CData Cloud offers access to TSheets across several standard services and protocols, in a cloud-hosted solution. Any application that can connect to a MySQL or SQL Server database can connect to TSheets through CData Cloud.
CData Cloud allows you to standardize and configure connections to TSheets as though it were any other OData endpoint, or standard SQL Server/MySQL database.
This page provides a guide to Establishing a Connection to TSheets in CData Cloud, as well as information on the available resources, and a reference to the available connection properties.
Establishing a Connection shows how to authenticate to TSheets and configure any necessary connection properties to create a database in CData Cloud
Accessing data from TSheets through the available standard services and CData Cloud administration is documented in further details in the CData Cloud Documentation.
Connect to TSheets by selecting the corresponding icon in the Database tab. Required properties are listed under Settings. The Advanced tab lists connection properties that are not typically required.
TSheets supports the OAuth standard for user authentication. To enable this authentication from all OAuth flows, you must create a custom OAuth application, and set AuthScheme to OAuth.
The following subsections describe how to authenticate to TSheets from three common authentication flows:
For information about how to create a custom OAuth application, see Creating a Custom OAuth Application.
For a complete list of connection string properties available in TSheets, see Connection.
Automatic refresh of the OAuth access token:
To have the Cloud automatically refresh the OAuth access token:
Manual refresh of the OAuth access token:
The only value needed to manually refresh the OAuth access token is the OAuth refresh token.
Store the OAuth refresh token so that you can use it to manually refresh the OAuth access token after it has expired.
Creating a custom OAuth application enables you to generate OAuth credentials that are passed during user authentication.
You can access the custom OAuth application (referred to as the API Add-On) from the left navigation pane's Feature Add-ons section.
By default, the Cloud attempts to negotiate SSL/TLS by checking the server's certificate against the system's trusted certificate store.
To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert property for the available formats to do so.
To connect through the Windows system proxy, you do not need to set any additional connection properties. To connect to other proxies, set ProxyAutoDetect to false.
In addition, to authenticate to an HTTP proxy, set ProxyAuthScheme, ProxyUser, and ProxyPassword, in addition to ProxyServer and ProxyPort.
Set the following properties:
This section shows the available API objects and provides more information on executing SQL to TSheets APIs.
Views describes the available views. Views are statically defined to model Timesheets, Users, Files, and more.

string
""
This setting is particularly helpful in Entity Framework, which does not allow you to set a value for a pseudo column unless it is a table column. The value of this connection setting is of the format "Table1=Column1, Table1=Column2, Table2=Column3". You can use the "*" character to include all tables and all columns; for example, "*=*".
