Data Import Modules
Data Source Specification The Data Source Specification module accesses, loads and transforms one or more input data sources and creates one single 'in memory' data object on which all data analysis modules can operate. Three types of data sources can be accessed directly: relational database tables, flat files and MS Access MDB files. Spreadsheets can be accessed via the Spreadsheet Import panel.
Spreadsheet Import panel The Spreadsheet Import panel is a wizard which converts a complex spreadsheet (such as a MS-Excel document) into a flat data structure which is suitable for being imported into the Input Data panel.
Importing Data from Google Analytics The Google Analytics import module reads web page analytics data via the Google Analytics API and opens them in the Input Data panel.
Data Transformations The Record Grouping module starts from an existing input data source within Synop Analyzer and groups its records into a smaller number data groups, each group consisting of one or more records of the original data source. The new data are opened in a new Input Data panel tab on the left side of the Synop Analyzer workbench.
