Data Manager - NexThink Adapter

Assets Data Manager is currently a Premium and Enterprise only feature, and is available only to users who have enrolled in our Early Access Program (EAP).

Introduction

NexThink is a tool produced by the company with the same name. It is used for employee experience management.

NexThink Adapter uses an API connection to bring data into Assets Data Manager.

Before you begin setting up, request your NextThink Subject Matter Expert (SME) to ensure that the NexThink source is API enabled with relevant firewall rules established. Additionally, ensure that the credentials to access the source as well as the address of the source are available.

  1. Gather all of the information listed in the Data Manager Fields section, such as the Name, Object class, Data Source Name, and Data Source Type.

  2. Gather all of the information in the NexThink Fields section - this may require consultation with the subject matter expert (SME) for NexThink.
