ONLINE SERVICES

ONLINE SERVICES IN GENERAL 

​

How much does it cost? 

ThorApps Online Services use a pay as you go usage model and a Payment Plan like a mobile phone plan. Payment Plans start at $100 per month and all plans include all features and unlimited users. 

​

Which plan is right for me? 
Only data usage is charged to a customer's Payment Plan, so we encourage you to use our $50 trial valid for 30 days to have a feel of how much data you consume and choose the plan that suits you best. Once your monthly plan limit is reached, you can either continue using ThorApps services, with additional usage charges applied to your invoice or have the services disabled until the next payment period begins. To check how much data you have consumed, please go to Account Settings (Cog on the top right corner), then click on Usage Report. 

​

How do you calculate my usage? 
Usage is calculated by compute time. The average cost per minute for BI Service is U$S 1.3 and for ListSync is U$S 0.13. 

​

How can I buy a plan? 

Please download our Purchasing Guide to manage paying for your ThorApps Online Services subscription. 

​

What currency am I charged in? 

You are charged in the currency relevant to the local data center you are hosted on. In Australia this is AUD in the United States this is USD and so on. 

 

Can I get a free trial period? 

Yes, we provide every customer a free $50 credit valid for 30 days on their account on the first install to trial one single product or have full access to our suite of apps. The trial will be de-activated when you have consumed the $50 or ended the 30-day period, whichever comes first. Once the trial is de-activated, your reports will still exist, but your access is revoked. You will require a valid Payment Plan to regain access and create or export new reports. If this isn’t enough for your requirements, please contact us on info@thorapps.com.  

​

Can I change my plan? 

You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your Payment Plan any time you want. To do so, please go to Account Settings (Cog on the top right corner), then click on Payment Plan. Payments are calculated and processed on the 2nd day of the calendar month for the previous calendar month.

​

How can I cancel my plan? 

If you wish to submit a cancel request for your ThorApps services,  please contact us on info@thorapps.com and a representative will contact you in within 24 hours.

​

Do users need to sign in to use the apps? 

Once signed in to their SharePoint Online environment users, receive no further sign in prompts. 

 

Can you ensure my data remains in my local region? 

We are limited to using Microsoft Azure data centers, but please contact us for your specific requirements. 

​

Can I add more people from my company to the same ThorApps account? 

To add more emails to your account, please navigate to your Account Settings (cog on the top right corner), click on Billing Contacts and then Add New. All emails listed on your Billing Contacts will receive updates about product usage and payment information.

​

How can I set up an environment to use BI Service? 

All ThorApps Online services support the concept of “Environments” and allow you to access common content managed by our Apps from multiple Site Collections. This feature allows you to keep a level of separation between different Site Collections. Please download our Environment Set Up Guide to set up your environment. 

​

How can I create and export an SSRS report? 

Please download our User Guide to learn how to create an SSRS report using Microsoft Report Builder or Visual Studio 2017 and publish it to the BI Service Report Library. 

​

Can I use my own SSRS environment? 

Yes. There are some restrictions you’ll need to acknowledge for us to ensure our BI Service app continues to run reliably. 

 

Can my users create their own BI Service reports? 

Yes. Reports are created using Microsoft Report Builder or Visual Studio SSDT extensions, both are free. 

 

Can I join, filter and aggregate SharePoint list and project data in report queries, like I would in an On-Premise environment? 

Yes. When using our ListSync and ProjectSync apps to extract Project and SharePoint list data, you can use all the power of SQL server to analyze your data and present it with our BI Service app. 

​

Can you use a shared data source to create reports? 

Yes, you can. To learn how, please download our User Guide. 

 

How can I uninstall the app?
