Linked Data Apps

Linked Tetra Data Apps run as external software as a service (SaaS) applications outside of the Tetra Data Platform (TDP) and allow users to access them through the Tetra Data & AI Workspace. You can link to any third-party application by configuring it as a Linked Data App. For example, you can create a link to a Posit Workbench instance, so users within your organization can easily navigate to the correct instance in the TDP.
