This section allows you to update settings for specific providers within the Workbench.

A checked checkbox signifies that the provider will appear in the Project Explorer for the currently selected project.

Clicking in the SQL Server column, next to your intended provider, allows you to select the SQL Server, via pulldown menu, where that provider's database is located.

Clicking in the Catalog column, next to your intended provider, allows you to select the database (located in the previously selected SQL Server) associated with that provider.

The Notes field will provide information regarding the provider, including configuration status or any error associated with its inclusion in the project.

Click Apply to save your settings. Any change in these settings will then occur in the Project Explorer.
