4.1.4 Adding Additional Connections
A single data source can support connections to multiple databases. This is useful in a multi-tenant environment, as it enables you to assign different connections to different users.
To add a new connection, follow the steps below:
1. From the 'Data Source' node of the Asset panel, open (double-click) the data source for which you want to create additional connections.
2. In the 'Additional Connections' panel of the data source definition page, click 'New'. This will start the 'New Data Source' wizard.

3. Follow the steps of the 'New Data Source' wizard (see Creating a New JDBC Data Source for details), and click 'Finish'. This adds the new connection to the connection list.

To reopen the 'New Data Source' wizard for a connection, select the connection in the list, and click 'Edit'. To change the connection name or description, click the 'Rename' and 'Description' buttons, respectively. Click 'Delete' to remove the connection.
