Adding a Data Repository to the Browser

The Bench Data Connector Browser landing page provides options to select a data repository for analysis and to manage the list of repositories that are available for selection. When you open the Browser for the first time, the landing page will prompt you to add a data repository folder to the Browser.

  4. Locate the data repository folder in File Explorer, select the folder, and click Select Folder.
    Note The Browser requires unique data repository folder names and will generate a warning if you select a folder with the same name as an existing repository.
  5. Click Import.
  6. Click Close.
  7. Select the data repository from the drop-down menu on the landing page to view the repository contents in the Browser.
