Validate Inquiries

Checks the connection to confirm that all required Velixo inquiries are available within the selected connection.


Recreate Inquiries

Saving and re-using your connection information

Once you have created your connection, you may want to create an Excel Template so that you don't have to re-create the connection for each new report.
