This tutorial will cover the Analysis Recommendations and Related References tabsand how to upload the completed Excel template. Explanations of how to download the Excel template, and enter information on the Connection, CEDS Elements, and ElementsNotInCEDS tabs are covered in Part 1 of Connect Module 2.  \nAdding Analysis Recommendations and References in the Excel Template (Topic 1)  \nNow that you have named, categorized, assigned keywords, and added data elements to your Connection in the Excel template, you may add analysis recommendations.  \nClick on the Analysis Recommendations tab in the Excel template. In this part of the Connection, you can add business rules or additional guidance to explain nuances of how you report the data. Note that analysis recommendations are not mandatory. If you do not wish to add any, simply leave this tab blank.  \nUse the column labeled Subject to give each analysis recommendation a header. Next, enter your desired recommendations in the column labeled Text_or_Description. You may add as many analysis recommendations as you like.  \nThe next tab in the Excel template is labeled RelatedReferences. Use this space to add supporting documentation or source material for your Connection. For example, you might add a link to a published report or business rules document that is directly relevant to your Connection. To do this, simply add the reference’s title, source, and URL using the columns provided. Add each reference in a new row, and add as many references as you like. Like analysis recommendations, references are not mandatory. If you do not wish to add any, simply leave this tab blank.  \nAfter you’ve entered all the information you wish into the Excel template, be sure to save it to your computer. You may save the file with any name you like.  \nUploading a Completed Connection Excel Template (Topic 2)  \nNow that you have completed and saved the CEDS Connection Excel template, it is time to upload the template to the Connect tool. This will transfer the data into a functional CEDS Connection.  \nYou must be logged into CEDS to upload a Connection. To get started, return to the CEDS Connect Main Menu by selecting Tools>Connect on the CEDS homepage. Under the “Build” column, click CREATE a Connection and choose Upload Connection Using an Excel File. On the subsequent screen, click the green button labeled Upload a File. Choose the completed template from your computer.  \nOnce the file has finished uploading, you are taken to the Manage Connection screen for your new Connection. You can now edit the Connection in the tool if you wish.  \nThis completes Part 2 of Connect Module 2 – Creating a Connection using the Excel Template. You now understand how to create and upload a CEDS Connection using the Excel template. For more information on how to manage Connections, share Connections, or explore the other dynamic capabilities of the Connect tool, please view the other Connect tutorials available on the CEDS website.","cbCaifpb2D8i29st","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifpb2D8i29st","pdf",523349,"English","# Adding Analysis Recommendations and References in the Excel Template (Topic 1)\n## Analysis Recommendations tab\n## RelatedReferences tab\n# Uploading a Completed Connection Excel Template (Topic 2)","[{\"question\":\"Are Analysis Recommendations and Related References required in the Excel template?\",\"answer\":\"No. Both sections are optional; you can leave the tabs blank if you do not want to add any.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you add analysis recommendations in the Excel template?\",\"answer\":\"Open the Analysis Recommendations tab, use the Subject column for a header, and enter the recommendation text in the Text_or_Description column.
