      Injected Packages are used to give multiple projects and/or servers/realms access to shared data.   The Shared Data package can consist of tables, joins and reports.

      Shared data cannot be altered by the target project, but can be used to derive new data which then belongs to the target project.

      See CreatePackage for details on creating a package.

      See Deep Dive - Sharing Data by Injection for an overview of the Shared Data process.


      Helper

      Right-click in the JSON panel to bring up the context menu and choose "Wizard":

      The InjectPackage wizard will interrogate the Storage Hub for details of available packages.  Selecting a package will populate the helper with details of the package contents.

      Choosing "Apply" will add Selected options which will then be added to the method JSON.
