Creating a Collection

1. Double-click on the node to enter configuration mode
2. lick the pencil next to Configuration Name to name your collection
3. Click Manage Credentials at the top left of the page and enter your API Key. Click Done to save it. Next, enter the app ID of the app you want to collect data for in the box next to App ID.

📘

Note:

Enter "id" before you input the app identification number (e.g. "id123456789")

4. Update Method allows you to select how you want your data to aggregate when you run future data pulls. Append keeps the historical data and adds the future data pulls below. Replace deletes the historical data and generates the new data in its place.
5. Select Run Dates allows you to set the input date period method for your data collection as manual or automatic.
   1. When set to manual, at run time, users will be prompted to provide a start and end date for the collection to run.
   2. When set to automatic, users can define a dynamic date range to include in their configuration by selecting a time period (days, weeks, or months) and initiating the configuration. Since the user selects a time period instead of a specific start and end date, the dates used to run the configuration will change based on the timing of each run.
6. Initial Data Load allows you to upload historical data in bulk as a one-off in the event that you have the data saved on your computer. You can upload your data as a CSV file with no leading/trailing rows or columns and Redbird will run future data collections using the configuration that you set up in previous steps.

8. Click Done
