Description
This option determines whether the connector executes reports using the Analytic API, which is also called the Reports and Dashboards REST API.
The Analytic API provides metadata about the data types for columns and fields, which makes the connector more accurate. However, the Analytic API only returns the first 2000 results. If you are using the Analytic API, you might need to filter reports to narrow the results.
Note:
The Analytic API only executes reports that have IDs. If a report does not have an ID, the connector falls back to using the report URL to execute the report.
If the Analytic API is not used, the connector is not limited to 2000 results. However, the connector samples the reports to estimate the data types for columns and fields, which might lead to less accurate results.
