Connection Settings is the settings area used to manage connection configurations, primarily for an app’s database and backend connections.

Accessing Connection Settings

1. Log in to the Kuika platform and open the project you’ll be working on from the Apps screen.
2. Click the Config Manager module in the top menu.

3. To edit an existing configuration, click its name in the list, or create a new configuration using the Create a blank configuration card.
4. Make sure the App Settings tab is selected at the top of the configuration screen.
5. In the left menu, click the Connection Settings option under the CONNECTIVITY heading.

Connection Settings Section

The Connection Settings screen contains the following four configuration fields:

• DB connection string
• Backend URL
• File Upload Path
• SAP Service Base URL

For each field, you can select a saved configuration from the drop-down menu or create a new configuration using the Add New link below the field. After creating the new configuration, you must select it from the drop-down menu and save it using the Save button in the upper-right corner. (In an existing configuration, this button appears as Update.)

The DB Connection String Setting window contains two required fields:
