Quick BI:Overview of Creating a Database Data Source

Entry Points for Creating a Data Source

Log on to the Quick BI console and use any of the following methods to access the data source creation interface.

• Method 1: Create an ad hoc query from Quick Start on the Workbench tab outside a workspace

  

• Method 2: Create from the Data Source module within a workspace

  

• Method 3: Create quickly from the resource list within a workspace

  

After creating a new data source from any of the above entry points, you will be redirected to the Connect Data Source interface where you can select and configure the corresponding data source.

Copy Whitelist

If you use Quick BI to connect to a database over the Internet, you must add the CIDR blocks of Quick BI to a whitelist of the database instance to ensure network connectivity.

You can click Copy whitelist on the data source configuration interface to obtain the IP addresses of Quick BI. (Using Alibaba Cloud MySQL as an example)
