  4. In the Name field, enter a name for the connection. The name can be anything you choose.
    Note: Once you save a connection you cannot change the name.
  5. In the Type field, choose Cloud.
  6. In the Cloud service field, choose Sharepoint.
  7. In the Version field, select v2010. Spectrum™ Technology Platform currently supports SharePoint version 2010.
  8. In the Protocol field, select the protocol required to connect SharePoint.
  9. In the Server address field, enter the host name or IP address of the SharePoint server you want to connect to.
  10. Enter the user name and password to use to authenticate to SharePoint.
  11. In the Project field, enter the specific project whose SharePoint location you want to access.
  12. To test the connection, click Test.
  13. Click Save.
