Adding Additional Datasources

To add an additional datasource to the connection we recommend using the helper function as this will automatically discover and describe the schema for you.

To add a datasource right click onto the Datasources folder and choose an option to create a datasource.

Add Datasource Options

Selecting Add Datasource from URL will enable you to add from a URL or File in your Filesystem. Please see the documentation at the following links for guidance on how to add a datasource from a URL, or how to add a datasource from a file.

Manually Describe a Datasource​

If you want to manually describe a datasource the components needed to connect are:

  • A name
  • The Schema Definition (GetDataSchema)
  • Where the data is coming from (GetDataTable)
  • If there is paging, how should paging should be handled.

To get started right click onto the datasources folder in the tree and select Add Datasource.
