Destination Types

A Destination is where the data fetched and transformed by Adverity will ultimately be stored or visualized. We currently distinguish between two types of destinations: Active & Passive.

Active Destination

• Data is actively pushed to the Destination by Adverity. 
• Extracts will take on the status "Imported" when they have been accepted by the Destination. 
• Destinations are added via the "Destinations" menu and assigned to a Workspace. 
• Only one Destination can be used for a specific Workspace.
• Examples:
  • Adverity Explore Element
  • File Server
  • Google BigQuery
  • Google Sheets
  • SQL Database

Passive Destination

• Data is collected by the Destination, not actively pushed by Adverity.
• Extract status will not change to "Imported", but remain as "Collected".
• Each Datastream can easily be visualized in a passive Destination, regardless of which Destination is assigned to the Workspace (if any). 
• Supported:  
  • Google Data Studio
  • Tableau
