Best Practices

  1. Create a new database user for Felt access. Felt does run queries on the db, although we keep these at a minimum. This insures easier audit for your IT team.

  2. Maintain only 1 connection per database source. Adding multiple connections to the same database will increase the query load on your database unnecessarily.

  3. In case you see an error with the connection

    1. If your connection details have not changed, try hitting refresh to retry the connection
    2. If you need to change the connection click on Fix or the settings (cog wheel) to make & save changes to the connection details.

  4. If your connection details are correct and you are still having issues, check the access logs for your database and send these in an email to [email protected].

Working with Live Data

Refreshing your source

Felt requests updated data from your database every 24 hours.

You can refresh all the data from your source on demand by clicking on the Sync Source option at the top of the source in the library:
