Destination settings
For each destination, a set of settings allows you to manage how your destination can be updated.
To access the settings menu:
Go to your destination page on Rollstack
Click on Update Settings
Here are the available options for each setting
This setting controls your destination update method: every time an update runs on your destination, it will follow this configuration:
- Update same presentation: The same presentation is updated with the latest data
- Archive & Update:
- The old content is archived & stored in your drive (the archival date will be appended as a prefix)
- The main file will be updated with the latest data
Note: In regards to the Archive & Update method => If an update fails (e.g. at least one visualization fails), the archival process will be canceled to prevent any data corruption on your historical files.
If you select Archive & Update please make sure to select the file location in the section Folder location to ensure that all archives are generated in the same folder
More information in the section Folder location below
You can configure automatic updates on a schedule by enabling the Scheduling option.
- Start Date: The first scheduled update date
- End Date: After which the presentation will no longer be updated on schedule
- Schedule Frequency: daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly
- Schedule Time: Time of the update (in local time)
In case a schedule fails (e.g. at least one visualization fails) you will receive an automatic email with the details of the failures.
You can change the location of the file by selecting the new parent folder.
For Google Destinations, the initial folder location should be empty given that we can't access the folder unless you explicitly select it in the Drive Picker
To mitigate this issue, you can click on Modify and select the new file location.
