            To view CRM Analytics Dashboards and lenses: Use CRM Analytics

            To run queries against external data sources with Direct Data, first enable Explore External Data Directly for your Salesforce org. Then complete these steps.

            1. From Setup, enter Analytics in the Quick Find box, and select Settings.
            2. Select Enable Analytics Direct Data for external sources.
            3. Click Save.

            When you make a direct data reference, no data is stored in CRM Analytics. Each time a recipe uses direct data, a query gets the current data. In Data Manager, SFDC_Local connections represent data stored in CRM analytics. Therefore, direct data references aren’t included in SFDC_Local connections.
