Editing Existing Connections

Once you have created a connection you can modify the connection, delete it, or create a new connection by selecting an existing connection, modifying it, and saving it as a new connection.

To Edit an Existing Connection

  1. Choose Connections from the Editors menu in the App Builder primary window.

    The Connections Editor will be displayed.

  2. Choose the source object type whose connection you want to view from the View menu at the bottom of the Connections Editor.

    If you want to edit a connection with a button as a source object, for instance, choose Button from the View menu. All connections in the current project with button as source object will be displayed in the View list.

    If you want to view all connections for a particular source object, choose Source Object in the View menu and select the object in the Source menu. All connections for the selected object will be displayed.

  3. Select the connection you want to edit in the View list.

    The source and target objects will be selected in the Source and Target lists at the top of the editor. Their When and Action Type choices will be displayed.

  4. Edit the connection.

    • To delete the selected connection, click Delete.

    • To modify the selected connection, make changes to any of the choices (source object, When action, target object, Action Type) and click Change.

    • To add a connection similar to the selected connection, modify any of the choices and click Connect. A new connection will be created.

  5. Click Cancel to dismiss the Connections Editor.
