in a number of ways: Via Popdock’s web browser UI, in Microsoft Excel as refreshable reports, embedded within another business application where users prefer to work, as connected sensitive data snippets for end users or consumed as an API by your developers.
Connections are counted when you set them up in the Smartconnect application and save the connection.
Connections are counted when you set them up in the Smartconnect application and save the connection.
A connection refers to any system that you want to integrate to or from. It may be a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales/CRM environment, a Dynamics NAV/GP on-premise solution, a Salesforce instance, or any of our available connections. When you create that “connection” you are then able to use it in a data source or as a destination.
In slightly different terms, think through “Do I need a login for this application?” If the answer is yes, then you’ll need a connection for that in SmartConnect.
A couple things to keep in mind….
Test environments and development environments will require their own connections and will count towards your limit.
Files count differently. The first time you run an integration that includes a file or folder data source, one connection is counted. After that, you’ll have access to unlimited file and folder integration without counting additional connections.
The SmartConnect.com app is hosted in Microsoft Azure and is available to be hosted in multiple regions: North America – US, United Kingdom – West, and EU – West Europe, and Australia.
