Adding a Data Source

Navigate to Data Sources and select the appropriate tab for your source type.
Click Add and fill in the required fields.
Click Test to verify the connection. A status window will confirm success or failure.

You can also upload a CSV file with endpoint credentials to add multiple sources at once.
