Connector Designer

Connector Designer is a feature of Analysis Hub that provides a "code-free" visual tool for creating and modifying simple external searches against third-party data sources. Analysts with experience of working with REST services or SQL databases can set up connections and simple searches without requiring coding skills or using external consulting resources.
