Introduction to OData

Real-time reporting with LoUPE is facilited by a built-in OData connection.

OData is an open web protocol for querying and updating data. It uses a RESTful approach to return data from resources on the web. That is, you use a URI with query parameters included to get information about a specific resource.

For more information about OData, refer to the website for the Open Data Protocol specification. To get started with OData in LoUPE, continue with our guide on configuring OData in Microsoft Excel.
