Manage Data Sources and Data Source Settings

As a data owner, you can edit your data source settings and disable, delete, and re-enable a data source.

For other guides related to data source members and management, see the Related guides section.

Edit a data source

  1. Navigate to the Overview tab.

  2. Click the menu icon in the upper right corner of the page and select Edit.

  3. Change your settings in the data source workflow.

    Note: Some settings cannot be changed once the data source has been created. In these cases, simply create a new data source with the new settings.

  4. When completed, navigate to the end of the workflow and click Save.

    Note: Some data sources may require the data owner to reconnect to the remote database before any changes to the data source can be saved.

For information on specific settings, see the Create a data source guide.

Bulk edit data sources

Data owners can bulk edit data sources that contain the same connection information.

  1. Navigate to the Data Source Overview page and click the hyperlinked Parent Server text, or type the connection string in the search box in the top left of the UI and select your connection string from the list of auto-completed results.

    All data sources created from this parent server will display in the center pane.

  2. Select the data sources you would like to edit by clicking the checkbox next to each data source.

  3. Click the Bulk Actions menu and select the change you would like to make from the dropdown menu.
  4. Confirm your edits by following the prompts in the modals that appear.

Disable a data source

Disabling a data source hides it and its data from all users except the data owner. While in this state, the data source will display as disabled in the console for the data owner(s) and other users will not be able to see it at all.

  1. Navigate to the Overview tab.
  2. Click on the menu icon in the upper right corner and select Disable.

A label will appear next to the data source indicating it is now disabled, and a notification will be sent to all users of the data source informing them that the data source has been disabled.

Enable a disabled data source

  2. Click on the menu icon in the upper right corner and select Enable.

  2. Navigate to the Overview tab and click the menu icon and select Delete.
  3. Confirm that the data source should be deleted by clicking Delete.

A notification will be sent out to all users of the data source informing them that the data source has been deleted.
