Some clients are utilizing third party file storage platforms to upload reports generated from WSC. We have had a number of options in the past such as
FTP and
HTTP for sending of completed reports to third party platforms.
We now allow reports to be uploaded to an
Amazon S3 Bucket when reports are generated - Amazon S3 requires the following parameters for the upload:
- Region Name
- Bucket Name
- Api Key
- Api Secret
- Bucket Folder(s)
- File Name (no extension)
The API key credentials listed above can be created when logged into your Amazon account. Access keys can be generated from the account
Security crendtials page by clicking on the Create access key button:
After generation the keys will then be available for use:
Bucket folders can be viewed after clicking on the name of your bucket:
Where can I find the URL for a Bucket Object?
Before using an object URL, ensure that the bucket has public permissions configured. Navigate to your desired bucket and file folder, click on the name of the object you want to share. The URL can then be found under the Object URL heading:
Right click on the URL and copy the link address:
Report upload settings can be configured when creating or editing reports:
- 1. From the survey designer, navigate to Analysis --> Reports & Exports and Click on the Create
Report Icon , or click on an existing report title to edit it.
- 2. Locate the Upload Settings section at the bottom of the browse, select Amazon S3 in the Type dropdown box. Ensure that all required fields are filled with valid credentials.
