slashes (it does not have to correspond to an existing folder).
• Click OK to close the dialog.
The plug-in may not work without the sample path.

database.
• In the Database Name box, enter the name of the Colossus database.
• Select Trusted Authentication. Or enter the required database-access credentials in the
Username and Password box.

asset it creates.
