Add Connection Admin only

Use the Add Connection page to register a new data connection to an external system. Administrators select a connection type, enter credentials, and confirm the connection is reachable before saving.

Choose a connection type

Select the database or platform that matches your data source. Each connection type has its own configuration workflow and required settings.

Enter connection details

Provide the host, port, database name, and credentials. Confirm all settings are correct before testing.

Test and save

Use the test connection action to verify reachability before saving. Confirm the connection status shows ready after creation.
