The Open Exchange connector is a “Cloud App” connector, meaning it retrieves data stored in the cloud. In the Data Center, you can access the connector page for this and other Cloud App connectors by clicking Cloud App in the toolbar at the top of the window. You can connect to Open Exchange in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Open Exchange connector user interface.
