   SharePoint Connection Configuration Parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Name	The connection name.
   URL	The URL of the SharePoint site, where you want to publish the dashboard, for example, http://mysharepointsite.  The URL does not have to be your Flowtime site, but you must define web parts on whichever SharePoint site you use. The URL can be a subsite, but do not use a URL of a specific page on the subsite.
   List Name	Name of the list to publish the dashboard to.  The list must have the ability to contain web part pages. The list must exist in the SharePoint site that the URL points to.
   Credential Type	Application Impersonated Store
   Credential Name	This parameter is applicable if the Credential Type is Store. Select the SharePoint user's user name. This user must have permission to add items to the list.
   Remote	Select this option to enable publishing to a SharePoint topology that users remote web parts.

3. Define the SSRS connection, and click OK.
   

   SSRS Connection Configuration Parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Name	The connection name.
   URL	The SSRS URL. To obtain the SSRS URL, access SSRS from the server on which it is installed, and click Web Service URL.
   DataSource Name	Path to the data source. If the data source is in the root directory, you must add a forward slash "/" to the front of the path. Add a forward slash for each additional sub-folder that it is nested in.  Before you define the data source, verify that you manually created the data source in SSRS, and it points to the database.
