Data connections

In the Data Connections dashboard, you define data connections within a specific application. Select Dashboards > Applications Administration > Data Connections.

Data connections provide access to these categories of data source:

  • OLAP
  • XMLA Providers

    This category includes external OLAP providers

  • Relational Providers

    This provides access to an option to connect to the built-in staging database.

On the Usage tab, you can specify which clients and other applications the data source can be used with.
