The individual configuring the IntelliBoard connection must be an Administrator of Canvas with the full admin permissions from the Top Level Canvas SubAccount.
Before you get started...
- You must have an IntelliBoard account.
- Before you enable Canvas SQS Service, you must make the initial connection. Please see additional documentation here.
- To ensure you have visits, time spent, page views and access, we strongly encourage you to set up Canvas SQS Service.
- IntelliBoard is aware of Canvas Data 2, and will respond to Canvas Data 2 as it is made available to Canvas Clients. It is anticipated that the Canvas SQS Service will not be needed after Canvas Data 2 is released.
General Overview
Canvas Live Data/Canvas SQS Service is not required for Canvas clients, but does give additional data sets (Time Tracking Table; Visits; Time Spent; Access) and faster updates than 24 hour processing.
