The CData Sync App provides a straightforward way to continuously pipeline your Smartsheet data to any database, data lake, or data warehouse, making it easily available for Analytics, Reporting, AI, and Machine Learning.
The Smartsheet connector can be used from the CData Sync application to pull data from Smartsheet and move it to any of the supported destinations.
The Sync App defaults to version 2.0 of the Smartsheet API. Later versions can be specified in the property.
For required properties, see the Settings tab.
For connection properties that are not typically required, see the Advanced tab.
Smartsheet supports connections via the following authentication methods:
Use the personal token to test and to access your own data. To obtain the personal token, follow the steps below:
Click Connect to Smartsheet to open the OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application.
The driver then completes the OAuth process as follows:
Note: Creating an OAuth application requires a Smartsheet developer account.
To register an app and obtain the OAuth client credentials, the client Id and client secret:
This section details a selection of advanced features of the Smartsheet Sync App.
The Sync App supports the use of user defined views, virtual tables whose contents are decided by a pre-configured user defined query. These views are useful when you cannot directly control queries being issued to the drivers. For an overview of creating and configuring custom views, see User Defined Views .
Use SSL Configuration to adjust how Sync App handles TLS/SSL certificate negotiations. You can choose from various certificate formats;. For further information, see the SSLServerCert property under "Connection String Options" .
Configure the Sync App for compliance with Firewall and Proxy, including Windows proxies and HTTP proxies. You can also set up tunnel connections.
For further information, see Query Processing.
By default, the Sync App attempts to negotiate TLS with the server. The server certificate is validated against the default system trusted certificate store. You can override how the certificate gets validated using the SSLServerCert connection property.
To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert connection property.
To authenticate to an HTTP proxy, set the following:
Set the following properties:
The CData Sync App models the Smartsheet data as an easy-to-use SQL database.
The data model of the Sync App is dynamic. This means that, when you connect using the Sync App, any changes you make in the Smartsheet UI, such as adding a new table, adding new columns, or changing a column's data type, are automatically included in the schema of the Sync App.
However, some tables and views, such as workspaces and folders, are static. These are defined in schema files, which are simple, text-based configuration files. The static tables and views are prefixed with 'Info_'.
Common tables include:
| Table | Description |
| Info_Sheets | Explore detailed metadata and structure of Smartsheet sheets, including their components like columns, rows, and attachments. |
| Info_Rows | Retrieve detailed row data, including cells, discussions, and attachments, for enhanced row-level analysis. |
| Info_Columns | Retrieve metadata and properties of columns in Smartsheet sheets or reports, essential for understanding sheet structures. |
| Info_Cells | Explore individual cell data in Smartsheet rows, offering granular insights into sheet contents. |
| Info_Attachments | Retrieve detailed information about Smartsheet attachments, which can be associated with comments, rows, or sheets, providing a comprehensive view of file dependencies. |
| Info_Comments | Access comments within discussions in Smartsheet, providing insights into collaboration history. |
| Info_Discussions | Analyze discussion threads, including comments, tied to specific rows or sheets for better communication tracking. |
| Info_Users | Query user data within an organization for administrative and reporting purposes. |

| Info_Templates | Retrieve Smartsheet template information to streamline the creation of standardized sheets. |
| Info_Groups | Retrieve group information for enhanced user management and role-based permissions in Smartsheet. |
| Info_Shares | Retrieve sharing configurations for Smartsheet reports, sheets, and workspaces to manage access controls. |
| Info_Contacts | Query Smartsheet user contact details, facilitating management of personal and shared connections. |
| Info_Home | Access items available on the Smartsheet Home tab, offering a centralized view of user-permissible objects. |
| Info_Favorites | Retrieve a user's favorite items in Smartsheet, helping prioritize frequently accessed content. |
| Info_ServerInformation | Access Smartsheet server information and application constants, useful for API integrations. |
| Info_CellHistory | Access the historical changes of specific cells in Smartsheet, enabling detailed audit and tracking capabilities. |
Stored Procedures are actions that are invoked via SQL queries. They perform tasks beyond standard CRUD operations, including managing sheets and attachments, and retrieving OAuth credentials.
API limitations and requirements are documented in this section.
You can add hyperlink columns to table schema files generated by the CreateSchema stored procedure.
After generating a schema file from the desired table, add a new column (attr) as follows:
These two values must match exactly.
For example, suppose you have this column in your schema file:
<attr name="MyColumnName" xs:type="string" ... other:columnid="5555555555555555"/>
Your new hyperlink column attached to this column should look like this:
<attr name="nameLink" xs:type="string" ... other:columnid="YourUniqueIDHere" other:hyperlink="MyColumnName"/>
The Sync App models the data in Smartsheet as a list of tables in a relational database that can be queried using standard SQL statements.

This section provides a complete list of the Firewall properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| FirewallType | Specifies the protocol the provider uses to tunnel traffic through a proxy-based firewall. |
| FirewallServer | Identifies the IP address, DNS name, or host name of a proxy used to traverse a firewall and relay user queries to network resources. |
| FirewallPort | Specifies the TCP port to be used for a proxy-based firewall. |
| FirewallUser | Identifies the user ID of the account authenticating to a proxy-based firewall. |
| FirewallPassword | Specifies the password of the user account authenticating to a proxy-based firewall. |
Specifies the protocol the provider uses to tunnel traffic through a proxy-based firewall.
A proxy-based firewall (or proxy firewall) is a network security device that acts as an intermediary between user requests and the resources they access. The proxy accepts the request of an authenticated user, tunnels through the firewall, and transmits the request to the appropriate server.
Because the proxy evaluates and transfers data backets on behalf of the requesting users, the users never connect directly with the servers, only with the proxy.
Note: By default, the Sync App connects to the system proxy. To disable this behavior and connect to one of the following proxy types, set ProxyAutoDetect to false.
The following table provides port number information for each of the supported protocols.
| Protocol | Default Port | Description |
| TUNNEL | 80 | The port where the Sync App opens a connection to Smartsheet. Traffic flows back and forth via the proxy at this location. |
| SOCKS4 | 1080 | The port where the Sync App opens a connection to Smartsheet. SOCKS 4 then passes theFirewallUser value to the proxy, which determines whether the connection request should be granted. |
| SOCKS5 | 1080 | The port where the Sync App sends data to Smartsheet. If the SOCKS 5 proxy requires authentication, set FirewallUser and FirewallPassword to credentials the proxy recognizes. |
To connect to HTTP proxies, use ProxyServer and ProxyPort. To authenticate to HTTP proxies, use ProxyAuthScheme, ProxyUser, and ProxyPassword.

This section provides a complete list of the Proxy properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| ProxyAutoDetect | Specifies whether the provider checks your system proxy settings for existing proxy server configurations, rather than using a manually specified proxy server. |
| ProxyServer | The hostname or IP address of the proxy server that you want to route HTTP traffic through. |
| ProxyPort | The TCP port on your specified proxy server (set in the ProxyServer connection property) that has been reserved for routing HTTP traffic to and from the client. |
| ProxyAuthScheme | Specifies the authentication method the provider uses when authenticating to the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer connection property. |
| ProxyUser | The username of a user account registered with the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer connection property. |
| ProxyPassword | The password associated with the user specified in the ProxyUser connection property. |
| ProxySSLType | The SSL type to use when connecting to the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer connection property. |
| ProxyExceptions | A semicolon separated list of destination hostnames or IPs that are exempt from connecting through the proxy server set in the ProxyServer connection property. |
Specifies whether the provider checks your system proxy settings for existing proxy server configurations, rather than using a manually specified proxy server.
When this connection property is set to True, the Sync App checks your system proxy settings for existing proxy server configurations (no need to manually supply proxy server details).
This connection property takes precedence over other proxy settings. Set to False if you want to manually configure the Sync App to connect to a specific proxy server.
To connect to an HTTP proxy, see ProxyServer. For other proxies, such as SOCKS or tunneling, see FirewallType.
The hostname or IP address of the proxy server that you want to route HTTP traffic through.
The Sync App only routes HTTP traffic through the proxy server specified in this connection property when ProxyAutoDetect is set to False. If ProxyAutoDetect is set to True, which is the default, the Sync App instead routes HTTP traffic through the proxy server specified in your system proxy settings.
The TCP port on your specified proxy server (set in the ProxyServer connection property) that has been reserved for routing HTTP traffic to and from the client.
The Sync App only routes HTTP traffic through the proxy server port specified in this connection property when ProxyAutoDetect is set to False. If ProxyAutoDetect is set to True, which is the default, the Sync App instead routes HTTP traffic through the proxy server port specified in your system proxy settings.
For other proxy types, see FirewallType.
Specifies the authentication method the provider uses when authenticating to the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer connection property.
The authentication type can be one of the following:
For all values other than "NONE", you must also set the ProxyUser and ProxyPassword connection properties.
If you need to use another authentication type, such as SOCKS 5 authentication, see FirewallType.
The username of a user account registered with the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer connection property.
The ProxyUser and ProxyPassword connection properties are used to connect and authenticate against the HTTP proxy specified in ProxyServer.
After selecting one of the available authentication types in ProxyAuthScheme, set this property as follows:
| ProxyAuthScheme Value | Value to set for ProxyUser |
| BASIC | The user name of a user registered with the proxy server. |
| DIGEST | The user name of a user registered with the proxy server. |
| NEGOTIATE | The username of a Windows user who is a valid user in the domain or trusted domain that the proxy server is part of, in the format user@domain or domain\user. |
| NTLM | The username of a Windows user who is a valid user in the domain or trusted domain that the proxy server is part of, in the format user@domain or domain\user. |
| NONE | Do not set the ProxyPassword connection property. |
The Sync App only uses this username if ProxyAutoDetect is set to False. If ProxyAutoDetect is set to True, which is the default, the Sync App instead uses the username specified in your system proxy settings.
The password associated with the user specified in the ProxyUser connection property.
The ProxyUser and ProxyPassword connection properties are used to connect and authenticate against the HTTP proxy specified in ProxyServer.
After selecting one of the available authentication types in ProxyAuthScheme, set this property as follows:
| ProxyAuthScheme Value | Value to set for ProxyPassword |
| BASIC | The password associated with the proxy server user specified in ProxyUser. |
| DIGEST | The password associated with the proxy server user specified in ProxyUser. |
| NEGOTIATE | The password associated with the Windows user account specified in ProxyUser. |
| NTLM | The password associated with the Windows user account specified in ProxyUser. |
| NONE | Do not set the ProxyPassword connection property. |
For SOCKS 5 authentication or tunneling, see FirewallType.
The Sync App only uses this password if ProxyAutoDetect is set to False. If ProxyAutoDetect is set to True, which is the default, the Sync App instead uses the password specified in your system proxy settings.
The SSL type to use when connecting to the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer connection property.
This property determines when to use SSL for the connection to the HTTP proxy specified by ProxyServer. You can set this connection property to the following values :
| AUTO | Default setting. If ProxyServer is set to an HTTPS URL, the Sync App uses the TUNNEL option. If ProxyServer is set to an HTTP URL, the component uses the NEVER option. |
| ALWAYS | The connection is always SSL enabled. |
| NEVER | The connection is not SSL enabled. |
| TUNNEL | The connection is made through a tunneling proxy. The proxy server opens a connection to the remote host and traffic flows back and forth through the proxy. |
A semicolon separated list of destination hostnames or IPs that are exempt from connecting through the proxy server set in the ProxyServer connection property.
The ProxyServer is used for all addresses, except for addresses defined in this property. Use semicolons to separate entries.
Note that the Sync App uses the system proxy settings by default, without further configuration needed. If you want to explicitly configure proxy exceptions for this connection, set ProxyAutoDetect to False.
This section provides a complete list of the Logging properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| LogModules | Specifies the core modules to include in the log file. Use a semicolon-separated list of module names. By default, all modules are logged. |
Specifies the core modules to include in the log file. Use a semicolon-separated list of module names. By default, all modules are logged.
This property lets you customize the log file content by specifying the logging modules to include. Logging modules categorize logged information into distinct areas, such as query execution, metadata, or SSL communication. Each module is represented by a four-character code, with some requiring a trailing space for three-letter names.
For example, EXEC logs query execution, and INFO logs general provider messages. To include multiple modules, separate their names with semicolons as follows: INFO;EXEC;SSL.
The Verbosity connection property takes precedence over the module-based filtering specified by this property. Only log entries that meet the verbosity level and belong to the specified modules are logged. Leave this property blank to include all available modules in the log file.
For a complete list of available modules and detailed guidance on configuring logging, refer to the Advanced Logging section in Logging.
This section provides a complete list of the Schema properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| Location | Specifies the location of a directory containing schema files that define tables, views, and stored procedures. Depending on your service's requirements, this may be expressed as either an absolute path or a relative path. |
| BrowsableSchemas | Optional setting that restricts the schemas reported to a subset of all available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC . |
| Tables | Optional setting that restricts the tables reported to a subset of all available tables. For example, Tables=TableA,TableB,TableC . |
| Views | Optional setting that restricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA,ViewB,ViewC . |
Specifies the location of a directory containing schema files that define tables, views, and stored procedures. Depending on your service's requirements, this may be expressed as either an absolute path or a relative path.
The Location property is only needed if you want to either customize definitions (for example, change a column name, ignore a column, etc.) or extend the data model with new tables, views, or stored procedures.
If left unspecified, the default location is %APPDATA%\\CData\\Smartsheet Data Provider\\Schema, where %APPDATA% is set to the user's configuration directory:
| Platform | %APPDATA% |
| Windows | The value of the APPDATA environment variable |
| Linux | ~/.config |
Optional setting that restricts the schemas reported to a subset of all available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC .
Listing all available database schemas can take extra time, thus degrading performance. Providing a list of schemas in the connection string saves time and improves performance.
Optional setting that restricts the tables reported to a subset of all available tables. For example, Tables=TableA,TableB,TableC .
Listing all available tables from some databases can take extra time, thus degrading performance. Providing a list of tables in the connection string saves time and improves performance.
If there are lots of tables available and you already know which ones you want to work with, you can use this property to restrict your viewing to only those tables. To do this, specify the tables you want in a comma-separated list. Each table should be a valid SQL identifier with any special characters escaped using square brackets, double-quotes or backticks. For example, Tables=TableA,[TableB/WithSlash],WithCatalog.WithSchema.`TableC With Space`.
Note: If you are connecting to a data source with multiple schemas or catalogs, you must specify each table you want to view by its fully qualified name. This avoids ambiguity between tables that may exist in multiple catalogs or schemas.
Optional setting that restricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA,ViewB,ViewC .
Listing all available views from some databases can take extra time, thus degrading performance. Providing a list of views in the connection string saves time and improves performance.
If there are lots of views available and you already know which ones you want to work with, you can use this property to restrict your viewing to only those views.

For example, Views=ViewA,[ViewB/WithSlash],WithCatalog.WithSchema.`ViewC With Space`.
Note: If you are connecting to a data source with multiple schemas or catalogs, you must specify each view you want to examine by its fully qualified name. This avoids ambiguity between views that may exist in multiple catalogs or schemas.
This section provides a complete list of the Miscellaneous properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| Header | Specifies whether the first row of the data is treated as column headers or not. |
| HideFormattingCharacters | Specifies whether to hide formatting characters, such as currency symbols and percentage signs, in numeric values. When enabled, numeric columns are converted from varchar to double. |
| IgnoreRowsNotFound | Specifies whether the deletion operation should proceed if any specified Row IDs are not found. |
| MaxRows | Specifies the maximum rows returned for queries without aggregation or GROUP BY. |
| Other | Specifies additional hidden properties for specific use cases. These are not required for typical provider functionality. Use a semicolon-separated list to define multiple properties. |
| Pagesize | Specifies the maximum number of results to return from Smartsheet, per page. This setting overrides the default page size set by the datasource, which is optimized for most use cases. |
| PseudoColumns | Specifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns. Use the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'. The default is an empty string, which disables this property. |
| ReportCompatibilityLevel | Specifies the level of compatibility for the returned data, determining the format and functionality provided in query results. |
| RowScanDepth | The maximum number of rows to scan to look for the columns available in a table. |
| Timeout | Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error. The default is 60 seconds. Set to 0 to disable the timeout. |
| TypeDetectionScheme | Specifies the method used to determine the data types of columns, such as by scanning rows, analyzing column formats, or treating all columns as strings. |
| UseFullFilePathsAsTableNames | Specifies whether table and view names corresponding to sheets and reports should include the full file path or only the file name. |
| UseIdAsTableName | Specifies whether sheet and report IDs, rather than their names, are used as table identifiers. |
| UserDefinedViews | Specifies a filepath to a JSON configuration file defining custom views. The provider automatically detects and uses the views specified in this file. |
| UseSimpleNames | Boolean determining if simple names should be used for tables and columns. |
| ValueSource | Specifies whether the driver retrieves cell values from the Value fields, the DisplayValue field, or automatically selects based on availability. |
Specifies whether the first row of the data is treated as column headers or not.
This property determines how the provider handles the first row of data when assigning column names. If set to true, the first row is used as column headers, allowing for more descriptive column names. If set to false, the provider assigns generic names, which may be less intuitive but avoids relying on the contents of the data.
When interpreting the first row as headers, certain conditions must be met. Column headers should not contain special characters, as these may cause parsing errors. Additionally, all column headers must be non-empty to ensure proper detection and assignment. While meaningful column names can simplify query writing and improve data readability, users should ensure that the first row in the dataset truly represents headers to avoid misinterpretation.
Specifies whether to hide formatting characters, such as currency symbols and percentage signs, in numeric values. When enabled, numeric columns are converted from varchar to double.
This property removes formatting characters from numeric values and converts them into a numerical data type (double). It works only when TypeDetectionScheme is set to RowScan and the first RowScanDepth rows in a column are convertible to double. If these conditions are not met, the column retains its original format as varchar.
This property is useful for users who need clean, numeric data for calculations or analysis. By standardizing numeric values into a consistent data type, it ensures compatibility with analytical tools and simplifies data processing workflows.
Specifies whether the deletion operation should proceed if any specified Row IDs are not found.
This property determines how the driver handles cases where specified Row IDs are not found during a deletion operation. If set to false, no rows are deleted, and a "not found" error is returned if any of the Row IDs are missing. If set to true, the operation proceeds, ignoring any missing Row IDs.
This property is useful for ensuring the integrity of delete operations, particularly when precise control over the affected rows is required. It can prevent unintended results caused by missing or incorrect Row IDs.
Specifies the maximum rows returned for queries without aggregation or GROUP BY.
This property sets an upper limit on the number of rows the Sync App returns for queries that do not include aggregation or GROUP BY clauses. This limit ensures that queries do not return excessively large result sets by default.
When a query includes a LIMIT clause, the value specified in the query takes precedence over the MaxRows setting. If MaxRows is set to "-1", no row limit is enforced unless a LIMIT clause is explicitly included in the query.
This property is useful for optimizing performance and preventing excessive resource consumption when executing queries that could otherwise return very large datasets.
Specifies additional hidden properties for specific use cases. These are not required for typical provider functionality. Use a semicolon-separated list to define multiple properties.
This property allows advanced users to configure hidden properties for specialized scenarios. These settings are not required for normal use cases but can address unique requirements or provide additional functionality. Multiple properties can be defined in a semicolon-separated list.
Note: It is strongly recommended to set these properties only when advised by the support team to address specific scenarios or issues.
Specify multiple properties in a semicolon-separated list.
| DefaultColumnSize | Sets the default length of string fields when the data source does not provide column length in the metadata. The default value is 2000. |
| ConvertDateTimeToGMT | Determines whether to convert date-time values to GMT, instead of the local time of the machine. |
| RecordToFile=filename | Records the underlying socket data transfer to the specified file. |
Specifies the maximum number of results to return from Smartsheet, per page. This setting overrides the default page size set by the datasource, which is optimized for most use cases.
You may want to adjust the default pagesize to optimize results for a particular object or service endpoint you are querying. Be aware that increasing the page size may improve performance, but it could also result in higher memory consumption per page.
Specifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns. Use the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'. The default is an empty string, which disables this property.
This property allows you to define which pseudocolumns the Sync App exposes as table columns.
To specify individual pseudocolumns, use the following format: "Table1=Column1;Table1=Column2;Table2=Column3"
To include all pseudocolumns for all tables use: "*=*"
Specifies the level of compatibility for the returned data, determining the format and functionality provided in query results.
This property specifies the compatibility level of returned data, allowing you to choose between legacy formats or newer, feature-rich data formats such as multi-contact or multi-picklist data. Choose a compatibility level based on your application's needs:
To retrieve data for report tables, the compatibility level must be set to at least 2. Adjust this property based on your application’s requirements to balance compatibility with advanced functionality.
This property is useful for managing how Smartsheet data is processed and consumed. Use it to align your data retrieval with application-specific needs, such as maintaining compatibility with older systems or leveraging advanced data structures for more complex use cases.
The maximum number of rows to scan to look for the columns available in a table.
The columns in a table must be determined by scanning table rows. This value determines the maximum number of rows that will be scanned.
Setting a high value may decrease performance. Setting a low value may prevent the data type from being determined properly, especially when there is null data.
Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error. The default is 60 seconds. Set to 0 to disable the timeout.
This property controls the maximum time, in seconds, that the Sync App waits for an operation to complete before canceling it. If the timeout period expires before the operation finishes, the Sync App cancels the operation and throws an exception.
The timeout applies to each individual communication with the server rather than the entire query or operation. For example, a query could continue running beyond 60 seconds if each paging call completes within the timeout limit.
Setting this property to 0 disables the timeout, allowing operations to run indefinitely until they succeed or fail due to other conditions such as server-side timeouts, network interruptions, or resource limits on the server. Use this property cautiously to avoid long-running operations that could degrade performance or result in unresponsive behavior.
Specifies the method used to determine the data types of columns, such as by scanning rows, analyzing column formats, or treating all columns as strings.
This property defines how the driver determines column data types during query execution:
This property is useful for adapting the driver to different data structures or optimizing performance based on your dataset's characteristics.
If precision is critical, such as when working with mixed data types, use RowScan to ensure accurate type detection. For simpler datasets or when type consistency is not required, None can streamline processing. Use ColumnFormat when the dataset includes predefined formats for columns.
Specifies whether table and view names corresponding to sheets and reports should include the full file path or only the file name.
This property controls the naming convention for tables and views exposed by the driver. If set to true, table and view names include the full file path, providing greater context for each dataset. For example, a table representing a sheet might be named SalesSheets_Agents_MonthlyReports_Sheet_JuneSheet. If set to false, only the file name is used in the table and view names. For example, Sheet_JuneSheet.
This property is useful when working with datasets that may contain files with similar names in different directories. Including the full file path helps to distinguish between files and provides additional clarity. However, for simpler datasets or use cases where shorter table names are preferred, setting this property to false can improve readability and simplify queries.
Specifies whether sheet and report IDs, rather than their names, are used as table identifiers.
When this property is set to true, the driver uses sheet or report IDs as table identifiers instead of their names.
For example, instead of referencing a table as Sheet_SheetName, you would use Sheet_SheetId, such as in the query:
SELECT * FROM Sheet_3759298161102724.
This property is useful in scenarios where sheet and report names are ambiguous, frequently changed, or not unique. Using IDs ensures consistent and reliable table references, even if file names are updated.
Note: The properties UseFullFilePathsAsTableNames and UseIdAsTableName cannot both be enabled at the same time. If both are set to true, an error occurs.
Specifies a filepath to a JSON configuration file defining custom views. The provider automatically detects and uses the views specified in this file.
This property allows you to define and manage custom views through a JSON-formatted configuration file called UserDefinedViews.json. These views are automatically recognized by the Sync App and enable you to execute custom SQL queries as if they were standard database views. The JSON file defines each view as a root element with a child element called "query", which contains the SQL query for the view. For example:
{
"MyView": {
"query": "SELECT * FROM Sheet_Test_Sheet WHERE MyColumn = 'value'"
},
"MyView2": {
"query": "SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE Id IN (1,2,3)"
}
}
You can define multiple views in a single file and specify the filepath using this property. For example: UserDefinedViews=C:\Path\To\UserDefinedViews.json. When you use this property, only the specified views are seen by the Sync App.
Refer to User Defined Views for more information.
Boolean determining if simple names should be used for tables and columns.
Smartsheet tables and columns can use special characters in names that are normally not allowed in standard databases. UseSimpleNames makes the Sync App easier to use with traditional database tools.
Setting UseSimpleNames to true will simplify the names of tables and columns returned. It will enforce a naming scheme such that only alphanumeric characters and the underscore are valid for the displayed table and column names. Any nonalphanumeric characters will be converted to an underscore.
Specifies whether the driver retrieves cell values from the Value fields, the DisplayValue field, or automatically selects based on availability.
This property specifies how cell values are retrieved from the data, based on the selected source field:
This property is useful for customizing how cell data is interpreted, particularly when working with data that includes both raw values and formatted display representations.
