To create an "Access" data source, follow these steps:
- Click the "Show/Add Files" to open the "Files Found" interface. If the desired file already exists in the file share, skip steps 2 & 3.
- Click the "Choose Files" button. A file manager will open prompting the user to add files from the local computer. Only one Access file can be added to an Access data source.
- After selecting the desired file, click on the "Open" button. The file will then appear in the file share.
- To finish uploading the file to the data source, select the checkbox to the left of the file and click the "Add Files to Source" button.
- Then, fill out the "Shortcut" parameter. Use the Shortcut field to specify a shortcut name for the data source. This shortcut will appear in all data source picklists.
- After all parameters have a value, click the "Verify Source" button to verify the connection to the Access file.
- If the connection is valid, click the "Save Changes" button.
