Intro

Decipher is a mobile-friendly, online survey software and reporting solution for insights pros who need to execute sophisticated quantitative research. Use Domo's Decipher connector to retrieve Decipher survey data, including datamaps, lists of surveys, respondent data, and so on. To learn more about the Decipher API, visit their page (https://support.focusvision.com/Deci...r_REST_API_2.0).

You connect to your Decipher account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Decipher connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites

To connect to your Decipher account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:

Your Decipher API key. To generate an API key, navigate to https://support.focusvision.com/Deci...r_REST_API_2.0 then scroll down to the section called "Generate an API Key from the Research Hub" and follow the steps.
Your Decipher host URL. By default this is set to https://v2.decipherinc.com, but you can modify this if necessary.

Connecting to Your Decipher Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Decipher Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Decipher account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

Field	Description
API Key	Enter your Decipher API key.
Host URL	Enter your Decipher host URL.

Once you have entered valid Decipher credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Decipher DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.

Details Pane

This pane contains a primary Reports menu, along with various other menus which may or may not appear depending on the report type you select.
