Popdock Connectors | Microsoft Azure Tables

The user-friendly interface for custom Azure table reports.

Azure table storage is a central part of the Microsoft data platform. Unfortunately, there is not a user-friendly interface that would allow end users to quickly access specific data sets or find data without knowing how to write SQL queries.

‍

Popdock democratizes the reporting experience with Azure table storage by allowing IT teams to control who has access to the data and providing a user interface for users to self-service.

‍

With Popdock, you can:

View, query, filter and save favorite reports (lists or graphs) of data from your Azure Tables environment.
Combine Azure Tables data + data from other apps.
Use an intuitive to interface to add as many filters as you’d like
Share data and reports with other people in your company that you don’t necessarily want logging into your Azure Tables.
Embed related Azure Tables data in other apps.

Access the details, existing table views, and share Azure table storage data.

Not only can users create custom reports, but existing Azure table storage views can also be made available.

‍

The benefit of creating your reports of Azure table storage data in Popdock is that there is an interface to work with the data and those lists can be accessed efficiently right along with all your other favorite reports. Users can create new favorites and there are several options built in to be able to share data:

Create, share and tag favorites within the Popdock web app.
Create, share and tag favorites via Popdock widgets.
Export to Excel or PDF.
Schedule a job to email your report.
Use the Microsoft Teams Popdock app to pin and share your favorite reports.
Enable a Popdock API endpoint for your Popdock lists to programmatically use Popdock as a data source.
Do your formatting in Popdock and use Popdock data in Power BI or Tableau.

Combine Azure table storage data with other data.

One of the most powerful features of Popdock is being able to combine data and add restrictions, variables, and calculation. Join, merge, compare and summarize data across AZURE TABLES tables and with other cloud and on premise applications you use.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can exports be scheduled?

Yes, Popdock includes scheduled jobs in the Popdock Premium plan, so you can automate the timing for your Popdock list favorite or graph to be exported and emailed to your team.

‍

What are Popdock Widgets?

Popdock widgets enable you to take the data from your connector and embed the list or graph into the applications you use daily. A single list/graph or multiple lists can be assigned to a widget, which creates a link that allows you to embed your widget into an html page or customizable application. Options may be enabled to allow for searching, filtering, refreshing, accessing favorites, drill down into details, and taking action on the data presented. See a full list of Popdock widget types here.

Is it possible to get Popdock reports into Microsoft Excel?

Yes, the Export to Excel option can be turned on for any Popdock list and can also be made available within Popdock widgets. One Popdock app we highly recommend is the Popdock add-in for Microsoft Excel, which allows the end user to select any Popdock list favorite available to them to bring the data into Microsoft Excel.

‍
