Editing a content connection

When you edit content connections, ensure that the connections work properly. Test the connections, so that dashboards that access content from those connections do not become useless. If you swap content connections, ensure that it provides the same content. You can destroy dashboards, if you select a different report catalog in an existing content connection that does not contain the reports to use in a dashboard or in which the reports have different unique names.

  1. Select Settings > Content Connections.
  2. On the Content Connections page, double-click the content connection to edit, or select a content connection and click the Edit icon in the toolbar.
  3. In the Content Connection Editor dialog box, specify the required information.
  4. To ensure that your content connection is correctly configured, click Test before you save the content connection. If a connection is not possible, a message is shown that indicates the reason why the connection cannot be established.
  5. To save the changes, click OK. You can immediately use the changed content connection in the Dashboards toolbar.

You can delete a content connection by selecting the content connection in the list and clicking the Delete icon.

Caution: 
Before you remove a content connection, ensure that the connection is not used by dashboards that would not work properly when they try to access content from those connections.

You can change the order in which the content connections are displayed in the Dashboards toolbar, by selecting a content connection in the list and clicking the up or down arrows in the toolbar.
