Introduction
The Data Connectors View contains a list of Data Connectors available to the parent Form, Component, Integration Service or Workflow Process. A Data Connector must be added to this view it is available to server side events via the Verj.io JavaScript API. Data Connectors contained within deployed components are shown under the prefix name for each deployed component.
Data Connectors View
Each Data Connector in the view can be:
- Clicked on to display its properties in the Properties View.
- Double-click on a Data Connector to open the corresponding Data Connector editor.
- Hovered over with the mouse to display its path.
A block of Data Connectors can be selected by holding the Shift key and clicking on the Data Connectors. To select multiple non-contiguous Data Connectors hold down the Ctrl key and click on the Data Connectors.
Data Connectors can be added by dragging them from the
Entity Tree view or by clicking the new Data Connector icon 
.
Once added, they can be prioritised by using the 
and 
icons, which affects the execution order of
the Data Connectors in the entity’s server-side events.
Data Connectors can be copied and pasted between Forms, Components, Integration Services and Workflow Processes.
Data Connector Names and Paths
The Data Connectors View shows the name of each Data Connector, and its path can be displayed by moving the mouse over the name.
When a new Data Connector is created or downloaded from the Verj.io Resource Hub, the Data Connector’s JavaScript name will be the same as the entities name. However, renaming the Data Connector entity will not refactor the JavaScript name of the Data Connector.
