Available data sources
note
Available data sources are subject to change. Data sources may depend on 3rd party services or other factors outside of Smartsign's control. As such, Smartsign reserves the unilateral right to adjust or discontinue any data source as deemed appropriate. Some data sources may depend on Smartsign provided services that require a valid agreement or subscription. Smartsign reserves the right to enforce such requirements and block unauthorized use without prior notice.
Create a datasource under Templates -> Datasources with Add datasource -> Create new. To create and configure it, your profile needs Create and Edit under Template datasource. To connect one in Template Creator, it needs View.
The default Site owner and Group admin profiles have these permissions. The Publisher profile on a new site does not; on older sites it may already have View through an upgrade.
Time is built into templates and does not need to be created as a separate datasource.
