The data connector’s name property is displayed at the top left of the overlay.

Its name defaults to ‘[Channel Name] Data Connector’.  If a data connector with this name exists already, an integer is appended to ensure uniqueness.  This value can be incremented.

Provision of a name for the data connector is mandatory, and the value provided can be a maximum of 100 characters in length.  The name supplied must be unique across data connectors.

A toolbar exposes a single enabled option:

      Save: clicking this button replaces the New Data Connector overlay with the Manage Data Connector overlay.  The Clone and Save menu option, accessed from save, is disabled.

A tabset is shown, exposing Data Source, Schedule and Channel Configuration tabs.  Each is documented separately.

Two buttons are shown at the bottom of the overlay:

      Cancel: clicking this button removes the overlay from display.  The button is protected by an ‘Are You Sure?’ dialog.

      Save & Close: clicking this button saves the data connector and removes the overlay from display.
