ODBC: Warehouse Specific Configuration

Warehouse customers adding a single ODBC store to the ShipWorks software can follow the detailed steps in the 'ODBC store to ShipWorks' article.

However, warehouse customers adding a second (or more) ODBC store to ShipWorks will have an additional screen asking them how they would like to setup the additional ODBC store(s). This article will assist you with selecting the correct setting for your specific setup.

This article assumes that:

1. Click on the Manage tab and then on the Stores button. Then, click the Add Store button and select ODBC as the store type. Click Next.

2. As a warehouse customer adding an additional ODBC store (a second or more store) to ShipWorks, you will be prompted with a screen asking you how you would like to setup this ODBC store.

3. Select from the available options. You have two options to select from:

Create a new ODBC store: If this is the first time this ODBC store is being added to ShipWorks and has not been added to ShipWorks at any of your ShipWorks warehouse locations, select this option and click Next. Then, follow the steps outlined in the Selecting Your Data Source section of the Adding an ODBC Store article.

Connect to an existing ODBC Store: If the ODBC store has already been added to ShipWorks at another warehouse location, you can select this option. When selected, you will see a list of the ODBC stores already connected to ShipWorks at all warehouse locations.

Select the store name for the ODBC store you are connecting to. Then, click Next.

By selecting the ODBC store from the list of available stores, many of the database connection settings may be automatically downloaded from The Hub and configured for you, saving you time in the setup process.
