Data Services

An AgilePoint server-side application that stores data you want to track and report in AgilePoint processes. Data Services has 2 main components:

• data population - Data population is a feature that lets you store the values for specified process data variables in a database. You can use this data for reports.
• data tracking - Data tracking is a feature that monitors process data variables based on specified conditions. You can see the audit history report of the tracked data in the Manage Center on the Data Tracking tab if the value of the tracked variable meets the condition. For example, if a data tracking condition for a variable called HoursWorked is > 40, the HoursWorked variable will be visible on the Data Tracking tab only if the value is greater than 40.

Data Services requires several databases, which are explained in this diagram. These databases are created when you install Data Services.

Prerequisites

• AgilePoint NX OnPremises or AgilePoint NX Private Cloud.
