4.13 Refreshing Data Source Information

When you establish a connection to a data source, the data contained within the selected file is added
to your Wasp Labeler project and displayed on the Data Source tab. While the path/connection
information is retained, a constant, live connection to the file is not maintained, meaning that changes
made within the source file after you create the Labeler connection will not be reflected in the Labeler
project. To add new or edited information from the source file, use the Refresh Data function. This
function is also useful if you have created sorts and filters and want to make sure they have been
applied to the data contained in Labeler. Each time you click Refresh Data, Labeler will pull data
from the data source using any filters and sorts you have created (except in the case of QuickBooks

®

connections - see note below).

Note: QuickBooks

®

users should be aware that clicking Refresh applies filters and sorts to the data

that is already contained in the Labeler project. New/edited data is not pulled from the QuickBooks

®

source file. To pull new or edited data from the QuickBooks

®

source file, you will need to use the

Edit

Connection

function.

To update the data contained on the Data Source tab, click the Refresh
Data
button on the toolbar.


Labeler will establish a connection using the same parameters you initially
entered. You will not need to reenter a path or other connection
information. All data contained in the source file that meets any sorts/filters
you have created in Labeler will be returned.
