Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Answers about visualizing FTP data in Data Studio automatically

How do I connect my FTP server to Data Studio using Kondado? ▼
Start by adding FTP as a data source in your Kondado account, entering your server credentials and file path details. Then choose Looker Studio as your destination and authorize the connection. Your CSV files will begin replicating immediately, making file contents available for visualization without manual intervention.
What types of dashboards can I build with FTP data in Data Studio? ▼
You can create inventory monitoring dashboards that track stock levels from daily CSV uploads, or sales performance reports that visualize revenue trends from weekly export files. Operations teams often build logistics tracking views showing shipment data, while marketing teams analyze campaign results stored in FTP files. Since you design the dashboards yourself, you can focus on the specific KPIs that drive your business decisions.
How often does FTP data update in my Data Studio reports? ▼
Kondado lets you configure update frequencies ranging from every 5 minutes to daily or weekly schedules, depending on how frequently your source files change. Once set, your Looker Studio reports refresh automatically to display the latest file contents. This keeps your visualizations current without requiring manual uploads or data refreshes.
What specific metrics can I track from CSV files stored on FTP? ▼
The CSV pipeline captures row numbers, column positions, and file basenames alongside your actual data values, enabling you to monitor file completeness and track which specific uploads contributed to your metrics. You can visualize row counts to detect missing data, analyze column structures to identify schema changes, and filter reports by filename to compare different time periods or file versions.
Can I share FTP-based dashboards with my team? ▼
Yes, once your data flows into Looker Studio, you can share reports with colleagues, clients, or stakeholders using the platform's built-in sharing features. Team members can view the dashboards without needing access to your FTP server or Kondado account. This makes it easy to distribute insights while maintaining control over the underlying data source.
Do I need technical skills to set up the FTP to Data Studio connection? ▼
No coding or technical expertise is required to establish the connection. Kondado provides a straightforward interface where you enter basic FTP server details like host, username, and password, then select your destination. The platform handles the data replication automatically, allowing business users to focus on building visualizations rather than managing technical configurations.
Can I combine FTP data with other data sources in the same dashboard? ▼
Absolutely, you can blend your FTP CSV data with information from other platforms like Google Sheets, BigQuery, or PostgreSQL within the same Looker Studio report. This allows you to create unified views that correlate file-based data with database records or spreadsheet information. Business users gain comprehensive insights by seeing FTP file contents alongside other critical business metrics.
What happens if my CSV file structure changes over time? ▼
The pipeline captures column numbers and file metadata, helping you identify when file structures shift between uploads. You can build monitoring charts that track column counts over time, alerting you to schema changes that might affect your reports. This visibility ensures your dashboards remain accurate even as your file formats evolve.
