Tile Datastore Types

A Tile is a cloud datastore, that an Account receiving data builds in their Project. It provides a way for another Account (usually Tile Licence) to manually initiate a share of the data by dragging a file into the Eightwire Tile.

There are three types of tile datastores available:

Excel Tile  — can be mapped to any destination datastore.

Delimited Text Tile — can be mapped to any destination datastore.

Generic Tile — can be used with any file type (such as word, PDF, or image files) which are mapped to a Folder destination.

The Information section of a tile has configurable text sections for Instructions and  Support.

Templates — allows you to upload reporting templates or specifications for your data provider to access.

Avatar — allows you to customise the Tile with your organisations branding.
