A data source is a collection of data and is the starting point for all you do in Harmoni. You can use various file types which can be imported files or you can connect to a data store. Harmoni automatically maps source variables into Harmoni types.
Direct connections allow updated data to flow into Harmoni in real time and is achieved using APIs (Application Programming Interface). This article discusses Qualtrics direct connections.
If an API is available in a data collection system, we can potentially develop a direct connection to Harmoni.
