Certify a data connection

To help users find the data connections that are trusted and recommended for their analysis, you can establish the process of certifying data connections. You can mark data connection as certified and additionally provide a note to the issued certification. The data connection with the certification indicates that it complies with your organization’s data standards.

Important: If a previously certified data connection is edited, it is automatically uncertified. You will need to re-certify the data connection after each saved change to the data connection. If multiple users are certifying data connection at the same time, the last saved changes are applied.

Prerequisites
  • You have a connection in the Data connections pane.

  • You have all the necessary role permissions granted by an administrator in Access Manager.
