Adding & Editing Instances

On the Datasources multi-panel page, the data is divided between Applications, Instances, and Datasources.  The page wizard will provide guidance for building out each type of information so prevent adding unnecessary field values or leaving valuable fields blank. 

Datasources: Main page

On the Datasources panel, click the Add  icon to select from the list of possible connections for data connectivity and launch the appropriate Details window.

Icon	Description of Use
	Application - The system being used as a source or target.
	Instance - within the Application, the instance is the instance of the application.  There may be multiple instances of the same application
	Datasource - within the Instance of the Application, the Datasource will contain the connection information for that datasource.  The term datasource implies that one may be a source or target system.

Each hierarchical level may be created within this page with the help of the wizard that will guide the user to the appropriate setup for that type.
