Options

Not every feature is available for every tenant and user type.

If an option seems to be missing, please first contact your tenant administrator to see if the correct permissions have been enabled.

The Options hub is a consolidated space for administrative tools. To access this feature, click the User menu and choose Options.

Usage

The Usage page displays analytics relating to specific folders and services that have been set up on your tenant. This page is only accessible by a tenant-admin.

The top line metrics aim to provide a summary of the current number of Total folders, Total services and Active services. This view aims to provide users with an overview of their usage of Spark across the entire tenant.

• The time period can be adjusted using default time increments or modified to use a custom time interval.

• When a metric is selected from the Key metrics, the graph will update.

• API calls can be drilled down to the Call purpose level. The Call purpose is provided as part of the API request request_meta. If this is not provided, this will be denoted as undefined.

Service management

Folder categories

Categories are used in Spark to provide more context to Folders. This page can be used to customize the list of categories that can be set in Add a new folder and Edit folder.

Model templates

The Templates page can be used to share Excel file templates with other users.

Service library

The Service library displays all the services the logged-in user has access to. This is also a one-stop location for tenant-admin to view and manage all the services on Spark.

• Services can be filtered by service name, folder name, or status.

• Users can see information such as service name, latest version, which folder it belongs to, active/inactive status, and API call count.

• The additional actions: Go to API Tester, Go to API Call History, Activate / deactivate / archive service, Download service, Delete service, Deployment request, Recompile service may be available, based on your permissions.

• The filtered and sorted list of services can be downloaded to an Excel file.

The Manage tenant settings option to Enable tagging EnableTags must be set to TRUE in order for tag-related features to be displayed and accessible. If tags are enabled and a Saved Filter includes tags as part of its parameter set, then if tags are later disabled for any reason, users of the filter will see them greyed out and a tooltip will explain that tags are not enabled. Users may still remove any previously set tags from the filter.

Event viewer

Events in Spark are recorded for notable user actions. The Event viewer shows all of the events that have been recorded against a particular folder. The full list of events can be found in Event types.

• The filtered and sorted list of events can be downloaded to an Excel file.

Deployment request

If Webhooks: Connect Spark with external systems to automate workflows are enabled, users can submit a deployment request action through Spark to be processed by an external system. This action will appear in the the associated Folder's recent activity.
