Managing Data Mashup

Note: If you have already upgraded to Technology Intelligence Platform, information in this section is not applicable to you. The Data Mashup feature will no longer be accessible from the IT Visibility user interface (IT Visibility > Data Mashup) instead use the Contextual Data Store API to augment your organization’s inventory data with non-discoverable business context data you provide.

With IT Visibility’s Data Mashup feature, you can augment your organization’s inventory data with non-discoverable business context data to produce custom insights and reports.

On the Data Mashup page, you can upload your business context data as a CSV file and, when the CSV data processing has completed, begin working with these new attributes in the Data Explorer view. The mashup data you upload can be combined with your normalized inventory and Technopedia catalog data on hardware, software, and devices to produce unique reports tailored to your organization’s particular business needs. The custom reports and insights built with your normalized inventory data and your mashup data have the potential to identify business strengths and weaknesses or to illuminate behavior so you can make better-informed, data-driven decisions.

Note:Uploading and managing data mashup datasets requires the Administer organization role. For more information about roles and permissions, see Flexera One Roles.

See the following topics for instructions on uploading data and managing uploaded datasets plus an example of how to work with the uploaded attributes in Data Explorer.
