Sourcescrub Collections
For customers who are licensed for either the SourceScrub API or Data Warehouse offerings, the platform can be optionally configured to ingest the SourceScrub ‘Sources’ to which any given company belongs.
These are lists such as industry conferences, best-of, award publications, top lists, market maps, buyer's guides, professional associations, and transaction portfolios. This feature allows users to have a complete overview of both internal Collections and ingested Sources, providing a richer understanding of each company.
If this functionality is enabled, when the SourceScrub data connector attempts to refresh one of the companies in your universe, it obtains the ‘Sources’ to which it belongs. If that ‘Source’ doesn’t exist within your platform, it will be created as a “Collection” with “SourceScrub” as a Source.
Missing companies?
If you see that companies are missing you can fetching missing companies from sources, where not all of the companies were added to the collection.
To do this simply click the “Fetch” button next to the companies count on the “Companies” Column.
- If a company is not matched with a company already existing in the universe, a new profile will be created. Companies may remain un-fetched if name and website data is not provided by the source, or where a company website is already in use within your universe for a different company entity.
- Fetching companies will consume source credits. If no credits are remaining, the request will run once credits are available.
- Fetching might take a while. To see the latest fetching status, please refresh the page.
In the “Collections” table, the “Companies” column will indicate the total number of companies the “Source” had and how many of them actually exist in your platform.
