Adding a data source to an object
Creating and configuring data schemas
For data links to work, Xpanel must first recognize where the data is coming from. This is
done by setting up one or more data sources within a schema. Once the data source exists,
it can be used over and over again to create data entities (i.e. snapshots, tickers and multi-
tickers). When you create a schema, you specify at least one data source and its identifying
information (e.g. location, whether it is a database, Excel file, text file... etc.).

The following topics provide more information and instructions for creating and working with
schemas:
