the simplest methods to get started is to copy factory installed templates to
your new group and edit those to suite your needs.
-
On the
Connection Design ribbon tab, select the
Connection Database tool in the
Configure group.
The connection database dialog opens.
-
Select
Custom in the
Groups drop-down list.
-
Click
New Item.
The
Connection Pad window opens.
-
Specify the connection parameters:
-
Type the connection
Name.
-
Update the connection parameters for this connection type.
-
Click
Save.
-
Close the window.
The new connection name is added to the items list. A list
of the connection tables where you can add this connection type are also
listed.
-
Click
>> to add the new connection to the
connection database file.
The new connection
type is available for use in design in this connection database.
Note: When the connection database is selected in the connection database
dialog, you can click

database to the default values.
