Sources

A source is any system where your data already lives. Common examples include KoboToolbox, Google Sheets, CommCare, Avni, Zoho, and many others.

When you add a source in Dalgo, you are saving the access credentials for that system. After that, you create a connection to choose which data syncs into your warehouse.

Viewing your sources​

  1. Select Data in the left menu, then select Ingest.
  2. Select the Sources tab.

Sources list

You will see all sources added to your organisation. Use the search bar to find a source by name or type.

Adding a source​

  1. Select + Add Source. A dialog will appear.

Add Source dialog

  1. Search for or select the Source Type (e.g. KoboToolbox, Google Sheets).
  2. Enter a Source Name.
  3. Fill in the required credentials or connection details. The fields shown depend on the source type. If you are unsure what credentials are needed, check the provider's documentation or contact the person who manages that system.
  4. Select Save Changes and Test. Dalgo will confirm it can reach the source.
  5. Select Save once the test succeeds.

Editing or deleting a source​

  1. On the Sources tab, select the ⋯ menu on the source row.
  2. Select Edit to update credentials and test again, or Delete to remove the source.
note

You cannot change the source type of an existing source. If you need a different source type, create a new source instead.

warning

Deleting a source also removes any connections that depend on it. This cannot be undone.
