7.9.2 Create Connections from a CSV File
A quick way to perform batch edit on connections is to export and import connections from
the connections CSV file. Each line in the connections CSV file identifies a connection. The
first column is the connection name. The second column specifies the hub data point. The
full path to the data point must be specified using the dot ‘.’ as the folder separator. The
third and following columns specify the target data points.

when deleting a connection or adding/removing data points to/from a connection, the data
points are not deleted.
