Appsflyer Advanced Settings

For users who have some experience working with their data in Panoply, there are a number of items that can be customized for this data source.

1. Destination Schema: This is the name of the target schema to save the data. The default schema for data warehouses built on Google BigQuery is panoply. The default schema for data warehouses built on Amazon Redshift is public. This cannot be changed once a source has been collected.
2. Destination: This is the prefix that Panoply will use in the name of the tables included in the collection.
   • The default prefix for Appsflyer is appsflyer.
   • The naming convention is appsflyer_{__tablename}
3. Primary Key: The primary key is an id field that defines the column that contains the table's Primary Key. If this option is left blank and the sheet does not contain an ID column, Panoply will insert an id, formatted as a GUID, such as 2cd570d1-a11d-4593-9d29-9e2488f0ccc2. Panoply recommends that users do not change the Primary Key.
4. Exclude: The Exclude option allows you to exclude certain data, such as names, addresses, or other personally identifiable information. Enter the column names of the data to exclude.
5. Parse String: If the data to be collected contains JSON, include the JSON text attributes to be parsed.
6. Truncate: Truncate deletes all the current data stored in the destination tables, but not the tables themselves. Afterwards Panoply will recollect all the available data for this data source.
