See Business Intelligence Connector for more information about configuring and using the Business Intelligence Connector feature.

The OpenAir Business Intelligence (BI) Connector feature allows you to access OpenAir data as an OData V4 data feed from other applications without the need to write any code. Contact your OpenAir account manager to enable the Business Intelligence Connector feature on your account.

• Your published report and list view data is stored securely on OpenAir servers.

• You can remove published resources from the OpenAir OData service at any time.

• You must enter your OpenAir sign-in details to access published resources from your OpenAir OData feed.

• You can only access published resources from the OpenAir OData service if the Business Intelligence Connector feature is enabled for your account and if you have the relevant role permissions.

• Access to your OpenAir OData feed resource data is read-only.

• Data access in the OpenAir OData feed follow the same privileges and restrictions as in OpenAir.
