Edit a Connection String

You can edit an existing connection string, also known as a database. Please note you can only edit inactive strings.

  1. Log into your Cityworks site. See Log In for more information.
  2. Click Host Management.

IMPORTANT: This page is only viewable in 23 and 23.1. Starting at 23.2, any host management is done through the host application.

Two tabs appear: Main and Connection Strings. From the Main tab, you can restart the IIS. From the Connection Strings tab, you can add links to databases.

  1. Click the more options icon.

The Edit Connection String panel opens. The Database Type field cannot be modified.

  1. Update the Server site, Database name, or username and password.

NOTE: Click the eye icon to make the password visible or not.

  1. Click Save.

TIP: You can also select the Advanced option and enter the Server, Database, User, and Password in a string instead of using the fields.
