Amazon QuickSight Targets in Data Synchronization Tasks

When you configure a Data Synchronization task to write to an Amazon QuickSight target, you can configure the target properties.
The target properties appear on the Target page of the Data Synchronization Task wizard.
The following table describes the Amazon QuickSight target properties:
Source Property
Description
Connection Type
Name of the target connection.
Target Object
Specify the target object for the task.
Create Target
Creates a target. Enter a name for the target object and select the source fields that you want to use. Default name is the source object name and by default, all source fields are used. Optionally, enter a file extension for the target object.
The target name can contain alphanumeric characters. You can use only a period (.), an underscore (_), an at the rate sign (@), a dollar sign ($), and a percentage sign (%) special characters in the file name.
You can use parameters defined in a parameter file in the target name.
Task Operation
Select the target operation. The Amazon QuickSight target is a delimited file and you can run the task with only the insert operation. When you run the task, the Secure Agent replaces all data in the file.
You can also configure advanced target properties when you schedule the Data Synchronization task. Advanced target properties appear on the Schedule page of the Data Synchronization Task wizard.
The following table describes the Amazon QuickSight advanced target properties:
