DFS Reference
Use the reference section when a DFS workflow needs exact configuration, access, or integration details. Start with the task guide or recipe first, then use these pages to confirm fields, permissions, and endpoint families.
Reference pages
| Page | Use |
|---|---|
| Connector Types | Choose the right source connector for files, APIs, databases, IoT streams, industrial protocols, and facility systems. |
| Mapping Fields | Check the fields used when mapping source paths to assets, points, dataset fields, work records, or other operational targets. |
| Permissions | Confirm the DFS read, write, delete, BI, and governance permissions needed for an operator, reviewer, or integration. |
| API Surface | Plan API-level integrations around DFS Lite connectors, DFS Pro datasets, fusion tasks, review queues, pipelines, audit, and BI. |
