Data migration from Data Explorer to Data Studio – action needed!
We will be sunsetting Data Explorer in RUCKUS Analytics in Jan 2023 as we don’t want to surprise anyone. Please remind your customers that they need to migrate their data to Data Studio. Migration process is manual but there are several dashboards pre-created in the Gallery section. Customers can import and tweak these dashboards to fit their needs. A Pendo guide was pushed which will appear as a small tool tip styled box, explaining the need to move from Data Explorer to Data Studio. Users will see it maximum once per day, displayed two times in total. The deadline has been extended to Feb 1^st, 2023.
