Creating or deleting a data source in the GUI

Note: You need to have assigned the Source - Manage permission as an Automation Cloud user, or the Sources Admin permission as a legacy user to create or delete a data source. In addition, these permissions allows you to create a new source when you create a new dataset.

When you create a source in the GUI, an empty source with defined properties is set up. Then, you can upload data to it through the API. For more details, check the API docs.

Alternatively, you can create a source through the API. This method may be more suitable for non-technical users to define their source properties before a technical user uploads the data.

Creating a data source

  1. Navigate to the Administrator page, and select the Sources tab.
  2. Select the New source button.
  3. Fill in the required source properties, which include:
    • Source project
    • Source name
    • Source title
    • Source description
    • Sensitive properties
      Note: Requires the Source - ReadSensitive permission for Automation Cloud users, or the View sensitive data permission for legacy users to view sensitive data.
    • Language
    • Translation
      Note: Requires the Source - Manage permissions for Automation Cloud users, or the Create translated sources permission for legacy users.
  4. Select Create source.


Deleting a data source

  1. Navigate to the Administrator page, and select the Sources tab.
  2. Select the delete icon on the source you want to remove.
  3. Next, you are prompted to enter the name of the source to confirm the deletion.
