April 9, 2025: New and Improved Sources Page

Get ready to experience a supercharged Sources page! We've listened to your feedback and are thrilled to announce a significant overhaul designed to make connecting and preparing your data in Reactor more intuitive and efficient than ever before. Prepare to deploy source connectors, dive into sample data, master identity resolution, and standardize your data with unprecedented ease!

The newly revamped Sources page is thoughtfully organized into four distinct tabs, guiding you through each step of the data integration journey:

1. Connector Settings: Take command of your connector instances like never before! This tab puts all essential controls at your fingertips. Effortlessly manage the display name for clarity, fine-tune the collection schedule configuration to match your needs, toggle the connector's collection status (whether paused or actively collecting data), securely manage your authorization credentials, and configure other collection parameters unique to your specific data source. It's all right where you need it!

2. Data Preview: Get up close and personal with your data! This tab allows you to instantly view a sample of the data pulled from your source in both a clear tabular format and a detailed JSON format. Plus, you can easily review the schema detected for your source, giving you a crystal-clear understanding of your data's structure right from the start.

3. Identity Setup: Unlock the power of unified data! This crucial tab is where you define the primary and secondary identifiers for your source. Think of these identifiers as the very atomic structure of your data within Reactor! . By clearly defining them, you tell Reactor exactly how the source's data should be intelligently indexed and deduplicated. Even better, you'll also specify which attributes can be used to seamlessly link this source to other valuable data sources for powerful downstream transformations.

4. Data Standard: Ensure data excellence with ease! On this tab, you can define robust rules to guarantee data type consistency across your source data. Say goodbye to inconsistencies and hello to reliable data! Furthermore, you can leverage powerful transformation expressions to cleanse and shape your source data according to your exact specifications.

But that's not all! We've also been laser-focused on boosting your overall experience. You'll notice significant enhancements aimed at maximizing your efficiency and dramatically reducing the number of clicks required to implement your changes. We know your time is valuable, and this streamlined workflow will help you achieve your data integration goals faster than ever before.

Get ready to explore the new and improved Sources page – we're confident it will revolutionize the way you connect and prepare your data in Reactor! Dive in and experience the difference!
