What is a Data Connector Category?

Understand what Data Connector Categories are and how they can help organize your Data Connectors.

Overview

Use Data Connector Categories to organize your Data Connectors and their Resources. Organizing your Data Connectors into Categories makes it easier to search for a Data Connector based on its assigned Category. Assign multiple Data Connector Categories to a Data Connector as necessary. For example, assign a Data Connector that connects to an e-retailer's API to the "Third-Party APIs" and "E-Retailers" Data Connector Categories.

Package Required

Data Connector Categories are available only when the Data Connector package is installed.
