Pre-requisite

What is a Data Source?

A data source in Templafy is a static data storage location where Templafy admins/owners can populate information about their company or content to be used in filling out User Profiles, generating e-mail signatures, or formatting/populating dynamic templates. 

Once the Resources tab is available in the Admin Center, you will be able to create, delete, and update Data Sources.

Creating a data source

Creating a Data Source consists of three main steps: 

• Creating the data source
• Creating the Schema of the data source (the structure)
• Adding data source items (the content)

To create a Data Source, follow the below steps:

1. Go to the Resources section in the Admin Center
2. Click the Create button
3. Fill in the Name and Description
4. Click Create

To populate the newly created Data Source with content, create the structure of the data source, and then add the relevant data source items (content).
