We can create a new connection by right click on Connections available in tree pane at Root level > Library > Connections and select Insert Connection option (Ensure that tree pane first tab is selected). A new window appear with General and Connection Details tab. In General tab we can provide alias name for the connection and a brief description about the new connection.
