Connections in Zoho DataPrep

Connections


Zoho DataPrep saves your data connections to avoid hassles in keying them often. You can manage your connections from the Connection tab under the Settings page. The connections page shows the list of all the connections used across all the workspaces in your organization, along with the type and created time.

You can also quickly sort your connections based on the connections and created time using the respective sort icon located at the top of the table header.

 Data connection options   

You can perform the following actions on data connections:
  1. Connection overview
  2. Share connection
  3. Remove connection
