Understanding Data Views - Consolidated vs Real-time
Consolidated views
Consolidated views are data views that are periodically normalized (or “crunched”) and made available for reporting.
This crunch process is scheduled to occur once per day, but the frequency can be increased on a case-by-case basis. These allow for larger amounts of data and apply more complex queries than real-time views (which are simpler).
Custom fields are available in these views. In addition to the standard set.
Enterprise customers who have significant data should use these views, in most cases, for performance reasons.
Real-time views
Real-time views are data views that are live-queried from the TapOrders system.
These data views are more dynamic and thus may perform more slowly to retrieve data in real-time. They have a limited ability to join across data sets (such as line items with orders or flights with tasks). These types of joined data views are only available in consolidated versions.
Real-time views are up-to-the-minute and help monitor real-time activities (like task assignments).
Custom fields are NOT available in these views. Only the standard set of fields is available.
